Activating best chain?

October 25, 2015, 06:14:03 PM

I just installed Bitcoin core .11.1 over my .10.2. It's starting up and displaying the message "Activation best chain". I have never seen a message like that. What, exactly, does it mean?
Thanks,
Sam

That is a normal message. It is just checking its blocks to find the longest blockchain and its chain tip. Just wait and it will finish.

OK, it's a new "normal" message. So this version is using the standard block chain and NOT the XT blocks, right?

Edit: thanks for the reply.

I don't think there's any difference between "standard block chain" and "XT blocks" right now. It's the same chain.

It means "Don't worry - you're not waiting all this time to get anything, but the best chain"
