achow101: because it's hardly any better and it means that when some dimbulb tries running forkcoin it results in him being unable to run Bitcoin (perhaps concurrently) on the same host.
< luke-jr>
RealM9: that's a decision for the community, not for developers. anyhow, ask on #bitcoin if you really want to discuss it
< gmaxwell>
For example say we are surrounded by ForkCoin peers, they are rejecting all bitcoin blocks. There are few forkcoin miners so they only get blocks once per day.

but it makes bitcoin core responsible for tracking who knows what, instead of leaving that up to clients (who are arguably in a better position to know what they already know)

submitted as #1828 on the bitcoin.org repo. probably just me that's missed it having not been around for the releases but it's nice to have in there.

if you run `ldd` on it, you will see that bitcoin-cli requires libboost
< achow101>
mryandao: what does bitcoin-cli use boost for?
< mryandao>
i was wondering if it would be possible to remove the libboost dependency for bitcoin-cli so it is possible to compile separately on a lightweight node with minimal libs.
< Oda_nobunaga>
Sorry, I was eager to get devs opinions about this. Perhaps this would be more suited for #bitcoin

this is not a thread, but https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/9608 will likely be closed by 0.16's release due to lack of love. I really think it has potential to help slow people like me learn the p2p messages one at a time, the "switch" willl still be scary but no so much

ISTM the caller will need a consierable amount of complexity to avoid losing data, vs sending a poll every coupld seconds. Polling faster than seconds hardly makes sense in the context of bitcoin in any case, since txn take seconds to propagate through the network.
