Title: Contributor patched versions of Bitcoin Core
Post by: johnjacksonbtc on July 18, 2016, 05:40:33 PM
Hello BitcoinTalk users,

I was somewhat disappointed there was no reference to https://github.com/btcdrak/bitcoin/releases . I have heard some Bitcoin Core contributors do build their own versions for Satoshi client, but there is a little info from third parties about their usage, pros and cons. Are there some other versions around that have new features or tweaks not included in master tree?

There are several versions of the reference client. Some examples of these versions are XT, Classic and Unlimited.

I have not read about contributor built clients before. I find their existence rather exciting, but not that unexpected since most BTC clients are open-source so why would we not build our own clients? So, do you assume there could be such contributor built clients that exceed the features of the master tree?
