Title: How to set bitcoin checkpointdata parameter in checkpoints.cpp
Post by: myapple on December 24, 2017, 09:17:43 AM
In the file checkpoints.cpp there is a parameter called checkpointdata the second parameter is total number of transactions between genesis and last checkpoint
Actually how can I calculate this value?

Use a script which requests from Bitcoin Core each block and count the number of transactions in each block. Keep a running sum until you reach the block you want to checkpoint at.

What do you mean by "mining itself"? Mining is not involved in this.

Ah
The number of transactions not includes mining
