Hi everyone. I’m an undergrad looking to contribute to Bitcoin Core as a summer project. One idea I had was to work on implementing a assume UTXO option for speeding up IBD, but I got some feedback suggesting it might require more work on design and documentation than on coding. I’m still thinking through some other ideas, but was wondering if anyone here had any ideas they could share. Ideally it

with bitcoin 0.16 in regtest mode I'm seeing that coinbase transactions are not going to a segwit p2sh wrapped address, but to a regular p2pkh address. Is that expected?

AndyS2, this is #bitcoin talk, please move it there
< AndyS2>
maybe someone can chime in on when bitcoin was changed away from IP-Addresses and other weird things to what we mostly use nowadays. I remember reading something about that a long time ago
< AndyS2>
I can recommend "Mastering Bitcoin", it's freely available online or as a book. It was written in 2017, though, but it does tell you about a few things that were added later on

Just read the bitcoin whitepaper, and it is so clear and concise! What are the major changes that happened since the paper was written? I believe the Merkle Tree as described is not used anymore in lieu of a Fast Merkle Tree? Are there any other major differences that make the whitepaper outdated?

Huh... trying to build windows version of bitcoin with --enable-gprof --enable-debug. It fails to compile, with `Fatal error: can't write 86 bytes to section .text of wallet/libbitcoin_wallet_a-wallet.o because: 'File too big'`. That doesn't sound too good. (Without both, it compiles though.)

luke-jr: for example, I'm not sure that setting a locktime in the transaction should modify the sequence numbers itself, if a user is using bitcoin-tx they probably want to modify the transaction themselves rather than it doing stuff in the background
