Topic: Bitcoin Core 0.20.0 Released (Read 5292 times)
Does my computer support? It is only DualCore
yes. a single core will do actually. even raspberry pis can run core, and i believe a lot of old notebooks are used for local casual nodes as they use less power than desktops, but more than a rpi of course. just need about 500 gb storage if you want the full blockchain (recommended), less if you run pruned.
this seems a bit out of date but read here:

Does my computer support? It is only DualCore
What about the issue with solo mining on core 0.20.0 as listed here:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/19182
At the moment no one can solo mine if he wan't to.
------
EDIT:
It is related to the removed coinbase flags, wich cause this problem in cgminer as well as ckpool.
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/commit/9aedabe67eedfee9c94c6a50962f11348eb99bca
so, a new cgminer/ckpool version wich address this is necessary if core 0.20.0 will be used.
I did not tested bfg-miner, but leave that to lukejr.
thanks for your attention

I realized that I chose another drive to store the blockchain and the wallet.dat is also in there 
Thank you for your help!
You probably chose a different datadir. Go to Window > Information and it will list the datadir path in that window.
I think it's better to save in Drive D or E. Don't save the system, so when the PC is installed there is no need to re-synchronize. I think this will save your time and internet data. I'm synchronizing my wallet, and it hasn't finished until now. Thank you for your help!Hi everyone,
In the latest version of Bitcoin Core ver. 0.20 there seems to be no Bitcoin folder in the C:\Users\ABC\AppData\Roaming - hence wallet.dat is not stored in there.
Does anyone have experience with this and knows where it's now stored please?
It didn't change. Defaults like these don't just change, especially if there was nothing wrong with them.In the latest version of Bitcoin Core ver. 0.20 there seems to be no Bitcoin folder in the C:\Users\ABC\AppData\Roaming - hence wallet.dat is not stored in there.

Because if I synchronize my Bitcoin wallet, I have to stop all other work. Because the internet source is drained for wallet sync. This is an impressive struggle for the core wallet.

In Window > Information it only shows me the directory where the blockchain is downloaded, but the wallet.dat file is not there. I haven't found a Bitcoin folder in the /user/Appdata/Roaming folder where the wallet.dat is usually stored. It seems strange to me as I searched for wallet.dat in the whole C drive and only wallet.dat of Electrum is in /user/Appdata/Roaming. Bitcoin core doesn't show up.
Wallets are stored in the datadir (i.e. where the blockchain is downloaded) unless you specified it to go somewhere else with -walletdir. It should be in Code:
2020-01-07T19:00:30Z BerkeleyEnvironment::Open: LogDir=/wallets/database ErrorFile= /wallets/db.log

My mate has same issue with MacOs Catalina we fixed it by changing apps setting. I think it's due to new macOS. We found improvement in blockchain download. It's lot faster than previous version.
macOS Catalina 10.15.5 is blocking this new binary:
I thought most recent Bitcoin Core releases have passed Apple's AppStore CodeSignature checks.
Do we know why this is failing now and is this expected? Thanks.

So brother, I have to provide space for initial downloads of around 320 GB.
At the moment I am stopping synchronization, and moving the synchronization process to the primary store.

No, you don't have space for 320 GB. It will download the whole thing, but not store it. That means that once you download 2GB, some files will be deleted, then some more will be downloaded again until you reach 2GB, and so on.
Oh yes brother, I understand. This means that the file will be discarded automatically when new file synchronization is entered. Thank's sir
.Understandable, because the condition of the computer is still low, so worried about something very simple.

Whether the synchronizing process will run up to 320GB, then prune.
Sorry to bother you.

You will have to download the whole thing yes, but that shouldn't matter since you will only store 2GB at the time.

So a little information for friends who are still new about the Bitcoin Core wallet. Don't lose the wallet.dat file
Because this file contains your Bitcoin address.
The search process can be guided by images.
This needs to be done if you are not doing backups on the Bitcoin Core application.
Sorry, I only use the Windows operating system, and don't understand Mac OS, or Linux.
Add.
You must display the hidden file to find the file wallet.dat
Because the Bitcoin file is in a hidden folder.
The trick, click view -> check on Hidden Items

Did I understand correctly that only 2GB is used quickly?

Sir, does the Bitcoin Core wallet take up a lot of data storage after synchronization. My data storage capacity is 200GB. Other software 90 GB, remaining 18 GB. So the Bitcoin Core wallet consumes around 90 GB of data storage.
Is it true?
Is it true?
If you have limited storage, but insist to use Bitcoin Core and only use regular wallet functionality, you can use pruned mode, which only store latest blocks (550 MB of blocks by default).
Yes. I only use the Bitcoin Core wallet to hold BTC. I have deleted the file system of Bitcoin Core by almost 85 GB. Because not enough storage space. 85 GB only just completed 24% synchronization.
And I have backup the file wallet.dat
So when we first install, what do we need to do?
I use the Windows operating system.
Thank's sir.
Screenshot that you provided actually show what you must do. You only need to make sure you choose option "Discard blocks after verification, except most recent 2GB (prune)" when you run Bitcoin Core for first time.

It's probably related to app notarization which Bitcoin Core does not do. This is separate from Code Signing. I thought most recent Bitcoin Core releases have passed Apple's AppStore CodeSignature checks.
