Done.

Not sure what you mean. It is the most recent release.

I've just paid my portion of the bounty 50 BTC, please mark me off.

I would have paid earlier but because this forum has no working subscription function it's a little tricky to keep track of all the threads I'm watching.  I wish the admins would do something about this.

Done.

This is very helpful Thank you. I love learning new things.

Port 8333 should be the P2P port. The RPC interface listens on 8332 locally (127.0.0.1). If you changed that in the extension options, try changing it back. What you are describing sounds like it is connecting to something, but either authentication fails or it's not getting a response it recognizes.

There are still some situations where it doesn't show an error. I'm fixing them as I find them. It should be finding addresses on the page as long as it's connecting to Bitcoin. They should show up as links. It's not finding them all though, so I'm still working on that.

It's still going. I haven't had as much time to work on it lately. I've tweaked a few things but nothing big enough to make a new release. I'm also working with Mt.Gox to build a clientless version that may also support trading.

Clientless as in you don't need Bitcoin running on your own computer (though I guess it's not really the client part we're using here). You'll be able to access your Mt.Gox wallet. As for trading, if I go that far, you'll be able to buy more bitcoins from the extension, or convert them back to Mt.Gox dollars. You'll also be able to see a simplified version of the current market data.
