You can always use a service like usendhome.com though the shipping cost might be too much (often more then 50 euros). But worthwhile if you are ordering something expensive. Also, amazon.com doesn't ship many items over-the-coast so usendhome is a work-around for that kind of situation.

sigh  Reindexing blocks on disk     3 years and 48 weeks behind

this is why I don't tell friends to get into bitcoin

MAST incoming too    (potentially)

I don't think it is likely going to happen within this year, but I wouldn't mind being pleasently surprised. MAST as a soft fork is just a no-brainer.

Read the release notes. That is supposed to happen. Some people.

I think not

The first time you run version 0.15.0, your chainstate database will be converted to a new format, which will take anywhere from a few minutes to half an hour, depending on the speed of your machine.

that was that UXTO or whatever, that went pretty quickly

I do not see this full reindex referenced in the notes

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Yeah there better not be a full reindex with 0.15.0 - I really can't be doing with that, I went through that process a few times in earlier releases when I had a power cut in my house.

Just loaded 0.15.0 rc3 on my laptop and no re-indexing was required.

I hate to tell you, but...

Who am I supposed to believe here

If it's the former, I'm going to hold off on downloading the latest version for a good while.

I did not have to re-index when upgrading from 0.14.2 to 0.15.0rc2 - but it does do a full rebuild of the UTXO database (format changed) which takes a while.  Not nearly as long as a full re-index, though.

From the release notes:

Upgrade notice

One of the performance optimizations in Bitcoin Core 0.15.0 is an update to the format of the database that tracks spendable bitcoins. The first time you start Bitcoin Core 0.15.0 (or a later version), it will automatically begin this update, which will take from about 5 minutes to 30 minutes depending on the speed of your computer.

Graphical users can monitor the progress of the update on the Bitcoin Core splash screen; bitcoind users can monitor it in the debug.log file in their data directory.

If you later decide to downgrade to an earlier version of Bitcoin Core, please see the instructions in the release notes.

I hate to tell you, but...

my main problem (question ?) is this ... and i'm not alone (COLD STORAGE !) :

Merge #11285: Add -usehd to excluded args in check-doc.py

I don't want an HD wallet when i can not fucking write on paper, the 12-24-36 words of the SEED.

Pray tell.  What is MAST?

Ops, misread that. Correct, a chainstate update not a reindex.

Something went wrong on your end. Did you download a RC? I don't see the link for the final build yet. Anyhow, this is not the right place for this.

Pray tell.  What is MAST?

I think the best way of putting that in layman words (not that you need that) would be "smarter Bitcoin".

So there's still no confirmation that China is going to ban crypto exchanges, right?

It seems like some big media groups just rumored this off and everyone started to follow it. Bitcoin, in my opinion, along with all the alts, would now start its recovery phase towards $5000.

My understanding is that bloomberg, routers and WSJ kinda confirmed it though through other sources...
Plus I read rumors about a wallet china is preparing for their crypto. Likely they will make their own crypto and ban everything else... not sure what would be the use though.
