Hello all,
So I've been advised by several very knowledgeable folks here that the official website for Bitcoin Core is
https://bitcoincore.org/ after questioning in a previous thread the reasons that
bitcoin.org doesn't point to version 23 but rather version 22 as the current version of bitcoin core. I guess that's all fine, however today when I was looking at the Bitcoin Core site and looking to upgrade a to a previous version (prior to taproot) I found that at the following link
https://bitcoincore.org/en/releases/0.20.2/ there is a version listed as 0.20.2 which can't been seen on either:
https://bitcoin.org/en/version-history nor at the github repository here:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/releases .
I started digging a little bit and performed the following check on the windows installer file
certutil -hashfile bitcoin-0.20.2-win64-setup.exe SHA256
SHA256 hash of bitcoin-0.20.2-win64-setup.exe:
6bee1cc525f950bb3c665d37b0dcbcecd84c8d238c2abefcce5ed05043290e8e
CertUtil: -hashfile command completed successfully.
A quick google of the hash produced came back with absolutely 0 results which is kind of abnormal. In fact the only reference to this version or that hash of the version is on the link here:
https://bitcoincore.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.20.2/ and in the file SHA256SUMS file.
Either way, I was hoping that someone out there might know why this version is MIA from the GITHUB list as well as seemingly no other mention of its existence outside of the bitcoin core site.
TIA!
