@ShelbyMooreIII: You still need the -rescan option to rescan trusted databases if the wallet is changed.

@DavidSchwartz excuse my ignorance, but wouldn't a rescan w/o revalidation of the cryptographic work be trusting the entity providing the download? Thus wouldn't this be encouraging a centralizing single-point-of-failure node w.r.t. to trust and honesty? P2P systems must inherently not trust in order to remain decentralized. If I am correct, then the -rescan command line option should be removed?

| Sep 9, 2011 at 9:11 | comment | added | David Schwartz | The only issue would be if you compiled the client yourself and used a different version of BerkeleyDB. Otherwise, it should work on all platforms. | |
| Sep 9, 2011 at 9:10 | comment | added | Serith | it should be interchangeable, bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=26044.0 | |

| Sep 9, 2011 at 8:34 | comment | added | David Schwartz | The -rescan option doesn't verify blocks. It only checks for transactions that affect your wallet. It shouldn't take very long, not more than 10 minutes or so. (And you must do this if you use the nightlies. Otherwise you won't show or be able to spend any Bitcoins you received in blocks you didn't download from the Bitcoin network.) | |
