is there something in 0.20.0 -> 0.20.1 that would cause it to redownload the blockchain? trying to figure out why it's doing that after I upgraded my kernel+bitcoin. no configs changed ...

< sipa>
in that case, you're asking about proposal bitcoin protocol changes, not bitcoin core
< sipa>
yanmaani: the current bitcoin protocol does not permit compact proofs for that
< yanmaani>
is txn noninclusion proofs something bitcoin core intends to include?
< shesek>
right, my claim was that the SPV model isn't all that important, and that if Satoshi released Bitcoin without considering light clients at all it would still be the incredible breakthrough that it is
< sipa>
yeah, for a full-blocks-only bitcoin like protocol, the "merkle root" stored in the block header could just be a flat hash of all txids
< shesek>
just curious. I was writing about that in a comment in the context of me claiming that merkle trees aren't an essential component of Bitcoin's breakthrough, and someone saying that they are (and being wrong :p)
< shesek>
does bitcoin core ever verify merkle inclusion proofs? (I assume not, it only verifies that the merkle root matches the set of txids. but maybe I'm missing some other ways its being used?)

< yanmaani>
I've never seen anyone in the wild use the URI stuff, just "send bitcoin to address X"
< yanmaani>
The designers are presumably going to have good layout suggestions like "change the receive tab", not just "bitcoin-qt with a different theme". So I think that it is still going to be useful.
< wumpus>
if people want to do a QML GUI for bitcoin core, let them
< wumpus>
it has existed virtually as long as bitcoin has
< achow101>
I setup ##bitcoin-core-survey for us to argue about how to do this survey
< wumpus>
someone already did some stuff with QML and bitcoin core in a PR for android
< moneyball>
If interested, feel free to join these and engage. Note that there is not an expectation Core contributors must join these discussions, and as I state here (https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui/pull/79#issuecomment-686613427), any formal proposed changes and discussion should occur on GitHub per the existing process.
< moneyball>
We had an amazing response with over 500 designers and creatives from around the world joining the community. Some of them have an interest in contributing to the Bitcoin Core project.

#topic Bitcoin Design Community and efforts around the Bitcoin Core project (moneyball)
< jeremyrubin>
Lots of people from the MIT Bitcoin Project lost their wallet.dats
< jonasschnelli>
Probably also hard to find samples that are representative for "the usergroupe" of Bitcoin Core
< moneyball>
Square Crypto just announced a user research grant to Jamaal who is an experienced research from OMI and IDEO, to exclusively focus on Bitcoin Core, so it seems like that would be a great person to engage on this
