wumpus: the original reason I brought it up, was translators confusing it for "About Bitcoin-Qt". but that has since been resolved in other ways, so
< gmaxwell>
I think all this is kind of pointless, user use of bitcoin is dying because of sync resource requirements.
< gmaxwell>
I think that would be dandy. I dunno what about Bitcoin would say.
< luke-jr>
so the menu would have About Bitcoin Core and About Bitcoin; and the former's dialog have a link for About Qt?
< gmaxwell>
luke-jr: It might be better to put the QT link though on the about bitcoin core page though.
< luke-jr>
re "About Qt": we're using "About %1" now anyway, so the translation issue is presumably gone, and Qt might actually be worth promoting anyway; thinking perhaps what would be an improvement there is to add an "About Bitcoin" :p

Binary files bitcoin-0.14.0-me/bin/bitcoin-qt and bitcoin-0.14.0-achow/bin/bitcoin-qt differ
< cfields>
achow101: can you drop your bitcoin-0.14.0-osx64.tar.gz somewhere?

< sipa>
in past times, it seems "Qt" was even understood to refer to the bitcoin core program name
< * luke-jr>
wonders if we should remove "About Qt" from the menu. It seems (without knowing the languages) translators are interpreting "Qt" as "Bitcoin-Qt"

brg444 did a nice writeup on bitcoin core performance improvements
< wumpus>
i'm certainly in favor of publishing awesome developer changes in bitcoin core, but I'm not sure the release notes is the right place for that

If someone argued that adding encryption to Bitcoin would make some state actors hate bitcoin, I think that could be pretty easily refuted.
< luke-jr>
gmaxwell: or possibly scared of what State actors opposing encryption might do to them/Bitcoin

< wumpus>
well if the first line contains python3 it should be run with python 3, lacking that there is no general way to detect whether code is python2 or python3. But believe me, the bitcoin core python scripts need to be run with python 3.
< wumpus>
you should run all the bitcoin core scripts with python 3
< jnewbery>
jonasschnelli: My preference would be to also move the bitcoin-util-test.py and bctest.py (and data for those tests) from src/test to whatever you rename qa to. Those tests seem much more like the integration tests in qa than the unit tests in src/test

gmaxwell: re: VM image being snapshotted and restored, that's basically a case where reusing a secret is by itself harmful - is there an example in Bitcoin where that's the case, now that we do deterministic signing?

windows file locking works fine for monolithic files that are only modified by the software modifying them, even in 10,000+ user database environments far busier than I suspect bitcoin's databases will ever be.

does testnet use the bitcoin.conf in the datadir or one in datadir/testnet3?

< jcorgan>
is there a particular reason bitcoin.conf only allows IP parameters by address and not hostname/dns name, other than "it hasn't been written yet"?
< morcos>
luke-jr: right! that's why we need to work towards a bitcoin where there is no policy!! all txs look the same
< luke-jr>
it's rational to filter SPK reuse in hopes of improving Bitcoin privacy, for example
< morcos>
i also dislike the use of policy as something that tries to constrain users to use bitcoin in a certain way.. if its not necessary for DoS prevention or resource allocation, then good usage policies/options should be at the wallet level
< luke-jr>
I don't like the direction Core is changing to where everything must be exclusively economic incentives. Bitcoin can't work with mere economic incentives as things are today. The way things are heading, Core is no longer a reference implementation, but a specific political agenda to the exclusion of others.
< luke-jr>
because some miners actually care about Bitcoin
