Title: I don't understand getutxo
Post by: Jet Cash on January 08, 2016, 07:57:33 AM
It seems that it is a new command to obtain unconfirmed transactions. I've got a node that is using me to processthis command, and I understand that it is still under development and not fully tested. This raises 3 questions inmy mind.

How is it that new and untested commands are added to the network?
Are there any security implications in its method of introduction?
Why is it needed?

AFAIK getutxo is not supported by Core as it is insecure to rely on the data.

The command is supported by XT.
