my goal is to reuse the test suite of bitcoin core

right, verifyTx would not check policy rules, perhaps we can have a verifyAndAcceptTx function too, but that's more bitcoin core specific I think

I have an issue where my bitcoin core daemon goes out of sync for no reason at all. Plenty of peers and in a proper datacenter. It's a server with an E3 processor and 16GB of Ram, not a resource isssue.

kallewoof: lots of people miss that one, the bitcoin software was originally most blocks.
< gmaxwell>
the total work is represented as nChainWork in the bitcoin codebase, it isn't seralized as part of the block.
< kallewoof>
I always thought bitcoin was supposed to pick the chain with the most work, not the longest chain. I did some testing, and with a split network bitcoin picked the longest chain, even though the shorter-by-one chain had a much lower hash.

< sqltest>
so I guess i need to set datadir and conf on command line unless I decide to move bitcoin.conf to datadir. I have a bunch of confs for daemons and wanted to keep them all in /etc/bitcoin
< jcorgan>
and it did seem that bitcoind was checking for $HOME/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf before parsing the cmdline for -conf
< gmaxwell>
with datadir set on the commandline I don't see any access to $HOME/.bitcoin
< jcorgan>
sqltest: i can confirm i've seen exactly the same behavior as you describe. i don't know if it is a feature or a bug, but nowadays i run bincoind inside a container so i map $HOME/.bitcoin inside the container to wherever i want outside the container
< sqltest>
If I tell start-stop-daemon to chdir to a writeable dir I thought it would create a .bitcoin dir there but for some reason it doesn't.

<*highlight><Chris_Stewart_5:#bitcoin-core-dev> jonasschnelli: Do you have any numbers on how long it takes to sync headers with your pull req?
< sqltest>
So if I create an empty /.bitcoin dir it starts fine. But when that is not present it cannot start.
< sqltest>
It seems to test the exitence of .bitcoin even when using another datadir path.
< sqltest>
I have other settings I need in the bitcoin.conf as well so provide that instead of datadir alone.
< sqltest>
I do set that in the conf file and it works. But only when an empty .bitcoin is "hanging around". The .bitcoin remains empty even when daemon is full functionaing.
< gmaxwell>
you can just <sudo...> bitcoind -datadir=/etc/bitcoin/
< sqltest>
eg. "sudo -u btc bitcoind -conf=/etc/bitcoin/bitcoin.conf" works only if an extraneous .bitcoin dir exists even when not used
< sqltest>
hello. I'm having a problem getting bitcoind to run as a different user (other than logged in user) using init conf. It always fails because it tries to create a .bitcoin dir. If I create a /.bitcoin dir with ownership of user it works. But I don't want a root .bitcoin dir. The running user has no home dir. The bitcoin.conf is provided on cmd and datadir is in conf so works fine. No need to create an empty .bitcoin dir at a

16:53 < Michail1> gmaxwell - Mental note: bitcoin-0.13.2-win64-setup.exe is detected by Norton (File Insight) as not safe and automatically removes it. (Not that you can do anything about it, just letting you know.) I am confirming the prior versions are not auto deleted.
< gmaxwell>
and the continued obession with checkpoints by people (esp. academics) makes me want to not work on bitcoin anymore, so I might not be thinking about it objectively.
