I've seen on reddit gmaxwell (nullc) and I think Luke JR also pointed to a release of 0.16 rather soon. As far as I know, this version will be the one that has native segwit support for bech32 addresses (finally). Hopefully this will make Coinbase support segwit and we can see cheaper transactions because it's getting out of hand with the fees sometimes.

Thanks for that, I'm trying to resist joining Reddit as there are not enough hours in the day for me as it is. It's not just Coinbase but the nearly all major services are using Core so that must account for a very large proportion of transactions. When they are all finally able to start using Segwit then that should increase capacity. Hopefully giving slightly reduced Tx fees until Lightning Network is available which is the major scaling event we desperately need.


You don't need to join reddit, I've never had an account, you just can lurk it, or bookmark whoever is worth listening to, I got a couple of posters I like that I follow.

On Coinbase; i like to think that they are just being conservative, and they are not deliberately delaying segwit adoption to push whatever hardfork agenda they must be planning next. I've learned to never trust Coinbase.

I am thinking about downloading and installing the upgrade but the thought of waiting for the whole chaing to re-sync fills me with dread. Surely one of you must have already tried this if I am up to date with blocks, will the change take 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week?

If you up to date with blocks then there is no need to resynch so the whole upgrade process should take less than half an hour.


It's likely that 0.16 will be released very soon, maybe even within a week or two Smiley

That's great news, what is the source of this information?

The transaction time is the turn off for me. It's extremely high.

i have a question, how far a replay attack can go back in time? i mean if i have a TX with 10k confirmations can still be attacked with a replay attack?

no one know?

Probably because you are asking in the wrong thread. AKAIK replay attacks are not limited by time, but if you start a thread asking then someone more knowledgeable than I might answer.

enlish:
Transaction costs are too high now! Trading time is too long, can improve this shortcoming? This is fatal for everyday small transaction payments!

Guys, anyone tried using this on a Mac?
Of course! There's a mac build and Bitcoin Core is routinely tested on Macs (some of the developers use Macs).

Thanks for this amazing release. It's just too bad that SegWit support was postponsed on its next release, but I hope it can get fixed.

Ok thanks. One more question: how can I get BCH and BTG from BCC? I have read some instructions but they are too complicated for me at the time.

And by BCC you mean Bitcoin Core? You can simply export the private keys by following this: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/4203/how-can-i-export-the-private-key-for-an-address-from-the-satoshi-client (second post) and then import them into Coinomi (It support both BTG and BCH).

Guys, should I add wallet.dat before downloading the whole blockchain or after? Does it matter actually?

Bitcoin core should read the wallet file on startup, anything else doesn't matter. You won't be able to send anything before the blockchain is downloaded though.

So this is the new and updated version right? What happened to the old version? Does it have a much better and useful features than the old one? I just wanted to before I upgrade on this latest version.
