Bitcoin Core 0.15.1 Released

[MeshCollider]

What I found irritating is that the latest version 0.15.1 was already available for download on bitcoin.org, but on bitcoincore.org the latest version was still 0.15.0.1 for a couple of days.

So, I downloaded the latest version from bitcoin.org, installed it and then discovered the discrepancy and rolled back to the old version and three days later (when it was listed on bitcoincore.org) upgraded to 0.15.1 again  

Yep, changes to bitcoincore.org undergo review too, not just changes to bitcoin core code. You can see the PR here: https://github.com/bitcoin-core/bitcoincore.org/pull/464
Can sometimes take a few days before the announcement is posted unfortunately

how to get your private key in bitcoin core, what does it need, and do I have to wait until the whole blockcjain is downloaded?

[levancov]

we all have to be patient. if you let the work do it, it will be all right. all confidence in it

yes, I also think we need to be patient and yet we need faith and everything will turn out

[Shrinath]

To survive today funding is mandatory.
The same holds true for tomorrow and days ahead.
Hence, the necessity is to create a recurring source of funds that would secure the minimum material necessities of our daily lives.
This needs a process. A tested and secure one.
Once this is established, we can move into expansion or diversification without disturbing the already established process.
Hence, we slowly need to move into a recurring process of magnification of fund inflow.

And, Bitcointalk is the safest and a secure way to start.

That is my goal.

I am noticing that this update has remedied some very large issues, but the transition is sort of tricky- thank you achow for your recommends and tips.

[black91]

Thanks for another stunning release. Such a shame from the S2X fraction to force you for that build. The good thing is it makes the software more secure against future attacks, on the other hand SegWit support has been postponed for the next release.

I'm not so comfortable with how the github process exactly works. But for me the 15.2 milestone seems to be almost done, only one pr is open right now. So can we expect 15.2 very soon also or will other pull requests be added to 15.2 first?
Thanks

Please post your queries while working on the above, will help resolve.

The Bitcoin 0.15.1 released is for an improved and more efficient safety and network enhancement.This release focuses on the safety of the P2P network as a precaution against potential future network forks, as well as bringing bug fixes, optimizations and improvements to the 0.15.x series.There are changes in the way Bitcoin Core deals with peer connections and invalid block as a safety precaution against blockchain forks and misbehaving peers.Peers which provide a chain with less work than the minimum-chain-work during IBD will now be disconnected.

May I ask what is "during IBD will now be disconnected"

I also tried downloading to a computer, but when the download was running 50%, it was reported error, and Bitcoin Core Qt.exe stopped abruptly ...

I do not understand what it is

[hassan.shakeel.rajpoot]

Will this be more security? i used to get the error. The transaction should be upgraded and no fee required.

Of course, with the new version, the security and transaction speed is increased. But we can not say anything about the transaction charges. They still might be applicable on every transaction you make. But we hope that these transactions charges remain at low and wothout any taxation.

wow you have a successfull project of bitcoin core good job everyone God bless

[gigatux]

So about the latest release of bitcoin core, the version 0.15.1 has better features, updated GUI, and it is more efficient and more reliable on transactions. I can say that bitcoin has evolved and I loved it.

You don't have to wait for the blockchain to download, you could export them using:

Code:

walletpassphrase "wallet_password_here" 600
dumpprivkey bitcoin_address_here

Ignore the first line If you're wallet is not encrypted.

IBD stands for Initial Block Download, it is the process through which a Bitcoin full node downloads and validates the whole blockchain from the genesis block up to current time the first time it is run (to get up to sync).

[sloturtz]

Anyone interested in the seeing the data on how many nodes are upgrading in real-time, please PM me, I'm testing a new unique service and I'm interested in user opinion.

[kamranakmal]

How is it working for people, anybody notice a marked improvement before I try it for myself?

its good to have a safer code behind the platform.

Where is the better place to save private key?

what is the checksum to verify?

my result with the qt inside is edf150cf1fd013e2b2a26f126c7ae058f3d0f5dd1614b967e2340ce6bf67e784
