< binarycat> I have a Bitcoin Core wallet.dat which I've had forever. Today, I made a fresh wallet.dat, created a receive address and went back to the original wallet.dat and transferred almost all of the Bitcoins to the new one, for the sake of being able to safely "claim" Bitcoin Gold/Cash/whatever without risking that the software just steals my Bitcoin instead of giving me other coins (and also to put the new wallet.dat in offline storage....

< kallewoof> I guess I'll try linking directly and see how far that gets me. I suspect there will be a lot of issues where the bitcoin code expects a fully fledged bitcoin instance running.

< Randolf> esotericnonsense: For Bitcoin stuff, I'd create custom datatypes that save the data in binary format.
< kallewoof> I think having hooks in bitcoin core that let such a system exist separately is a good plan. It would only rely on API breakage, which bitcoin core is very careful about.
< 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?

< gmaxwell> same reason sighash flags can fail valid in bitcoin: If I pick an out of range sighash flag I could forge signatures for your pubkeys.
< gmaxwell> prior to having the explicit versions we couldn't do that, which is why we never even merged the patch in elements, much less brought it to bitcoin.
< wumpus> using bitcoin keys for anything else than signing transactions continues to make me uneasy
