Bitcoin Core 0.14.2 Released

[chek2fire]

did anyone know a trusted torrent link to download the bitcoin blockchain?

....you must use a separate data directory for each.

Thanks FOXPUP, reindexing now(I made a .bat with the command inside it in the dir of the Qt wallet 14.2)

May I ask how to make my bitcoin cash wallet create a seperate/new blockchain in a directory I choose the location of when I next open it? As you point out it assumes control of your existing blockchain yet needs differing configs for the split to succeed...

Thanks

May I ask how to make my bitcoin cash wallet create a seperate/new blockchain in a directory I choose the location of when I next open it?

"bitcoin-qt -datadir=<location>"

<Location> must be a directory that already exists (though it may be empty), and since you must use this option every time you run it, it may be helpful to add it to a shortcut (or batch file, if that's the way you want to do it).

Thanks for the help and advice Foxpup, I will do this after 14.2 syncs...

The release is a minor new version, covering “various bugfixes and performance improvements, as well as updated translations”

[Islampower]

Bitcoin Core version 0.14.2 is now available from:

  <https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.14.2/>

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>

To receive security and update notifications, please subscribe to:

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
===============

miniupnp CVE-2017-8798
----------------------------

Bundled miniupnpc was updated to 2.0.20170509. This fixes an integer signedness error
(present in MiniUPnPc v1.4.20101221 through v2.0) that allows remote attackers
(within the LAN) to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified
other impact.

This only affects users that have explicitly enabled UPnP through the GUI
setting or through the `-upnp` option, as since the last UPnP vulnerability
(in Bitcoin Core 0.10.3) it has been disabled by default.

If you use this option, it is recommended to upgrade to this version as soon as
possible.

Known Bugs
==========

Since 0.14.0 the approximate transaction fee shown in Bitcoin-Qt when using coin
control and smart fee estimation does not reflect any change in target from the
smart fee slider. It will only present an approximate fee calculated using the
default target. The fee calculated using the correct target is still applied to
the transaction and shown in the final send confirmation dialog.

0.14.2 Change log

The war of declarations between the whales returned   
Link to first comment
Where the 2 Segwayet support was announced by f2pool
It is one of the largest Chinese minerals
For information this update on Bitquin is very modern
It was approved in May and today the statements began to stop him
This can affect the price of the betquin and push the people to metabolize cash or etherium
Circulate cautiously
Not a call for sale but caution is required

As long as you download the BLOCKS and not the ChainState (UTXO) does not need to be trusted. Client will check all vs POW on startup - although even this takes a good few hours!

[Valnurat]

Small question and it might be lame, sorry for my lame knowledge.

If I want to buy bitcoin, should I then install this Bitcoin Core?

[Meuh6879]

Yes and No.

Yes if you want COLD STORAGE for 3 years ... no if you want to spend in the next month.

[sappel99]

yes that is very true.

I tried chopping off some parts of it, but wasn't sure whether theymos would find it acceptable in the way that I served it. Therefore, I just avoided it this time. Anyhow, I'll watch the thread in case that someone needs support. You might want to lock this one now.

Is it better to download complete wallet or have an online wallet?

[Johj]

It's great to see Bitcoin continuing forward. So many seem to be blinded by prices as they completely forget the importance of the underlying tech! 

[Lauda]

Is it better to download complete wallet or have an online wallet?

You should avoid using an online wallet unless you want some trouble. Side note: This is not the place to discuss and not even ask that question. Read through some stickied threads (see Begginers & Help section), as well as use Google to find answers to trivial questions.
Again, this should be locked already.
