Is anyone seeing MUCH WORSE performance on low-end machines?
I have an old PC 1st gen i3, 6GB ram, 256GB ssd, Win 10 64bit and nothing else installed.
With 0.15.1, 0.15.0, 0.14.2, everything was fine. With 16 it takes minutes to do anything.
On the newer PCs I have running core everything is fine, but this on has become worse then useless. Before I wipe it and start again is anyone else seeing this behavior?

Yes, I know it's old and slow but all it does is just sit there with the core client running on it with nothing else and it's been fine like this for years. Did it just get too old or is it something else?

No noticeable performance differences from 0.15.1 on Win7 x64 machine with overclocked i7-4700MQ CPU, 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD. Running with block pruning enabled. And I am really sensitive to any performance drops, like I am able to distinguish between RAM running at stock speeds vs. XMP profile loaded and timings tightened. So I suspect the problem is due to blockchain maintenance or some other thing going on.

then what's the point of releasing 0.15.1 when they could have waited, directly for this and release it instead

btw checksum 42706da1a95b2db8c5808529f73c2063a0dd770f71e0c8506bfa86dc0f3403ef

Not sure what you mean. 15.1 had a lot of improvements to p2p behaviour, this release had a lot of improvements to many things especially segwit wallet support. Why should 15.1 have waited for this?

i mean just skip 15.1 and include everything in 16

What is the point of that? Then you would have had to wait until now for the features that 15.1 contained. Same could be said about 0.16, why bother releasing 0.16 when we could save all the features for 0.17? We make regular releases so that the features actually get out into real use in stable, gitian built, signed binaries.

I upgraded to 0.16 and tried to generate a bech32 address by clicking the request payment button with the "Generate bech32 address" checkbox checked however it simply generates an address starting with 1 and bnot with bc.

  • Is this a P2SH wrapped address?
  • If not, how do I generate a bech32 address?
  • If yes, how can I tell the addresses apart in my address book?
  • How is segwit visualized (if at all)? In the transaction screen I see nothing of the sort.

Thanks!

Addresses starting with a 1 are "legacy" normal addresses, not P2SH, so no if it starts with a 1 it is not a segwit address at all. 0.16 will not generate addresses starting with a 1 unless you start the program with -addresstype=legacy in which case you can't see the bc1 checkbox at all, so that certainly should not have happened. I cannot reproduce, I tried generating a new wallet with 0.15, upgrading to 0.16 but it still generates bc1 addresses when the checkbox is ticked. Can you reproduce or was it a once-off?

So far so good. Upgrade from 0.15.1 64-bit was problemless. Really like the option to quit client with Q button when starting up. Comes handy on really slow systems if there is need to abort loading. I do not like the new Bleach32 adresses. The look like some random altcoin adresses but time will show how they are adopted. The presentation from Peter on Jewtube is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqiN9VFE4CU The Replace by Fee option also can come handy in some situations when you might need to double-spend.

A new address type was necessary for easy native segwit, and they have a number of benefits over the legacy (1/3) address types, which if you have seen Peter's presentation I'm sure you are aware of Smiley So no need to dislike them!

Hello Team,

Is their option to download blockchain as  zip file. It is taking  long for sync.


It'd probably take longer as a zip file than to sync using 0
15.1 because the signature validation is more of a bottleneck than network speed usually.

Hello. Do you have moderation on bitcoin.it? Or if users have been approved by your team their changes do not have to be checked?

Changes don't have to be checked when they are made, but we regularly inspect recent changes and anyone who makes malicious edits will lose their edit rights permanently

@MeshCollider, @Taras:  Based on the quality of requests being made here, I suggest editing Taras’ original post from 2015-04-15T23:29:34Z to add the following note:

We get so many requests here but almost none of the accounts promoted to editor from this thread actually ever edit anything. So perhaps, to avoid the odd occurrence of spambots being promoted to editor, it should be a requirement to also post why you want to be editor or a specific example of something you would do with edit privileges

With that being on page 45, I myself only saw it by happenstance.  Of course, I also consider that to be no more than common sense.  Who would make a post with just a username?  What’s the point?

Edit:  Based on the profusion of one-post newbies who apparently created a Bitcoin Forum account solely to request Wiki edit privileges, I also suggest indicating that requests will be more likely granted for those with at least a modicum of reputational history.  Not necessarily a forum posting history:  Reference to a well-established blog, open-source contributions, mailing list posts, Reddit user profile, Wikipedia edit history, etc. would serve the same purpose.  If spammers can create a new wiki account, they can create a new forum account, too.

~~~~ Nullius (Talk | contribs)

Agreed, and I've messaged Taras directly about updating the OP, he might not be checking this thread regularly. I've started ignoring requests for edits which only include the username without any context here, otherwise its taking me too much time to do them all for no point, at the risk of allowing more spambots onto the wiki again
