  22       <div class="date">25th December 2012</div>
  23       <div class="body"><p>Let me start by wishing you all marry Christmas and a happy new
  24 year!  I hope next year will prove to be a good year.</p>
  25
  26 <p>Bitcoin, the digital decentralised "currency" that allow people to
  27 transfer bitcoins between each other with minimal overhead, is a very
  28 interesting experiment.  And as I wrote a few days ago, the
  29 <a href="http://www.bitcoin.org/">bitcoin</a> situation in Debian is
  30 about to improve a bit.  The
  31 <a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/bitcoin">new debian version</a>
  32 was uploaded yesterday, and is waiting in the NEW queue for one of the
  33 ftpmasters to approve the new bitcoin-qt package name.</p>
  34
  35 <p>And thanks to the great work of Jonas and the rest of the bitcoin
  36 team in Debian, you can easily test the package in Debian Squeeze
  37 using the following steps to get a set of working packages:</p>
  38
  39 <blockquote><pre>
  40 git clone git://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/bitcoin
  41 cd bitcoin
  42 DEB_MAINTAINER_MODE=1 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=noupnp fakeroot debian/rules clean
  43 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=noupnp git-buildpackage --git-ignore-new
  44 </pre></blockquote>
  45
  46 <p>You might have to install some build dependencies as well.  The
  47 list of commands should give you two packages, bitcoind and
  48 bitcoin-qt, ready for use in a Squeeze environment.  Note that the
  49 client will download the complete set of bitcoin "blocks", which need
  50 around 5.6 GiB of data on my machine at the moment.  Make sure your
  51 ~/.bitcoin/ directory have lots of spare room if you want to download
  52 all the blocks.  The client will warn if the disk is getting full, so
  53 there is not really a problem if you got too little room, but you will
  54 not be able to get all the features out of the client.</p>
  55
  56 <p>As usual, if you use bitcoin and want to show your support of my
  57 activities, please send Bitcoin donations to my address
