Now that I think about it, you've put your finger on the most important
missing feature right now that would make an order of magnitude
difference in the number of nodes. Without auto-run, we'll almost never
retain nodes after an initial tryout interest. Auto-running as a
minimized tray icon by default was the key to success for the early file
sharing networks. It wouldn't have been appropriate for v0.1.0 when
stability wasn't a given yet, but now it's good and stable. This is a
must-have feature for the next release so any users that come back to
try the new version we hopefully retain this time.
I think the most user friendly way of doing auto-run is putting an icon
in the Startup folder. I see OpenOffice.org and a number of other
things on my computer do it that way. The other way, creating a runas
registry entry, is not easily visible or editable by users, I've never
liked that much. I guess what we want is an auto-run option that's on
by default, if the option is changed then it creates or deletes the
startup icon.
While it's tempting to do a Linux port, once we do it we have that extra
work with every release from then on. I'd rather put it off a while
longer. Auto-run might give us 300% more nodes while Linux might give
us 3% more. Linux would help server farms, but actually we'd like to
favour individual users. Someone reported that it works fine in WinE.

Just for information: I committed my working copy to the svn/branches.
There's the minimize to tray feature and some other changes. It's
nicer to run in the background now, but it's still incomplete and I'm
working on it. The bugs are listed in bugs.txt.
Did you get your Sourceforge account work yet?

That's great, that's a good step forward.
Yes, I worked out the sourceforge login problem, it was some tricky
thing on the login page that exposed a quirky bug in a browser add-in.

I made a Windows installer for the latest version of Bitcoin, which
includes the autostart and minimize to tray features. The installer
makes a start menu shortcut and a startup registry entry. I first
implemented the autostart with a shortcut to the startup folder, but I
found out that it doesn't always work by default and ended up doing it
with a registry entry. The registry entry is removed by the
uninstaller and can be also disabled from the options menu, so I don't
think it's such a big menace to the user after all.
I made the installer with NSIS, and the nsi script can be found in the SVN.
Could you add the installer to the SF download page? Here's the file:
http://bitcoin.sourceforge.net/uploads/Bitcoin_setup.exe
There are some new users registered to the bitcoin.sf.net site. One of
them just announced that he's trading Bitcoins for dollars. Here's his
site: http://newlibertystandard.wetpaint.com/. Making an exchange
service first seemed a bit premature for the time being, but on the
other hand it's good that people show interest towards the project,
and this might attract even more interested people (and hopefully more
developers). I just sent the guy an email.

Thanks for that. I'm still merging in some changes I had that need to
go in before any next release. Some things based on questions and
feedback I've received that'll reduce confusion. I'll probably enable
multi-proc generating support, and hopefully make it safe to just backup
wallet.dat to backup your money. It's good to be coding again!
I'm going to hide the transaction fee setting, which is completely not
needed and only serves to confuse people. It was only there for testing
and demonstration of a technical detail that can only be needed in the
far away future, if ever, but was necessary to implement at the
beginning to make it possible later.
What was the problem with the shortcut in the startup folder? If you
could send me the code, I'd like to take another look and see if I can
see what the problem was. The first strcat in the registry code should
be strcpy, otherwise it would fail intermittently. If the same code was
in the shortcut one, maybe that was the problem.
It's encouraging to see more people taking an interest such as that
NewLibertyStandard site. I like his approach to estimating the value
based on electricity. It's educational to see what explanations people
adopt. They may help discover a simplified way of understanding it that
makes it more accessible to the masses. Many complex concepts in the
world have a simplistic explanation that satisfies 80% of people, and a
complete explanation that satisfies the other 20% who see the flaws in
the simplistic explanation.
