*Thanks to [our
|
||||
volunteers](https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/graphs/contributors?from=2014-12-01&to=2015-02-28&type=c)
|
||||
and the financial sponsorship of [The Bitcoin
|
||||
Foundation](https://bitcoinfoundation.org/), we've made the
|
||||
following accomplishments this quarter.*
|
||||
|
||||
Summary for December 2014, January 2015, and February 2015.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Quarterly page views:** [over 7 million.](https://bitcoin.org/stats/)
|
||||
|
||||
* **Translations:** Bitcoin.org now has fully proofread and complete
|
||||
translations for 26 languages. New and significantly-improved
|
||||
translations added this quarter include Bulgarian, Greek, Polish,
|
||||
and Turkish.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Developer documentation:** added 114 new or completely rewritten
|
||||
printed pages worth of text describing Bitcoin Core's RPC interface
|
||||
and 8 more pages describing its new HTTP REST interface. Bitcoin Core
|
||||
0.10.0's new headers-first sync is now documented as is the older
|
||||
blocks-first sync. Begun in the previous quarter, this quarter also
|
||||
saw the completion of over 30 printed pages worth of text describing
|
||||
the Bitcoin peer-to-peer network.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Contributors:** long-time site maintainer Saïvann Carignan, who has
|
||||
made [over 1,000
|
||||
commits](https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/commits/master?author=saivann)
|
||||
during the past two years, has announced he no longer has time to lead
|
||||
the project. A search is on for new volunteers who are willing to
|
||||
contribute to one of most trusted Bitcoin resources on the Internet.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Wallets:** reviewed and added three new wallets to the Choose Your
|
||||
Wallet page, and all previously-listed wallets now support HTTP Strict
|
||||
Transport Security (HSTS) for secure parts of their sites.
|
||||
|
||||
* **User guides:** A new guide has been published to the site providing
|
||||
detailed instructions for supporting the network by running the
|
||||
Bitcoin Core full node. The announcement of the page received over
|
||||
[200 upvotes on
|
||||
Reddit](http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2wvdko/new_page_on_bitcoinorg_running_a_full_node/).

||||
## Translations
|
||||
|
||||
> "Muchas gracias por atender esto inmediatamente, ¡y por el trabajo
|
||||
> realizado!" (Many thanks for doing this immediately, and for all the
|
||||
> work done!) --Adamantike on Transifex.com
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Non-US/UK visitors accounted for 35% percent of Bitcoin.org's traffic
|
||||
this quarter, about 2.5 million page views. Future translation work will
|
||||
likely depend on how the English portion of the site is changed in the
|
||||
coming months.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Newly proofread:** Bulgarian, Polish, and Turkish translations
|
||||
|
||||
* **FAQ translated:** the longest localized page on the site, the
|
||||
[FAQ](http://btcorg.localhost/en/faq) has now been translated into
|
||||
Polish and Turkish.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Newly added:** a Greek translation
|
||||
|
||||
* **Updated:** this quarter saw updates small and large for the
|
||||
translations to Bulgarian, Chinese (Traditional), Chinese
|
||||
(Simplified), Danish, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Hindi, Hungarian,
|
||||
Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Polish, Portuguese,
|
||||
Romanian, Russian, Swedish, Turkish, and Ukrainian.
|
||||
|
||||
We are extremely grateful for all the translations contributed by
|
||||
volunteers and paid translators on our [Transifex project
|
||||
page](https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/bitcoinorg/) as well as the
|
||||
many reviews made by Saïvann Carignan.
|
||||
|
||||

||||
|
||||
## Developer documentation
|
||||
|
||||
> "Nice work!" ---Jonas Schnelli about the new HTTP REST documentation
|
||||
> ([source](https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/pull/720#issuecomment-71515413))
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The three main developer documentation webpages received a total
|
||||
of about 90,000 page views this quarter. Accomplishments this
|
||||
quarter include:
|
||||
|
||||
* **RPC rewrite:** added [114 new or completely
|
||||
rewritten](https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/pull/693) printed
|
||||
pages worth of text describing Bitcoin Core's RPC interface and [8
|
||||
more pages](https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/pull/720)
|
||||
describing its new HTTP REST interface.
|
||||
|
||||
* **What's headers first?** Bitcoin Core 0.10.0's new
|
||||
headers-first sync [is now
|
||||
documented](https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/pull/736) as is
|
||||
[the older blocks-first
|
||||
sync](https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/pull/685).
|
||||
|
||||
* **P2P protocol:** begun in the previous quarter, this quarter also saw
|
||||
the [completion](https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/pull/657) of
|
||||
over 30 printed pages worth of text [describing the Bitcoin
|
||||
peer-to-peer network](https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-reference#p2p-network).
|
||||
|
||||
* **Ease contribution:** nearly every subheading [now
|
||||
includes](https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/pull/682) links that
|
||||
allow instant submission of corrections or reporting of issues related
|
||||
to the text.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Documentation is not a specification:** relaying comments frequently
|
||||
made by Bitcoin Core developers, we now make clear that the
|
||||
[documentation is not a
|
||||
specification](https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/pull/679)
|
||||
|
||||
* **Bitcoin Core 0.10.0:** many small changes were made to update the
|
||||
documentation to accurately describe Bitcoin Core 0.10.0 behavior.
|
||||
|
||||
Most documentation was written by David A. Harding, with reviews
|
||||
conducted by Saïvann Carignan, Jonas Schnelli, and others.
|
||||
|
||||
## Regular Updates
|
||||
|
||||
> "Great!"
|
||||
> "Thanks."
|
||||
> "Thank you!"
|
||||
> ---Users after we helped promote their Bitcoin events (sources:
|
||||
> [1](https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/issues/702),
|
||||
> [2](https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/issues/741),
|
||||
> [3](https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/issues/741))
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The English [homepage](https://bitcoin.org/en/) and [Getting
|
||||
Started](https://bitcoin.org/en/getting-started) page by themselves
|
||||
received over 2.0 million visits this quarter. These and other regular
|
||||
content pages are often updated based on suggestions by first-time
|
||||
contributors, with the bulk of updates going to the [Events
|
||||
page](https://bitcoin.org/en/events) and the [Resources
|
||||
page](https://bitcoin.org/en/resources) (and its many translations).
|
||||
|
||||
* **Update events:** listed 20 new events in addition to the events
|
||||
automatically listed by the site software.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Update links:** updated redirected or broken links, as well as removed
|
||||
or redirected links that point to resources our contributors no longer
|
||||
think are useful.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Localize links:** pointed links to relevant local resources for some
|
||||
languages.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Add non-profit link directory:** added the excellent non-profit link
|
||||
directory compiled by GiveBTC.org.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Mention innovative technology:** added the Lighthouse P2P crowdfunding
|
||||
platform to the list of innovative Bitcoin technology.
|
||||
|
||||
We are grateful to all of the contributors who opened issues and made
|
||||
pull requests to keep the site content current and useful.
|
||||
|
||||
## Wallets
|
||||
|
||||
> "Thank you! Good catch!" ---GreenAddress on GitHub after we discovered
|
||||
> a bug in the new GreenBits wallet
|
||||
> ([source](https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/pull/725#issuecomment-73322654))
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The [Choose Your Wallet page](https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet)
|
||||
is one of our most visited pages---just the English version of the page
|
||||
alone has received over 400,000 visitors this quarter. However,
|
||||
maintaining the page is also one of our most time-consuming activities due
|
||||
to the number of wallet authors who want us to include their wallet on
|
||||
the page.
|
||||
|
||||
* **New wallets:** we reviewed and added three new wallets
|
||||
[Airbitz](https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/pull/652),
|
||||
[Circle](https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/pull/697), and
|
||||
[Coinapult](https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/pull/577).
|
||||
|
||||
* **Made HSTS a requirement:** after contacting eight wallet
|
||||
providers and asking them to enable HTTP Strict Transport Security
|
||||
(HSTS) on their sites, all eight eventually agreed to use this
|
||||
simple server setting to help prevent possibly-devastating
|
||||
man-in-the-middle attacks.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Removed Blockchain.info:** although a very popular wallet service,
|
||||
Blockchain.info was
|
||||
[delisted](https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/pull/663) after a
|
||||
polite online discussion with its CEO. A period of 60 days was chosen,
|
||||
after which they may apply to be relisted.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Published wallet requirements:** a set of wallet requirements and
|
||||
guidelines [were
|
||||
discussed](https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/pull/670) and
|
||||
published, allowing wallet authors to evaluate for themselves whether
|
||||
their wallet would be a good fit for Bitcoin.org.
|
||||
|
||||
Saïvann Carignan spearheaded all the wallet efforts above, although we
|
||||
are also grateful to the many people who commented on the wallet issues
|
||||
and pull requests.
|
||||
|
||||
As Saïvann has become too busy to continue maintenance of the wallet
|
||||
section of the site, we are actively [looking for a
|
||||
volunteer](https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/issues/778) to take
|
||||
over reviewing wallets and managing wallet requirements. This is a great
|
||||
volunteer position for anyone who likes trying new wallets and who wants
|
||||
to interact directly with wallet authors.
|
||||

||||
|
||||
|
||||
## New Full Node Guide
|
||||
|
||||
> "Awesome, thanks for writing this down!" ---Andreas Schildbach on
|
||||
> GitHub
|
||||
> ([source](https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/pull/711#issuecomment-70187037))
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Fulfilling a [request made by Wladimir J. van der
|
||||
Laan](http://www.mail-archive.com/bitcoin-development%40lists.sourceforge.net/msg05406.html),
|
||||
Bitcoin Core's lead developer, we were proud to write and publish a
|
||||
[guide to running a full node](https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node) this
|
||||
quarter. The goal is to encourage users to run full nodes when possible
|
||||
to support the Bitcoin network.
|
||||
|
||||
As of February 28th, the full node guide has been published for only
|
||||
five days and has received over 4,000 page views.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Target multiple OSes:** initial instructions are provided for Ubuntu
|
||||
Desktop and Ubuntu Server, other Linux distributions (desktop or
|
||||
server), and Windows 7 (desktop only). New volunteers have [begun the
|
||||
process](https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/issues/763) of
|
||||
contributing Windows 8.1 instructions, and we are still looking for a
|
||||
Mac user to contribute OS X instructions.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Describe opening port 8333:** thanks to the core developers, running
|
||||
Bitcoin Core is easy. The hard part for some users is opening port
|
||||
8333, so we [provide detailed
|
||||
instructions](https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node#network-configuration)
|
||||
for just that aspect.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Detail risks:** feedback from a core developer encouraged us to make
|
||||
it clear that running a full node isn't always easy, so users who read
|
||||
our guide won't become demoralized and give up on running a full node
|
||||
forever the first time they encounter a problem.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Over 200 upvotes:** soon after release, the guide was submitted to
|
||||
Reddit where it received [over 200
|
||||
upvotes](http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2wvdko/new_page_on_bitcoinorg_running_a_full_node/)
|
||||
and a rare "98% upvoted" quality score.
|
||||
|
||||
The guide was primarily written by David A. Harding, with reviews by
|
||||
Saïvann Carignan and Jameson Lopp, and promotion also by Jameson.
|
||||
|
||||
## Website Improvements
|
||||
|
||||
> "Confirmed it works. Thanks a lot!" --Wladimir J. van der Laan on
|
||||
> GitHub about the updated Download page
|
||||
> ([source](https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/pull/664#issuecomment-74473907))
|
||||
|
||||
Sometimes small tweaks to the site can have a large impact. Some of the
|
||||
changes made this quarter include:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* **Bitcoin Core 0.10.0:** it is our privilege to help the
|
||||
core developers release new versions of Bitcoin Core by
|
||||
[updating](https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/pull/664) the
|
||||
[Download page](https://bitcoin.org/en/download) and the [hosted
|
||||
release notes.](https://bitcoin.org/en/version-history) For the
|
||||
0.10.0 release, we added a [torrent
|
||||
file](https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.10.0/bitcoin-0.10.0.torrent)
|
||||
and [magnet
|
||||
link](magnet:?xt=urn:btih:170c61fe09dafecfbb97cb4dccd32173383f4e68&dn=0.10.0&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3A80%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.publicbt.com%3A80%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.ccc.de%3A80%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.coppersurfer.tk%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.demonii.com%3A1337&ws=https%3A%2F%2Fbitcoin.org%2Fbin%2F)
|
||||
to help ensure availability of the files even if Bitcoin.org
|
||||
goes down.
|
||||
|
||||
The new torrent has been downloaded over 900 times and there are at
|
||||
least 44 active seeders as of February 28th.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Image optimization:** 83 SVG images were
|
||||
[optimized,](https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/pull/774) saving
|
||||
over 250 KB of disk space and a significant amount of bandwidth, as
|
||||
well as helping users on slow connections read the site more quickly.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Release ordering:** as the core developers plan to backport the
|
||||
BIP66 changes to older versions of Bitcoin Core, we've made sure the
|
||||
release notes on the site are ordered by version number rather than
|
||||
date so that we always recommend the highest version of Bitcoin Core
|
||||
to new users.
|
||||
|
||||
Saïvann Carignan wrote the code to enable the torrent and magnet links
|
||||
as well as sorting releases by version number. J. Louis optimized the
|
||||
SVG images.
|
||||
|
||||
## Server And Development Tools
|
||||
|
||||
> "I don't know what people are complaining about... I think it's pretty
|
||||
> great actually!" ---/u/itsgremlin on Reddit about Bitcoin.org in
|
||||
> general
|
||||
> ([source](http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2oessw/bitcoinorg_what_would_you_want_here/cmmg9r7))
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
With 7 million page views per quarter, Bitcoin.org serves an average of
|
||||
54 pages a minute---so even a single second of downtime might prevent us
|
||||
from helping a Bitcoin user. This quarter we took additional steps to
|
||||
ensure that the site works correctly while also attempting to make it
|
||||
easier for new volunteers to contribute to keeping the site accurate and
|
||||
updated.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Continuous integration:** each new pull request improving the site
|
||||
is now [automatically built using Travis
|
||||
CI](https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/pull/771), allowing
|
||||
contributors to quickly discover bugs in their code even if they don't
|
||||
compile the site themselves.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Troubleshooting:**
|
||||
[investigated](https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/issues/712) slow
|
||||
bandwidth issues with downloads.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Preventive maintenance:** mitigated DDoS attacks and made sure stats
|
||||
are not affected by attacks. Also set Content-Security-Policy policies
|
||||
against XSS attacks.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Guide volunteers:** [added a
|
||||
list](https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/pull/742) of [suggestions
|
||||
for new
|
||||
contributors](https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org#how-to-participate)
|
||||
so they can dive in immediately.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Audits:** wrote an automated script that will send an alert when
|
||||
sensitive parts of the site are changed or when Bitcoin Core downloads
|
||||
are missing correct signatures.
|
||||
|
||||
Travis CI support was added by David A. Harding with advice and support
|
||||
from Cory Fields, Wladimir J. van der Laan, and Pieter Wuille.
|
||||
Troubleshooting was performed by Saïvann Carignan with the help of
|
||||
GitHub user @patrikr, Christopher Gurnee, and David. Preventative
|
||||
maintenance and audit code were contributions by Saïvann, and the
|
||||
volunteer quick start guide was contributed by David.

## Next Quarter's Goals
|
||||
|
||||
> "I'm running a full node (~20 connections) with Bitcoin Core Version
|
||||
> v0.10.0rc1 (64-Bit) on Windows 8.1 and willing to help out!"\
|
||||
> ---Volunteer on GitHub for the Full Node page
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
In addition to Bitcoin.org's recurring goals, such as funding the
|
||||
servers (currently about $600 USD per month), we hope to accomplish the
|
||||
following three major goals during the next quarter:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **New wallet maintainer:** we're [seeking a
|
||||
volunteer](https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/issues/778) to
|
||||
review new wallets for inclusion on the Choose Your Wallet page, as
|
||||
well as to monitor existing wallets for problems and to propose new
|
||||
criteria that allow us to only recommend the very best wallets.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **New developer documentation:** the developer documentation is
|
||||
currently 250 printed pages long, and on May 24th it will celebrate
|
||||
its [one-year
|
||||
anniversary](https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/pull/393#issuecomment-44089996)
|
||||
on Bitcoin.org. In the upcoming quarter we plan to add about 50 more
|
||||
printed pages worth of content, including:
|
||||
|
||||
* A [glossary/vocabulary
|
||||
page](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/bitcoin-documentation/s_mL1syxYoQ)
|
||||
providing definitions for the over 150 specialized terms and
|
||||
synonyms used in Bitcoin development
|
||||
|
||||
* Documentation for at least the most common opcodes, and possibly
|
||||
all the enabled opcodes. This section will be essentially a more
|
||||
detailed version of the [Bitcoin Wiki script
|
||||
page](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Script)
|
||||
|
||||
* [Improved type
|
||||
information](https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/pull/753) in
|
||||
the RPC and REST sections, as
|
||||
[requested](http://www.mail-archive.com/bitcoin-development@lists.sourceforge.net/msg07069.html)
|
||||
by Ocaml-Bitcoin developer Dario Teixeira.
|
||||
|
||||
* Substantially revising and expanding the [current wallet
|
||||
section](https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-guide#wallets), likely
|
||||
leading to a new section focused on ECDSA keys and signatures.
|
||||
|
||||
* Continuing to expand the [overview of the Bitcoin P2P
|
||||
protocol](https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-guide#p2p-network).
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Better volunteer resources:** we want to make it easier for
|
||||
community members to volunteer to contribute to Bitcoin.org in ways
|
||||
both small and large. New documentation about site procedures is
|
||||
forthcoming and we will be looking for other ways to encourage and
|
||||
simplify first-time contributions.
|
||||
|
||||

|

|
||||
*Thanks to [our
|
||||
volunteers](https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/graphs/contributors?from=2015-03-01&to=2015-03-31&type=c)
|
||||
and the financial sponsorship of [The Bitcoin
|
||||
Foundation](https://bitcoinfoundation.org/), we made the following
|
||||
accomplishments this month.*
|
||||
|
||||
* **No more broken links:** all internal links on Bitcoin.org's 834 pages
|
||||
are now automatically checked by [HTML Proofer][] through our [Travis
|
||||
Continuous Integration (CI)][] infrastructure. We plan to enable HTML
|
||||
Proofer's HTML validation subroutine in the future to provide even
|
||||
better quality assurance. Thanks to HTML Proofer author [Garen
|
||||
Torikian][] for writing such a great tool!
|
||||
|
||||
* **Coinapult wallet** was briefly removed from the Bitcoin.org [Choose Your
|
||||
Wallet][] page after they suffered a security breach. After restoring
|
||||
full services to their customers and assuring us that customer
|
||||
deposits are safe, we re-added them.
|
||||
|
||||
* **KnC wallet** has been removed from the Choose Your Wallet page after
|
||||
multiple issues, including an abandoned website, no new commits to
|
||||
[their codebase][] in several months, and reports that their iOS app
|
||||
no longer worked. (In positive news, we have received reports that it
|
||||
is still possible to recover funds from the wallet seed.)
|
||||
|
||||
* **Translations** were updated thanks to translation volunteers on
|
||||
[Transifex][].
|
||||
|
||||
* **Seven new events** were added. Please check the [Events page][] to see
|
||||
whether there are any interesting Bitcoin meetups or conferences in
|
||||
your area.
|
||||
|
||||
* **New pages & features:** a [developer documentation][] glossary
|
||||
section and Javascript-based search engine were [proposed][] but not
|
||||
quite finished by the end of the month.
|
||||
|
||||
## Site Traffic
|
||||
|
||||
According to or [website statistics][], 4.3 million people visited the
|
||||
website in March. However, as seen in the illustration below, there was
|
||||
a suspicious spike in visits that look like a possible attempt at
|
||||
[referer spam][] (even though we don't publish referer information).
|
||||
Almost all of the suspicious traffic was directed at the Spanish, Dutch,
|
||||
and French Bitcoin.org home pages, leaving statistics for the rest of
|
||||
the site fairly accurate.
|
||||
|
||||
We suspect the accurate number of unique visitors in March was around
|
||||
2.0 million, roughly the same as in February.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Notable traffic patterns this month included:
|
||||
|
||||
* The [Full Node Guide][] first released last month received over 8,000
|
||||
page views, a surprisingly high number for a new technical document.
|
||||
Hopefully this is a sign that users really want to run full nodes for
|
||||
themselves.
|
||||
|
||||
* The [Choose Your Wallet page][] continues to receive over 130,000 page
|
||||
views a month, as it keeps on trying to help novice users choose
|
||||
their first Bitcoin wallet.
|
||||
|
||||
* The [Bitcoin Core Download page][] has just as many page views as it
|
||||
did last month (75,000) when Bitcoin Core 0.10.0 was released. If you
|
||||
haven't upgraded yet to get new features like [headers-first block
|
||||
sync][] and [lower vulnerability to OpenSSL code changes][], take some
|
||||
time to read the [0.10.0 release notes][] to see what you're missing.
|
||||
|
||||
## Thank You Volunteers!
|
||||
|
||||
Special thanks to the 19 volunteers who contributed and commented
|
||||

|

|
||||
*Thanks to [several volunteers][] and the financial sponsorship of [The
|
||||
Bitcoin Foundation][], we've added two major new features to the
|
||||
[Bitcoin.org Developer Documentation][].*
|
||||
|
||||
A new [glossary section][] has been added to the Bitcoin.org Developer
|
||||
Documentation, and with it comes a fully-Javascript search engine that
|
||||
helps you look up glossary entries, Bitcoin Core RPCs, Bitcoin BIPs,
|
||||
Script-language opcodes, and Bitcoin P2P protocol messages.
|
||||
|
||||
## Developer glossary main page
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The glossary main page provides a search box and a sorted list of terms.
|
||||
It uses a floating list so that it looks good on both mobiles and
|
||||
desktop/laptop screens.
|
||||
|
||||
A link is provided at the bottom of the page to allow readers to
|
||||
recommend new glossary terms. (It works like the Submit New Event link
|
||||
on the [Events page][].)
|
||||
|
||||
### Glossary entries
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Each glossary entry has its own page providing a short definition
|
||||
(limited to 255 characters), one or more synonyms, zero or more "not to
|
||||
be confused with" terms, and zero or more links to resources on and off
|
||||
Bitcoin.org. Separate pages were used to allow search engines to link
|
||||
directly to the most relevant entry, rather than forcing users to scroll
|
||||
through a giant page of definitions.
|
||||
|
||||
The glossary currently has:
|
||||
|
||||
* 89 glossary entry pages
|
||||
* 51 additional synonyms
|
||||
* 222 links (all internal to Bitcoin.org or to Bitcoin Wiki, BitcoinTalk, or Bitcoin StackExchange)
|
||||
|
||||
Each page includes links to edit it, view its history, or report an
|
||||
issue about it.
|
||||
|
||||
### Dev search box
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
A Javascript-powered search box is added to the following pages: [Dev
|
||||
Guide][], [Dev Reference][], [Dev Examples][], [Dev Glossary][], and individual
|
||||
glossary entry pages.
|
||||
|
||||
The box allows finding the following by keyword, listed in the order
|
||||
they appear in the search:
|
||||
|
||||
* Glossary entries (Bitcoin.org)
|
||||
* RPCs (Bitcoin.org)
|
||||
* Opcodes (Bitcoin Wiki)
|
||||
* BIPs (just notable and non-withdrawn BIPs; GitHub.com BIPs repo)
|
||||
* Bitcoin P2P protocol messages (Bitcoin.org)
|
||||
|
||||
The search uses [JQuery][] and [JQuery UI][], both MIT-licensed. Both are
|
||||
loaded from the Bitcoin.org server so there's no stats leakage when
|
||||
people load them.

title: "Bitcoin.org Hard Fork Policy"
|
||||
permalink: /en/posts/hard-fork-policy.html
|
||||
date: 2015-06-16
|
||||
---
|
||||
Contentious hard forks are bad for Bitcoin. At the very best, a
|
||||
contentious hard fork will leave people who chose the losing side of the
|
||||
fork feeling disenfranchised. At the very worst, it will make bitcoins
|
||||
permanently lose their value. In between are many possible outcomes, but
|
||||
none of them are good.
|
||||
|
||||
The danger of a contentious hard fork is potentially so significant
|
||||
that Bitcoin.org has decided to adopt a new policy:
|
||||
|
||||
> Bitcoin.org will not promote software or services that will leave the
|
||||
> previous consensus because of an intentional and contentious hard fork attempt.
|
||||
|
||||
This policy applies to full node software, such as Bitcoin Core,
|
||||
software forks of Bitcoin Core, and alternative full node
|
||||
implementations.
|
||||
|
||||
It also applies to wallets and services that have the ability to detect
|
||||
the contentious hard fork, and which release code or make announcements
|
||||
indicating that they will cease operating on the side of the previous
|
||||
consensus.
|
||||
It does not apply to software that cannot detect the contentious hard
|
||||
fork and which continues doing whatever it would've done anyway.
|
||||
|
||||
To be clear, we encourage wallet authors and service providers to offer
|
||||
their opinions on hard fork proposals, and we will not penalize anyone
|
||||
for contributing to a discussion. We will only stop promoting particular
|
||||
wallets and services if they plan to move their users onto a
|
||||
contentious hard fork by default.

Bitcoin.org has moved our main git repository to the new
|
||||
*bitcoin-dot-org* GitHub organization:
|
||||
<https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org>
|
||||
|
||||
We moved to an independent organization to make clear that Bitcoin.org
|
||||
and Bitcoin Core are separate projects, even though we frequently have
|
||||
the pleasure of working together.
|
||||
|
||||
Nothing besides the repository URL has changed---Bitcoin.org will
|
||||
continue to provide all of the same information and resources as it did
|
||||
before. The [team of contributors][] is also staying the same.
|
||||
|
||||
Existing links to the old repository (including developer git
|
||||
configurations) should continue to work, but we that suggest you upgrade
|
||||
them to point to the new repository at your first convenience. Git users
|
||||
can who have the Bitcoin.org repository as their `upstream` can run,
|
||||
|
||||
cd bitcoin.org
|
||||
git remote set-url upstream 'https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org'
|
||||
|
||||
All current [issues][] and [pull requests][] remain open, and any [forks hosted
|
||||
on GitHub][] shouldn't need to be updated.
|

Bitcoin.org is proud to announce the addition of a dozen new pages to
|
||||
the site about [Bitcoin Core][]. Several of the pages describe [Bitcoin
|
||||
Core's powerful features][], others [provide help][] for Bitcoin Core
|
||||
users, and several make it easier to [start contributing][] to
|
||||
Bitcoin Core.

*Excerpts from Bitcoin.org's <a href="/en/bitcoin-core/">Bitcoin Core</a> pages*
|
||||
|

Both Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin.org have come a long way since the site
|
||||
began promoting the earliest public versions of the software.

||||

|
||||
*Bitcoin.org homepage, 3 March 2009 ([Internet Archive][])*
|
||||
|
||||
These new pages give us a chance to introduce more recent Bitcoin users
|
||||
to the advantages of full nodes like Bitcoin Core, particularly how full
|
||||
validation [helps protect Bitcoin's essential decentralization][] from
|
||||
takeover by a handful of miners, Bitcoin banks, and service providers.
|
||||
|
||||
## A Brief Guide to The New Pages
|
||||
|
||||
- [Bitcoin Core overview][]: provides a brief description of Bitcoin
|
||||
Core and links to the other sections of the sub-site.
|
||||
|
||||
- [Feature overview][]: briefly describes some of Bitcoin Core's
|
||||
leading benefits and links to pages that provide more details.
|
||||
|
||||
- [Get help page][]: resources to help Bitcoin Core users find help.
|
||||
Prior to this PR, we also created and filled a category on the Bitcoin
|
||||
Wiki with all the existing [Bitcoin Core help pages][].
|
||||
|
||||
- [Contribute overview][]: links to ways you can directly contribute to
|
||||
Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Core users.
|
||||
|
||||
## Future Plans
|
||||
|
||||
We plan to enhance this new section of the Bitcoin.org website by
|
||||
collecting together some of Bitcoin Core's disparate documentation and
|
||||
providing instructions for important ways users can enhance their privacy and
|
||||
security while using Bitcoin Core—such as using Tor and an offline
|
||||
wallet.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition, we hope to provide more resources that help businesses
|
||||
understand the benefits of validating the transactions they receive with
|
||||
their own full nodes.
|
||||
|
||||

Updated instructions for [how to run a full node](https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node)
|
||||
as of version **0.13.1** are now available on Bitcoin.org. These instructions allow
|
||||
one to quickly get set up and running with a full node on the following
|
||||
operating systems:
|
||||
|
||||
- [Linux](https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node#linux-instructions)
|
||||
|
||||
- [MacOS](https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node#mac-os-x-instructions)
|
||||
|
||||
- [Windows](https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node#windows-instructions)
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to the above operating systems, tips on [how to configure a full
|
||||
bitcoin node for a local area network](https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node#network-configuration)
|
||||
and [how to tweak the reference client configuration](https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node#configuration-tuning)
|
||||
are available.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why is running a full bitcoin node important?
|
||||
Full nodes help enforce the consensus rules of the Bitcoin network. When a full
|
||||
node client is running, it downloads every new block and every new transaction
|
||||
and checks them to make sure they are valid. Here are some examples of consensus
|
||||
rules, though there are many more:
|
||||
|
||||
- Blocks may only [create](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Controlled_supply) a
|
||||
certain number of bitcoins.
|
||||
|
||||
- Transactions must have correct signatures for the bitcoins being spent.
|
||||
|
||||
- Transactions/blocks must be in the correct data format.
|
||||
|
||||
- Within the [block chain](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Block_chain), a transaction
|
||||
output cannot be double-spent.
|
||||
|
||||
*Read more about what a full node is, the consensus rules above and other
|
||||
incentives for supporting the network in the [Bitcoin Wiki](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Full_node).*
|
||||
|
||||
## Minimum Requirements
|
||||
Bitcoin Core full nodes have certain requirements. If you try running a node on
|
||||
weak hardware, it may work — but you’ll likely spend more time dealing with
|
||||
issues. If you can meet the following requirements, you’ll have an easy-to-use
|
||||
node.
|
||||
|
||||
- Desktop or laptop hardware running recent versions of Windows, Mac OS X, or
|
||||
Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
- 125GB of free disk space (size of the blockchain plus room to grow)
|
||||
|
||||
- 2GB of memory (RAM)
|
||||
|
||||
- A broadband Internet connection with upload speeds of at least 400 kilobits
|
||||
(50 kilobytes) per second
|
||||
|
||||
- An unmetered connection, a connection with high upload limits, or a connection
|
||||
you regularly monitor to ensure it doesn’t exceed its upload limits. It’s
|
||||
common for full nodes on high-speed connections to use 200GB in uploads or more
|
||||
a month. Download usage is around 20GB/month, plus around an additional 100GB
|
||||
the first time you start your node.
|
||||
|
||||
- 6 hours/day that your full node can be left running. (You can do other things
|
||||
with your computer while running a full node.) More hours would be better, and
|
||||
best of all would be if you can run your node continuously.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** many operating systems today (Windows, Mac, and Linux) enter a low-power
|
||||
mode after the screensaver activates, slowing or halting network traffic. This
|
||||
is often the default setting on laptops and on all Mac OS X laptops and
|
||||
desktops. Check your screensaver settings and disable automatic “sleep” or
|
||||
“suspend” options to ensure you support the network whenever your computer is
|
||||
running.
|
||||
|
||||
## What to do if you need help
|
||||
Please seek out assistance in the [community](https://bitcoin.org/en/community)
|
||||
if you need help setting up your full node correctly to handle high-value and
|
||||
privacy-sensitive tasks. Do your own diligence to ensure who you get help from
|
||||
is ethical, reputable and qualified to assist you.

[A directory of Bitcoin Exchanges servicing the world’s 20 largest
|
||||
economies](https://bitcoin.org/en/exchanges), as well as several international
|
||||
options (serving many countries) are now available on Bitcoin.org.
|
||||
|
||||
## Helping People Interested in Bitcoin, Get Bitcoin
|
||||
This new addition to the site:
|
||||
|
||||
- Links to the `Find an Exchange` button on the [Getting Started](https://bitcoin.org/en/getting-started)
|
||||
page and helps many of the new people entering the Bitcoin ecosystem via
|
||||
Bitcoin.org, get bitcoin.
|
||||
- Improves SEO for Bitcoin.org, because the site can now potentially rank very
|
||||
well for “Bitcoin Exchange” as well as other key phrases that include country
|
||||
names that are contained on the page (i.e. Bitcoin Exchange China, Bitcoin
|
||||
Exchange India, etc.).
|
||||
- Has unique anchor links for each country that people can share on social media
|
||||
that will allow others to find the bitcoin exchanges that are available for
|
||||
their specific country.
|
||||
- Allows Bitcoin.org to focus the [wallets page](https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet)
|
||||
on wallets that allow people to maintain full control over their funds
|
||||
(Resolving [issue #1109](https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/issues/1109),
|
||||
because custodial wallets that provide exchange services can be moved off of the
|
||||
wallets page to this new page).
|
||||
- Is also accessible via the Resources `dropdown` menu.
|
||||
|
||||
## Questions, Comments & Feedback
|
||||
Questions, issues, suggestions or feedback are always welcome on Bitcoin.org. If
|
||||
interested in contributing in this regard, please open an issue or submit a pull
|
||||
request.
|
||||
|
||||
## Use Discretion when Choosing an Exchange
|
||||
As noted in the above screen shot, Bitcoin Exchanges provide varying degrees of
|
||||
safety, security, privacy, and control over your funds and information. Perform
|
||||
your own due diligence and choose a wallet where you will keep your bitcoin
|
||||
before selecting an exchange.

title: "Bitcoin Core Version 0.14.0 Released"

[Bitcoin Core version 0.14.0 is now available](https://bitcoin.org/en/download).
|
||||
|
||||
This is a new major version release, including new features, various bugfixes
|
||||
and performance improvements, as well as updated translations.
|
||||
|
||||
Please report bugs using the [issue tracker on GitHub](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues).
|
||||
|
||||
[Subscribe here](https://bitcoincore.org/en/list/announcements/join/) to receive
|
||||
security and update notifications.
|
||||
|
||||
## 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](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues).
|
||||
|
||||
Bitcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not
|
||||
frequently tested on them.
|
||||
|
||||
## Notable changes
|
||||
|
||||
### Performance Improvements
|
||||
|
||||
Validation speed and network propagation performance have been greatly
|
||||
improved, leading to much shorter sync and initial block download times.
|
||||
|
||||
- The script signature cache has been reimplemented as a "cuckoo cache",
|
||||
allowing for more signatures to be cached and faster lookups.
|
||||
- Assumed-valid blocks have been introduced which allows script validation to
|
||||
be skipped for ancestors of known-good blocks, without changing the security
|
||||
model. See below for more details.
|
||||
- In some cases, compact blocks are now relayed before being fully validated as
|
||||
per BIP152.
|
||||
- P2P networking has been refactored with a focus on concurrency and
|
||||
throughput. Network operations are no longer bottlenecked by validation. As a
|
||||
result, block fetching is several times faster than previous releases in many
|
||||
cases.
|
||||
- The UTXO cache now claims unused mempool memory. This speeds up initial block
|
||||
download as UTXO lookups are a major bottleneck there, and there is no use for
|
||||
the mempool at that stage.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Manual Pruning
|
||||
|
||||
Bitcoin Core has supported automatically pruning the blockchain since 0.11.
|
||||
Pruning the blockchain allows for significant storage space savings as the vast
|
||||
majority of the downloaded data can be discarded after processing so very little
|
||||
of it remains on the disk.
|
||||
|
||||
Manual block pruning can now be enabled by setting `-prune=1`. Once that is set,
|
||||
the RPC command `pruneblockchain` can be used to prune the blockchain up to the
|
||||
specified height or timestamp.
|
||||
|
||||
### `getinfo` has been deprecated
|
||||
|
||||
The `getinfo` RPC command has been deprecated. Each field in the RPC call
|
||||
has been moved to another command's output with that command also giving
|
||||
additional information that `getinfo` did not provide. The following table
|
||||
shows where each field has been moved to:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### ZMQ On Windows
|
||||
|
||||
Previously the ZeroMQ notification system was unavailable on Windows
|
||||
due to various issues with ZMQ. These have been fixed upstream and
|
||||
now ZMQ can be used on Windows. Please see [this
|
||||
document](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/zmq.md) for
|
||||
help with using ZMQ in general.
|
||||
|
||||
### Nested RPC Commands in Debug Console
|
||||
|
||||
The ability to nest RPC commands has been added to the debug console. This
|
||||
allows users to have the output of a command become the input to another
|
||||
command without running the commands separately.
|
||||
|
||||
The nested RPC commands use bracket syntax (i.e. `getwalletinfo()`) and can be
|
||||
nested (i.e. `getblock(getblockhash(1))`). Simple queries can be done with
|
||||
square brackets where object values are accessed with either an array index or a
|
||||
non-quoted string. Both commas and spaces can be
|
||||
used to separate parameters in both the bracket syntax and normal RPC command
|
||||
syntax.
|
||||
|
||||
### Network Activity Toggle
|
||||
|
||||
A RPC command and GUI toggle have been added to enable or disable all p2p
|
||||
network activity. The network status icon in the bottom right hand corner
|
||||
is now the GUI toggle. Clicking the icon will either enable or disable all
|
||||
p2p network activity. If network activity is disabled, the icon will
|
||||
be grayed out with an X on top of it.
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally the `setnetworkactive` RPC command has been added which does
|
||||
the same thing as the GUI icon. The command takes one boolean parameter,
|
||||
`true` enables networking and `false` disables it.
|
||||
|
||||
### Out-of-sync Modal Info Layer
|
||||
|
||||
When Bitcoin Core is out-of-sync on startup, a semi-transparent information
|
||||
layer will be shown over top of the normal display. This layer contains
|
||||
details about the current sync progress and estimates the amount of time
|
||||
remaining to finish syncing. This layer can also be hidden and subsequently
|
||||
unhidden by clicking on the progress bar at the bottom of the window.
|
||||
|
||||
### Support for JSON-RPC Named Arguments
|
||||
|
||||
Commands sent over the JSON-RPC interface and through the `bitcoin-cli` binary
|
||||
can now use named arguments. This follows the [JSON-RPC specification](http://www.jsonrpc.org/specification)
|
||||
for passing parameters by-name with an object.
|
||||
|
||||
`bitcoin-cli` has been updated to support this by parsing `name=value` arguments
|
||||
when the `-named` option is given.
|
||||
|
||||
Some examples:
|
||||
|
||||
`src/bitcoin-cli -named help command="help"`
|
||||
`src/bitcoin-cli -named getblockhash height=0`
|
||||
`src/bitcoin-cli -named getblock blockhash=000000000019d6689c085ae165831e934...`
|
||||
`src/bitcoin-cli -named sendtoaddress address="(snip)" amount="1.0" subtractfeefromamount=true`
|
||||
|
||||
The order of arguments doesn't matter in this case. Named arguments are also
|
||||
useful to leave out arguments that should stay at their default value. The
|
||||
rarely-used arguments `comment` and `comment_to` to `sendtoaddress`, for
|
||||
example, can be left out. However, this is not yet implemented for many RPC
|
||||
calls, this is expected to land in a later release.
|
||||
|
||||
The RPC server remains fully backwards compatible with positional arguments.
|
||||
|
||||
### Opt into RBF When Sending
|
||||
|
||||
A new startup option, `-walletrbf`, has been added to allow users to have all
|
||||
transactions sent opt into RBF support. The default value for this option is
|
||||
currently `false`, so transactions will not opt into RBF by default. The new
|
||||
`bumpfee` RPC can be used to replace transactions that opt into RBF.
|
||||
|
||||
### Sensitive Data Is No Longer Stored In Debug Console History
|
||||
|
||||
The debug console maintains a history of previously entered commands that can be
|
||||
accessed by pressing the Up-arrow key so that users can easily reuse previously
|
||||
entered commands. Commands which have sensitive information such as passphrases
|
||||
and private keys will now have a `(...)` in place of the parameters when
|
||||
accessed through the history.
|
||||
|
||||
### Retaining the Mempool Across Restarts
|
||||
|
||||
The mempool will be saved to the data directory prior to shutdown to a
|
||||
`mempool.dat` file. This file preserves the mempool so that when the node
|
||||
restarts the mempool can be filled with transactions without waiting for new
|
||||
transactions to be created. This will also preserve any changes made to a
|
||||
transaction through commands such as `prioritisetransaction` so that those
|
||||
changes will not be lost.
|
||||
|
||||
### Final Alert
|
||||
|
||||
The Alert System was [disabled and deprecated](https://bitcoin.org/en/alert/2016-11-01-alert-retirement)
|
||||
in Bitcoin Core 0.12.1 and removed in 0.13.0. The Alert System was retired with
|
||||
a maximum sequence final alert which causes any nodes supporting the Alert
|
||||
System to display a static hard-coded "Alert Key Compromised" message which also
|
||||
prevents any other alerts from overriding it. This final alert is hard-coded
|
||||
into this release so that all old nodes receive the final alert.
|
||||
|
||||
### GUI Changes
|
||||
|
||||
- After resetting the options by clicking the `Reset Options` button
|
||||
in the options dialog or with the `-resetguioptions` startup option,
|
||||
the user will be prompted to choose the data directory again. This
|
||||
is to ensure that custom data directories will be kept after the
|
||||
option reset which clears the custom data directory set via the choose
|
||||
datadir dialog.
|
||||
- Multiple peers can now be selected in the list of peers in the debug
|
||||
window. This allows for users to ban or disconnect multiple peers
|
||||
simultaneously instead of banning them one at a time.
|
||||
- An indicator has been added to the bottom right hand corner of the main
|
||||
window to indicate whether the wallet being used is a HD wallet. This
|
||||
icon will be grayed out with an X on top of it if the wallet is not a
|
||||
HD wallet.
|
||||
|
||||
### Low-level RPC changes
|
||||
|
||||
- `importprunedfunds` only accepts two required arguments. Some versions accept
|
||||
an optional third arg, which was always ignored. Make sure to never pass more
|
||||
than two arguments.
|
||||
- The first boolean argument to `getaddednodeinfo` has been removed. This is
|
||||
an incompatible change.
|
||||
- RPC command `getmininginfo` loses the "testnet" field in favor of the more
|
||||
generic "chain" (which has been present for years).
|
||||
- A new RPC command `preciousblock` has been added which marks a block as
|
||||
precious. A precious block will be treated as if it were received earlier
|
||||
than a competing block.
|
||||
- A new RPC command `importmulti` has been added which receives an array of
|
||||
JSON objects representing the intention of importing a public key, a
|
||||
private key, an address and script/p2sh
|
||||
- Use of `getrawtransaction` for retrieving confirmed transactions with unspent
|
||||
outputs has been deprecated. For now this will still work, but in the future
|
||||
it may change to only be able to retrieve information about transactions in
|
||||
the mempool or if `txindex` is enabled.
|
||||
- A new RPC command `getmemoryinfo` has been added which will return
|
||||
information
|
||||
about the memory usage of Bitcoin Core. This was added in conjunction with
|
||||
optimizations to memory management. See [Pull #8753](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8753)
|
||||
for more information.

||||
- A new RPC command `bumpfee` has been added which allows replacing an
|
||||
unconfirmed wallet transaction that signaled RBF (see the `-walletrbf`
|
||||
startup option above) with a new transaction that pays a higher fee, and
|
||||
should be more likely to get confirmed quickly.
|
||||
|
||||
### HTTP REST Changes
|
||||
|
||||
- UTXO set query responses were changed to return status code `HTTP_BAD_REQUEST`
|
||||
(400) instead of `HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR` (500) when requests contain
|
||||
invalid parameters.
|
||||
|
||||
### Minimum Fee Rate Policies
|
||||
|
||||
Since the changes in 0.12 to automatically limit the size of the mempool and
|
||||
improve the performance of block creation in mining code it has not been
|
||||
important for relay nodes or miners to set `-minrelaytxfee`. With this release
|
||||
the following concepts that were tied to this option have been separated out:
|
||||
|
||||
- incremental relay fee used for calculating BIP 125 replacement and mempool
|
||||
limiting. (1000 satoshis/kB)
|
||||
- calculation of threshold for a dust output. (effectively 3 * 1000 satoshis/kB)
|
||||
- minimum fee rate of a package of transactions to be included in a block
|
||||
created by the mining code. If miners wish to set this minimum they can use
|
||||
the new `-blockmintxfee` option. (defaults to 1000 satoshis/kB)
|
||||
|
||||
The `-minrelaytxfee` option continues to exist but is recommended to be left
|
||||
unset.
|
||||
|
||||
### Fee Estimation Changes
|
||||
|
||||
- Since 0.13.2 fee estimation for a confirmation target of 1 block has been
|
||||
disabled. The fee slider will no longer be able to choose a target of 1 block.
|
||||
This is only a minor behavior change as there was often insufficient
|
||||
data for this target anyway. `estimatefee 1` will now always return -1 and
|
||||
`estimatesmartfee 1` will start searching at a target of 2.
|
||||
|
||||
- The default target for fee estimation is changed to 6 blocks in both the GUI
|
||||
(previously 25) and for RPC calls (previously 2).
|
||||
|
||||
### Removal of Priority Estimation
|
||||
|
||||
- Estimation of "priority" needed for a transaction to be included within a
|
||||
target
|
||||
number of blocks has been removed. The RPC calls are deprecated and will
|
||||
either
|
||||
return -1 or 1e24 appropriately. The format for `fee_estimates.dat` has also
|
||||
changed to no longer save these priority estimates. It will automatically be
|
||||
converted to the new format which is not readable by prior versions of the
|
||||
software.
|
||||
|
||||
- Support for "priority" (coin age) transaction sorting for mining is
|
||||
considered deprecated in Core and will be removed in the next major version.
|
||||
This is not to be confused with the `prioritisetransaction` RPC which will
|
||||
remain
|
||||
supported by Core for adding fee deltas to transactions.
|
||||
|
||||
### P2P connection management
|
||||
|
||||
- Peers manually added through the `-addnode` option or `addnode` RPC now have
|
||||
their own
|
||||
limit of eight connections which does not compete with other inbound or
|
||||
outbound
|
||||
connection usage and is not subject to the limitation imposed by the
|
||||
`-maxconnections`
|
||||
option.
|
||||
|
||||
- New connections to manually added peers are performed more quickly.
|
||||
|
||||
### Introduction of assumed-valid blocks
|
||||
|
||||
- A significant portion of the initial block download time is spent verifying
|
||||
scripts/signatures. Although the verification must pass to ensure the
|
||||
security
|
||||
of the system, no other result from this verification is needed: If the node
|
||||
knew the history of a given block were valid it could skip checking scripts
|
||||
for its ancestors.
|
||||
|
||||
- A new configuration option 'assumevalid' is provided to express this knowledge
|
||||
to the software. Unlike the 'checkpoints' in the past this setting does not
|
||||
force the use of a particular chain: chains that are consistent with it are
|
||||
processed quicker, but other chains are still accepted if they'd otherwise
|
||||
be chosen as best. Also unlike 'checkpoints' the user can configure which
|
||||
block history is assumed true, this means that even outdated software can
|
||||
sync more quickly if the setting is updated by the user.
|
||||
|
||||
- Because the validity of a chain history is a simple objective fact it is much
|
||||
easier to review this setting. As a result the software ships with a default
|
||||
value adjusted to match the current chain shortly before release. The use
|
||||
of this default value can be disabled by setting -assumevalid=0
|
||||
|
||||
### Fundrawtransaction change address reuse
|
||||
|
||||
- Before 0.14, `fundrawtransaction` was by default wallet stateless. In
|
||||
almost all cases `fundrawtransaction` does add a change-output to the
|
||||
outputs of the funded transaction. Before 0.14, the used keypool key was
|
||||
never marked as change-address key and directly returned to the keypool
|
||||
(leading to address reuse). Before 0.14, calling `getnewaddress`
|
||||
directly after `fundrawtransaction` did generate the same address as
|
||||
the change-output address.
|
||||
|
||||
- Since 0.14, fundrawtransaction does reserve the change-output-key from
|
||||
the keypool by default (optional by setting `reserveChangeKey`, default =
|
||||
`true`)
|
||||
|
||||
- Users should also consider using `getrawchangeaddress()` in conjunction
|
||||
with `fundrawtransaction`'s `changeAddress` option.
|
||||
|
||||
### Unused mempool memory used by coincache
|
||||
|
||||
- Before 0.14, memory reserved for mempool (using the `-maxmempool` option)
|
||||
went unused during initial block download, or IBD. In 0.14, the UTXO DB cache
|
||||
(controlled with the `-dbcache` option) borrows memory from the mempool
|
||||
when there is extra memory available. This may result in an increase in
|
||||
memory usage during IBD for those previously relying on only the `-dbcache`
|
||||
option to limit memory during that time.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
[Bitcoin Core version 0.14.1 is now available](https://bitcoin.org/en/download).
|
||||
|
||||
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 on GitHub](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues).
|
||||
|
||||
[Subscribe here](https://bitcoincore.org/en/list/announcements/join/) to receive
|
||||
security and update notifications.
|
||||
|
||||
## 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](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues).
|
||||
|
||||
Bitcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not
|
||||
frequently tested on them.
|
||||
|
||||
## Notable changes
|
||||
|
||||
### RPC changes
|
||||
|
||||
- The first positional argument of `createrawtransaction` was renamed from
|
||||
`transactions` to `inputs`.
|
||||
- The argument of `disconnectnode` was renamed from `node` to `address`.
|
||||
|
||||
These interface changes break compatibility with 0.14.0, when the named
|
||||
arguments functionality, introduced in 0.14.0, is used. Client software
|
||||
using these calls with named arguments needs to be updated.
|
||||
|
||||
### Mining
|
||||
|
||||
In previous versions, getblocktemplate required segwit support from downstream
|
||||
clients/miners once the feature activated on the network. In this version, it
|
||||
now supports non-segwit clients even after activation, by removing all segwit
|
||||
transactions from the returned block template. This allows non-segwit miners to
|
||||
continue functioning correctly even after segwit has activated.
|
||||
|
||||
Due to the limitations in previous versions, getblocktemplate also recommended
|
||||
non-segwit clients to not signal for the segwit version-bit. Since this is no
|
||||
longer an issue, getblocktemplate now always recommends signalling segwit for
|
||||
all miners. This is safe because ability to enforce the rule is the only
|
||||
required criteria for safe activation, not actually producing segwit-enabled
|
||||
blocks.
|
||||
|
||||
### UTXO memory accounting
|
||||
|
||||
Memory usage for the UTXO cache is being calculated more accurately, so that
|
||||
the configured limit (`-dbcache`) will be respected when memory usage peaks
|
||||
during cache flushes. The memory accounting in prior releases is estimated to
|
||||
only account for half the actual peak utilization.
|
||||
|
||||
The default `-dbcache` has also been changed in this release to 450MiB. Users
|
||||
who currently set `-dbcache` to a high value (e.g. to keep the UTXO more fully
|
||||
cached in memory) should consider increasing this setting in order to achieve
|
||||
the same cache performance as prior releases. Users on low-memory systems
|
||||
(such as systems with 1GB or less) should consider specifying a lower value for
|
||||
this parameter.
|
||||
|
||||
Additional information relating to running on low-memory systems can be found
|
||||
here:
|
||||
[reducing-bitcoind-memory-usage.md](https://gist.github.com/laanwj/efe29c7661ce9b6620a7).

|
||||
|
||||
## 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
|
||||
|
||||
Detailed release notes follow. This overview includes changes that affect
|
||||
behavior, not code moves, refactors and string updates. For convenience in locating
