it would add another bitcoin.conf, bitcoin_rw.conf, which can be written by the software itself
< provoostenator>
Ah, so we don't have this "here's a setting, but if you use -blah it's overridden, unless you also have bitcoin.conf, unless you have another one" stuff?
< provoostenator>
I'm still reluctant about enabling RBF for RPC. Without having a long disucssion here, is there a list of known large services that use Bitcoin Core RPC to broadcast transactions? I'd like to know their take on this.
< provoostenator>
In theory you could feed the client any sha256 hash from any source and it couuld figure out how much went into it. So you can feed it headers from anything that's completely different from Bitcoin, as long as it has a trustworthy timestamp, and it only cares aobut estimating total work in the world.

jonasschnelli: but for example, if 50% of miners switch to BCH, we wouldn't want to false flag this as a security problem in Bitcoin
< arubi>
goatpig, alright, but I don't think I understand the usefulness if it's targeted at bitcoin specifically
< goatpig>
arubi: im not saying that, this is based on Bitcoin, i dont care about other networks/chains
< luke-jr>
goatpig: that contradicts the "undiscrimnately" part.. invalid blocks aren't Bitcoin
< webuser8434>
The only label there is is Bitcoin. Maybe use a section of bitcoin.org to communicate development .. whatever, details are not import. Core needs to die for Bitcoin to live!
< webuser8434>
Hey I just wanted to say that I think maybe at some point in the future you guys might want to consider dissolution of the "Core" brand thing. As much I support everything you do and how you do it the whole "Core" idea is Bad and you'll never stop paying price for it and by extension the entire Bitcoin community. It's divisive in its nature and it gives opponents a tangible target. Unless of course it goes away. It was
< goatpig>
luke-jr: this is targetted at Bitcoin, i dont do alts
< luke-jr>
goatpig: so that assumes the blockchains in question are minimally compatible with Bitcoin in some way?
< jonasschnelli>
what is a lite bitcoin node?
< goatpig>
thinking of a hybrid mode where clients bootstrap on a public supernode then run off of a lite bitcoin node
< SomeBuggyCode>
I just wanted to ask and see if there might be anywhere to start besides reading the bitcoin docs. Is there any good way to start contributing? Thank you

I've moved some discussion regarding implementation of BIPs 98, 116, and 117 to #bitcoin-mast
< provoostenator>
Right, but how does script prevent Bitcoin Core nodes from bootstrapping with a BCash peer and then getting stuck in August 2017 if none of those peers know of any Bitcoin Core peers? Not sure what the odds of that are.

having an issue with bitcoin core changing the transaction fee to a lower amount?
< echeveria>
not really. at the moment there's a load of suboptimal ways of getting work updates from Bitcoin Core, adding a GBT endpoint means you don't need to poll or do any roundtrips to RPC.
< DrBenway>
is bitcoin core going ahead with segwit? there's been so much back and forth that im not sure anymore

DrBenway: i'm currently working on segwit wallet support in bitcoin core, reviewing many other changes, and longer term i'm working on a signature aggregation proposal and a few further out cryptographic constructions

So I managed to install QT Creator and I'm able to use to run bitcoin-qt and edit C++ files. However what I'm trying to do is edit one of the .ui files. Unfortunately the Design tab is greyed out, and I don't see these .ui files in the project.

promag: if you're losing ZMQ frames with a unix domain socket you've got other issues. there's sequence numbers in the messages that Bitcoin Core emits too, so you should be able to detect if you're getting messages lost.

heh that didn't go too well with the bitcoin foundation... anyhow off topic here
< meshcollider>
danklasson: I don't think bitcoin core counts as a charity ;)
< danklasson>
I don't know if you guys know. But supposedly this guy set up this fund where you can apply for 1 million dollars donation. Would you guys say that could be used to hire a bunch of devs working on several projects related to Bitcoin, such as segwit supported wallets and LN. What's your thoughts regarding this? https://pineapplefund.org/
