Hi, I m retreiving this info when running

bitcoin-cli getinfo

Errors: "Warning this version is obsolete, upgrade required"

The same command reports me back:

version: 90500
Protocol Version: 70002
Wallet Version: 60000

Do I really need to upgrade?. By the way it works like a charm appart from this message and I ve been reading that the core of the client always remains the same.  And, how could I upgrade?. I compiled bitcoind and bitcoin-qt by myself and it is not in my repositoires, I m using ubuntu based linux. Really need to remove bitcoind and bitcoin-qt and compile it again to the last version?. It is then, sudo apt-get --purge autoremove packagename my best choice?. Told you so because this command will remove the libraries if I m not wrong.

I ve been reading that the command

bitcoin-cli getinfo

is not available on last version, so, whats the new way to retreive all this VIP data?.

version, protocol version, wallet version, balance, blocks, time offset, connections, proxy, difficulty, testnet, key poololdest, key poolsize, unlocked until, pay tx fee, relay fee, errors.

Thanks a million to those who could say something back. Kind regards!.

 Hi, I m having a little issue when running bitcoind. I downloaded sourcecode and both bitcoind and bitcoin-qt were compiled by myself.

i just run bitcoind -daemon to download blocks

The thing is that after the first hour of block downloading, my 4 CPU begin to work at rates over 95 % and RAM reaches 44% ( I got 8GB ). I m working with GNU/Linux Trisquel Belenos, which is essentially Ubuntu from FSF, then when I try to check out with bitcoin-cli getinfo, it does not answers back the query as usual, and the command line just blinks. So, I Kill bitcoind, and the bitcoin-cli comes back, of course saying there´s no response from server. If I restart the process ( without restarting computer ). well the overload happens again after few minutes. I don´t feel like safe leaving blockchain downloading if this strange overloads are happening to me.

Is there something I should configure?.

Is there any way of setting a limit of CPU usage for this process?.

what could be wrong or what should I check, it is just that I don´t know what to do.

I m under risk of machine physical damage, leaving the computer working at these rates?.


I would appreciate a lot any kind of help, so thanks in advance to those who could say something back. Kind regards.

this flag will work?. that´s great!. Thanks for your help!.

Hello, would like to move my 53GB folder ./bitcoin, of course to another drive because I m running out of space on my SSD. I tried, but I cannot do it:


first I go to my home directory by typing cd /home

then I try to create a symbolic link

sudo ln -s /path/to/mystoragedrive/.bitcoin .bitcoin

it returns me back to the "$" line with no errors so I suppose the command runs fine but...

well I start again the dowloading of the blockchain with

bitcoind -daemon

but the blocks download to my SSD drive. So nothing has changed after running this.

Should I erase or change the name of my ./bitcoin folder of the SSD?, right now I got this 53GB folder ( ./bitcoin ) both in my storage drive and my SSD.

or maybe this would solve the problem:?

bitcoind -daemon -datadir=/path/to/mystoragedrive/.bitcoin

or maybe could I change something on the config files of bitcoind and/or bitcoin-qt.? I don´t wanna deal with this -datadir flag every time I start the program.

Please help, would not like to mess up anything that´s why I´m asking. Kind regards!.

   Really, I was supposing so, but there´s absolutely no information about this for linux users. The only thing I found were reports with no explanations on github. And well, as far as i m not engineer or professional on computers I prefer to ask. Thanks a lot for your answers. Kind regards!.

  Hi: I m trying to use bitcoin in the safest way: I learned that the best thing I could do is running bitcoind and bitcoin-qt, as it is a full-node and outcoming transactions are safer because part of the process is done on my computer due to that huge folder (over 60 GB ) where blockchain is stored.
   
   I choosed Linux as Operative System for bitcoind and bitcoin qt and well, the thing is that I found up to 8 virus on this location:

/home/user/.bitcoin/chainstate/

like for instance:

/home/user/.bitcoin/chainstate/427915.ldb: Gen 981 FOUND

well, CLAMAV reports 8 viruses on these .ldb files contained on /home/user/.bitcoin/chainstate/

GEN 981, Violetta-B, Gergana-222, Gen 100 Years 1, Phantom, Italian 1, Copyright.2, Syslock.2 are the names

Tried to find out if some other users where afected or how this could be solved, the only thing I found is a similar problem related with sst files on Windows users and some other reports but no forum discussion.

Would like to ask someone who would know about it what should I do next?.

of course I can erase them with

 sudo clamscan -r --remove/home   

but ... will I mess something on bitcoind, bitcoin-qt ?

What could I do?. I don´t feel like safe using this due to CLAMAV, but little do I understand about virus or malware, apart from scanning. So I m making this post to let the community know about it and in hope I could find a solution and/or explanation.

Kind Regards.
