Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

Off topic but wondering if any of you guys who run a node have this in your debug logs?

"warning='## of last 100 blocks have unexpected version'’

My latest batch of seeing it is from height=583656 to the latest block.

I just want to know if everybody else is seeing this?
I get it every couple of days lately.

TL; DR:Nothing to worry about

Executive summary:
This message pops out because of a depleted BIP9 options.
The real problem is that if you get this error message you are not running latest bitcoin core version.
From version 0.18 this error message (basically a warning message coming out every block cannot be considered a warning anymore, so basically better to shut it off.
So: please LFC: upgrade to latest version as there are many other improvements.

  “51 of last 100 blocks have unexpected version"
  
  This warning is visible recently as a result of miners violating the #Bitcoin protocol, typically in their overt usage of the ASICBoost exploit (CVE-2017-9230).

  #15471 rpc/gui: Remove ‘Unknown block versions being mined’ warning (laanwj)
  

• Github discussion
  https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/15471
  

  Due to miners inserting garbage into the version numbers causing false positives, the current version signalling has become completely useless. This removes the "unknown block versions" warning which has the tendency to scare users unnecessarily (and might get them to "update" to something bad).
  
  It preserves the warning in the logs. Whether this is desirable can be a point of discussion.

Thanks JSRAW. You're the WOT archivist to me, more or less 

I thought there had been a post I missed with a few 15k hats to choose from, but it's not like that. So I had to borrow one of the two available hats, and I picked micg's. I hope The Goose won't mind.

I politely asked for a personalised version of the hat, and I got what I wanted.
I suggest you to try the same, you might be surprised by XHomerX10 generosity.

Thanks fillippone, I already know how liberal xhomerx10 is with his skills, since I've seen him conjure hats in a split second for several WO members, including myself. This time, however, i don't feel like wasting his time and energy, since we're bound to 30k soonish anyway

I don't think it's an old version of the client.

Code:

% bitcoin-cli getnetworkinfo
{
  "version": 180000,
  "subversion": "/Satoshi:0.18.0/",
  "protocolversion": 70015,
...

Weird, my node is running on 0.18 and I got rid of that error.

There are/were two warnings. One has gone on 0.18.0 but the other still exists. I’ve asked a few people & they’re still getting the error I listed above.

"warning='## of last 100 blocks have unexpected version'" is still shown in v0.18.0.
I'm seeing it since height=582383.

Oh, the warning that was removed was the Warning: Unknown block versions being mined! It's possible unknown rules are in effect warning, not the unexpected version one. Whoops.

Ouch!
you caught me off guard.
Yes, probably related to same NONCE fiddling caused by ASICBOOST.
I will doublecheck with my node asaifwST.


asaifwST= as soon as I finish watching Stanger Things
