this can be nice when getblock is supported :) bascially we can then get raw transactions in 2 rpc calls not 1000s

Cheers

I have a need for sendmany; I'll go ahead and fork and attempt to implement it. It'd be cool if you could review the pull request when I'm done to see if the work I do is okay. :)

It's been a good while since 0.0.3, and it would help for packaging. The biggest (only?) change is the change from Bitcoin::Client to BitcoinClient, but it's a tight little library, and the lack of an updated package is making it a little difficult, I'd rather not see this package get a fork over something silly...

Any plans to incorporate some ruby 2.0 goodness in?

RubyGems.org doesn't report a license for your gem. This is because it is not specified in the gemspec of your last release.

via e.g.

  spec.license = 'MIT'
  # or
  spec.licenses = ['MIT', 'GPL-2']

Including a license in your gemspec is an easy way for rubygems.org and other tools to check how your gem is licensed. As you can imagine, scanning your repository for a LICENSE file or parsing the README, and then attempting to identify the license or licenses is much more difficult and more error prone. So, even for projects that already specify a license, including a license in your gemspec is a good practice. See, for example, how rubygems.org uses the gemspec to display the rails gem license.

There is even a License Finder gem to help companies/individuals ensure all gems they use meet their licensing needs. This tool depends on license information being available in the gemspec. This is an important enough issue that even Bundler now generates gems with a default 'MIT' license.

I hope you'll consider specifying a license in your gemspec. If not, please just close the issue with a nice message. In either case, I'll follow up. Thanks for your time!

Appendix:

If you need help choosing a license (sorry, I haven't checked your readme or looked for a license file), GitHub has created a license picker tool. Code without a license specified defaults to 'All rights reserved'-- denying others all rights to use of the code.
Here's a list of the license names I've found and their frequencies

p.s. In case you're wondering how I found you and why I made this issue, it's because I'm collecting stats on gems (I was originally looking for download data) and decided to collect license metadata,too, and make issues for gemspecs not specifying a license as a public service :). See the previous link or my blog post about this project for more information.

Hi all.

I get this error when using ruby 2.

*** extconf.rb failed ***

libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more details. You may

[Ended up being an incorrect gem]

This project appears to be abandoned. Is that indeed the case?

After dabbling with Bitcoin in 2011, I hadn't touched it again until a month ago. I also haven't programmed in any language for about a decade, as I've been busy raising children.

Now, I'm delving into Bitcoin again and finding myself wanting to programmatically access the network. Since the last language I used was Ruby in about 2007, that's the one I turned to for the task, but there doesn't seem to be a functional, up-to-date Bitcoin library for the language. I must say I'm rather surprised.

This library is missing all of the API calls added to Bitcoin in recent years. Adding each of them appears to be a trivial 3 line fix per call.

Are there any plans to add these, or am I slowly talking myself back into contributing to a project?

This gem has the namespace bitcoin - http://rubygems.org/gems/bitcoin

This library has the namespace bitcoin-client but require 'bitcoin'. This leads to a namespace clash. Would you be able to change the namespace to bitcoin-client to match what is on ruby gems?

Looks really cool!

I just created my own bitcoin-client gem and only discovered your existed after I tried to publish it.

https://github.com/kristianmandrup/bitcoin-client

If you find any useful chunks in my lib, please feel free to steal it. Also, would be nice with some documentation of how to use the Move API from Ruby/Rails to do actual Bitcoin transactions and not only get the balance. Cheers!

The current README.rdoc in the repo does not match the README.rdoc on rdoc.info (http://rdoc.info/gems/bitcoin-client/frames/file/README.rdoc) nor the actual code in gem v0.0.3, which is what I have installed. Bitcoin::Client.new works for me, but BitcoinClient is not defined anywhere. Somewhat confused...

I am able to install the gem, but when I try to use it, I get this error

in `require': cannot load such file -- bitcon_client (LoadError)

Hi @sinisterchipmunk - great work on the gem. I'm unable to listtransactions of the whole server and override the count. I found the culprit at Bitcoin::Request - it chops off all params when it sees nil. The problem is, when listing transactions of a server, you don't specify an account:

• client.listaccounts nil - gets transactions of the whole server
• client.listaccounts 'some account name' - lists transactions of a specific account

What approach do you think I should take?

Works fine in normal mode but the moment I change testnet=1 in bitcoin.conf, I get the Errno::ECONNREFUSED: Connection refused - connect(2) error on calls. Any ideas?
