Title: Bitcoin Core 0.14.1 Released Post by: achow101 on April 22, 2017, 01:45:29 PM Bitcoin Core version 0.14.1 is now available from:
https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.14.1/ (https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.14.1/) This is a new minor version release, including various bugfixes and performance improvements, as well as updated translations. Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues) To receive security and update notifications, please subscribe to: https://bitcoincore.org/en/list/announcements/join/ (https://bitcoincore.org/en/list/announcements/join/) Compatibility Bitcoin Core is extensively tested on multiple operating systems using the Linux kernel, macOS 10.8+, and Windows Vista and later. Microsoft ended support for Windows XP on April 8th, 2014 (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/WindowsForBusiness/end-of-xp-support), No attempt is made to prevent installing or running the software on Windows XP, you can still do so at your own risk but be aware that there are known instabilities and issues. Please do not report issues about Windows XP to the issue tracker. Bitcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not frequently tested on them. Notable changes RPC changes
These interface changes break compatibility with 0.14.0, when the named arguments functionality, introduced in 0.14.0, is used. Client software using these calls with named arguments needs to be updated. Mining In previous versions, getblocktemplate required segwit support from downstream clients/miners once the feature activated on the network. In this version, it now supports non-segwit clients even after activation, by removing all segwit transactions from the returned block template. This allows non-segwit miners to continue functioning correctly even after segwit has activated. Due to the limitations in previous versions, getblocktemplate also recommended non-segwit clients to not signal for the segwit version-bit. Since this is no longer an issue, getblocktemplate now always recommends signalling segwit for all miners. This is safe because ability to enforce the rule is the only required criteria for safe activation, not actually producing segwit-enabled blocks. UTXO memory accounting Memory usage for the UTXO cache is being calculated more accurately, so that the configured limit (-dbcache) will be respected when memory usage peaks during cache flushes. The memory accounting in prior releases is estimated to only account for half the actual peak utilization. The default -dbcache has also been changed in this release to 450MiB. Users who currently set -dbcache to a high value (e.g. to keep the UTXO more fully cached in memory) should consider increasing this setting in order to achieve the same cache performance as prior releases. Users on low-memory systems (such as systems with 1GB or less) should consider specifying a lower value for this parameter. Additional information relating to running on low-memory systems can be found here: reducing-bitcoind-memory-usage.md (https://gist.github.com/laanwj/efe29c7661ce9b6620a7). 0.14.1 Change log Detailed release notes follow.

Thank you Title: Re: Bitcoin Core 0.14.1 Released Post by: Carlton Banks on May 23, 2017, 01:49:34 PM When you have that 130 GB database file (also known as "the blockchain"), you're stopping people from cheating the rules of the Bitcoin system.
It's really important that people download the blockchain to use Bitcoin, not just to enforce the rules, but to get the extra privacy and security you get when using the blockchain directly. If regular people weren't running the Bitcoin blockchain, there would be no Bitcoin, and no $2000+ price. When more people use the blockchain directly (with their own +130GB copy on their computer), Bitcoin is more resilient and secure, and hence more valuable.

The ideal is to keep a full blockchain, but if you don't have the disk space at this time, sure, use prune. You're still helping to enforce Bitcoin's rules, it's just that you can't help new Bitcoin nodes onto the network to download the blockchain, as you don't have the full blockchain to upload to them.

Is it absolutely necessary to download all blocks.
is it safe to activate prune? how much data size will be, when in prune mode? Title: Re: Bitcoin Core 0.14.1 Released Post by: Meuh6879 on May 25, 2017, 09:39:45 PM from 500Mb to 140Gb.

i need something like -zapwallettxes but that work with prune mode, i can't redownload the entire blockchain now, because i have no space currently i have some games installed Title: Re: Bitcoin Core 0.14.1 Released Post by: masterbt on May 26, 2017, 01:58:43 PM from 500Mb to 140Gb. Are you saying this size for prune mode? Also, it is very slow today for the blockchain downloading. Title: Re: Bitcoin Core 0.14.1 Released Post by: Meuh6879 on May 26, 2017, 04:13:43 PM Yes.
https://bitcoincore.org/en/releases/0.12.0/ Quote With 0.12 it is possible to use wallet functionality in pruned mode. This can reduce the disk usage from currently around 60 GB to around 2 GB. However, rescans as well as the RPCs importwallet, importaddress, importprivkey are disabled. To enable block pruning set prune=<N> on the command line or in bitcoin.conf, where N is the number of MiB to allot for raw block & undo data. A value of 0 disables pruning. The minimal value above 0 is 550. Your wallet is as secure with high values as it is with low ones. Higher values merely ensure that your node will not shut down upon blockchain reorganizations of more than 2 days - which are unlikely to happen in practice. In future releases, a higher value may also help the network as a whole: stored blocks could be served to other nodes. For further information about pruning, you may also consult the release notes of v0.11.0. Title: Re: Bitcoin Core 0.14.1 Released Post by: flappycoinrevive on May 27, 2017, 04:13:56 AM I recently started a bitcoin node to support the network. I opened the port 8333 on my router and have set my firewall to accept incoming connections from my bitcoin client, but It still doesn't show any incoming connections. I even visited the bitcode page to check my node status and it states that it is inaccessible. Please help!

Why we can't use this new version for mining? Title: Re: Bitcoin Core 0.14.1 Released Post by: -ck on May 28, 2017, 11:10:35 PM Hey guys, I am new and was looking for something for CPU mining. Because bitcoin mining difficulty is so high that CPU mining isn't even guaranteed to solve one block on average before the end of the known universe. We don't want to encourage people to waste time and energy doing something completely futile and furthermore encourage them to create illegal botnets stealing power for something futile (that's usually why people ask about CPU mining.)Why we can't use this new version for mining?

Good Evening Carlton Banks, I am fairly well informed but perhaps you could elaborate further. Could you please explain how one goes about using the blockchain directly, not only for me but also for those listening/watching/reading but also for the benefit of future lurkers/searchers of these forums.

just install and run Bitcoin Core, then your Bitcoin Core node will add another brick of strength to Satoshi's Fortress of rules :) (or another watt to Satoshi's cryptographic force-field, whatever metaphor you prefer :D) The privacy and security do not necessarily come for free. The best setup involves, in order:

What happens when it reaches 2 and then 10 terabyte. At some point the problem is not solvable. Surely someone is working on a way to truncate the block chain or some sort of solution. What if someone new wants to get the bitcoin wallet and load it from scratch. Its going to take a 6 months to load it into the PC. This is crazy...

What happens when it reaches 2 and then 10 terabyte. At some point the problem is not solvable. Surely someone is working on a way to truncate the block chain or some sort of solution. What if someone new wants to get the bitcoin wallet and load it from scratch. Its going to take a 6 months to load it into the PC. This is crazy... I just picked up a couple of 5 terabyte Seagate portable drives. They don't require an external power source and fit in my pocket. That's 10 terabytes right there. Haha by the time the block chain is that big we'll have 10 tb USB drives ;-) Ahh technology.... I can remember When the 107MB on my old Tandy seemed huge - I spent so many hours playing doom on floppy disk on that thing! I DEFINITELY did not know what a terabyte even was, and that I'd have ten of them sitting in my pants pocket like a wallet someday.. No worries on the size front :-)))) Title: Re: Bitcoin Core 0.14.1 Released Post by: Meuh6879 on June 15, 2017, 10:18:23 PM 0.14.2 available : https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/releases
