I'm not sure if this is the proper place to ask but the bitcoin client qt displays "This is experimental software." when you go to about -> About Bitcoin Core. Is there a goal to consider the software no longer experimental? Like, it won't be experimental when a milestone/feature set is reached.

<yanmaani>
start bitcoin again, wait for it to sync up, kill it with -9
<yanmaani>
to reproduce: install bitcoin core, sync it until it's like a week behind, close it orderly
<yanmaani>
Why doesn't Bitcoin Core sync db after completing ibd?
<provoostenator>
Can move to #bitcoin-dev if the answer is "complicated" :-)
<michaelfolkson>
provoostenator: Probably should be in #bitcoin-dev (and I think only luke-jr can answer it) but BIP 148, 149 weren't given single digits and allocated at similar time. But they were entitled to be SegWit specific rather than general activation mechanism

prayank: the bitcoin-dev list has greylisting active. messages from new emails will be in a moderation queue and need to be manually approved before being sent to the list. messages that are not approved will appear here: https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev-moderation/ I don't see the email in question there, so it's probably just still in the queue waiting for someone to get to it
<prayank>
belcher: I am not sure why merchange and customer is used in this example it can be any peer1 and peer2 or alice-bob. If bitcoin was used for merchant and customer thing today maybe this thing was already solved.
<belcher>
indeed the very first payjoin BIP was written by the operator of a bitcoin casino whos customers kept getting banned because they transferred coins straight from a kyc exchange to the casino
<belcher>
much more useful would be to ask places like bitcoin casinos, p2p exchanges and individual web stores to adopt payjoin
<laanwj>
belcher: yeah, it's hard to do within bitcoin core's architecture, it's very much a stand-alone wallet, fitting in any kind of coordination between wallets is going to be very difficult
<provoostenator>
Proojects like Specter and Wasabi now end up using Bitcoin Core in the background.
<laanwj>
no one with expertise in bitcoin privacy methods works on bitcoin core, they all decided to make their own projects
<michaelfolkson>
Kaizen_Kintsugi_: Perhaps #bitcoin-core-pr-reviews is better channel for these types of general questions. But with Schnorr we can do key aggregation schemes (e.g. MuSig2) but not signature aggregation across say inputs
<dongcarl>
provoostenator: E.g. ./src/bitcoin-chainstate ./test-datadir (This is a draft PR please don’t use it on your actual datadir).
<dongcarl>
provoostenator: bitcoin-chainstate does do something! It will print out information about a datadir and wait for new blocks (encoded in hex) to process on stdin. I found it pretty cool to start it and start feeding it block 1, 2, 3, and see it work :-)

<dongcarl>
Right, I think in practice libbitcoinkernel will probably be a subset of bitcoin-node (is that the right binary?), as in bitcoin-node can link against libbitcoinkernel (not proposing that we do this yet)
<prayank>
michaelfolkson: It was sarcasm for some privacy wallets writing non sense that affect privacy of Bitcoin in general but nobody wants to talk about it. I understand your point and no disagreement.

<dongcarl>
laanwj: In my mind, bitcoin-chainstate is more of a demo executable, one which makes sure that we're linking in everything we need and surfaces our dependency tree. I think it'll be nice to have a few of these demo executables as guiding "north stars" so we can see how ergonomic (or rather, un-ergonomic) libbitcoinkernel is right now, and how it

I guess if you have a bitcoin-chainstate binary you can already have your own P2P implementation and feed blocks to the binary as the consensus engine

Basically bitcoin-chainstate is a binary that, upon invocation with a datadir path as the first argument, will load the datadir, print out information about it, then wait for blocks (encoded in hex) on stdin to call ProcessNewBlock on. THE PROBLEM is that when I start with an empty datadir, and feed it block 1 and block 2, then exit, the next time
