< kallewoof> I've been asked about address index on top of bitcoin core (to replace the unmaintained fork that exists somewhere else). What are people's opinions on this? I know some people prefer a minimal code base, but having an address index option seems like it would alleviate a lot of problems in a lot of places.

< jimpo> luke-jr: That makes sense conceptually, but I don't understand make tools well enough to understand why. From what is looks like here, https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/Makefile.test.include#L105, the test is linked against the LIBBITCOIN_SERVER sources, which includes init.cpp.
< luke-jr> jimpo: likely they're never linked together.. test_bitcoin_main would be linked into test_bitcoin, and init.cpp into bitcoind/bitcoin-qt

< meshcollider> why would this validator return true for an empty string: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/qt/optionsdialog.cpp#L337
< wumpus> the code here https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/qt/optionsmodel.cpp#L231 for ProxyIP and ProxyPORT needs to catch the condition where the list is empty, or not long enough
< wumpus> run bitcoin-qt with -resetguisettings
< wumpus> (of bitcoin core)
< meshcollider> Vision: in that case, the options will be in the registry, under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Bitcoin\Bitcoin-Qt iirc
< Vision> where are the proxy settings stored for bitcoin-qt? I cleared the proxy settings in the Options dialog, and now entering the settings dialog causes a crash. definitely a bug.

< Dizzle> cfields: this abstraction on libevent or bitcoin core?
< gmaxwell> I believe bluematt wrote a very small patch to change bitcoin to poll. We could take, that and wrap it in ifdefs so we still select on windows, and call that sub-issue done.
< wumpus> Dizzle: I don't think it's awfully useful in bitcoin-cli anyhow though it's useful for testing (though OTOH, the patch also changed the RPC testing framework to be able to use UNIX sockets)
< Dizzle> BTW, if anyone's curious how Electrum implements message signatures on native segwit addrs, we just iterate through the possible address types until there's match: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/66cce115ef93c913d65ef5c7d781c8065f79bbaf/lib/bitcoin.py#L632
< wumpus> Dizzle: do you need it to be in bitcoin-cli for that?

< archaeal> laptop - you do realize you're in #bitcoin-core-dev, right? Maybe try #bitcoin
< laptop> how profitable is it to mine bitcoin or alternative bitcoins in a pool like litecoin is it really worth your time
< achow101> you could use something else to broadcast, e.g. https://github.com/laanwj/bitcoin-submittx
< Randolf> jl2012: This channel is focused on the software development aspects of bitcoin core. What you've raised seems to be a usability question, which is much more likely to be served well on the #bitcoin channel. That's why I suggested that you ask there.
< Randolf> jl2012: Well, why don't you ask in the #bitcoin channel? Maybe it's already supported (I don't know).
< Randolf> jl2012: You seem to be asking a question about useability rather than about development. Have you tried asking your question in the #bitcoin channel?

< Provoostenator> @jonasschnelli me too, but I think a more realistic scenario is more people running Bitcoin Core nodes and connecting their favorite wallet to it.
< jonasschnelli> I'd like to see more users using Bitcoin Core as a wallet
< jonasschnelli> The current bitcoin wallets do loose one of the primary elements Bitcoin can defeat "Trusted third parties are security holes".
< jonasschnelli> b) you add a script to your bitcoin core machine that would server over TLS (an RPC proxy)

< bitcoin-git> [bitcoin] fanquake closed pull request #11735: [refactor] Remove magic numbers from HMAC SHA256 (master...eliminate_magic_numbers) https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11735
< aj> meshcollider: mainnet bitcoin.conf and network.conf live in the same directory :(
< meshcollider> Or would having them both called bitcoin.conf be confusing
< aj> meshcollider: i'm not sure if there's a use case... atm, you could have standard settings in bitcoin.conf and special settings in network.conf (mainnet addnode's say), and switch either independently via command line options. that just seems a bit more flexible and maybe natural to me?
< aj> meshcollider: i worry about that too. current behaviour is that bitcoin.conf is loaded first and network.conf second (so bitcoin.conf can specify the network), and any setting in bitcoin.conf overrides any setting in network.conf
< aj> meshcollider: yeah: patch makes bitcoind load two config files, .bitcoin/bitcoin.conf and .bitcoin/testnet3/network.conf; -conf lets you choose a different name for the first one, -netconf a different name for the second one

< Sentineo> so if I set my time to 2015 would I invalidate blocks? It sounds like bitcoin-core would take the blockchain (and other nodes) as the source of time

< fanquake> JeffSlentz Checkout the "good first issue" label on repo. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22
< Randolf> JeffSlentz: If not, then there may be other options for you, but you'll probably need to ask about those possibilities in the #bitcoin channel.
< JeffSlentz> Hey, as a recent grad with not much experience with the Bitcoin Core project, are there any suggestions for contributing?
< Murch> morcos: I was just looking at fee rate estimation. I'm surprised that the Bitcoin Core estimate is still on 170 for second block target when the network has been clearing the mempool of <40 for four days.
