i was testing Dogecoin, and seems that has the same problem...
was "updated to Bitcoin core code"
and has JSON RCP CALL ERROR...
http://dogecoin.com
https://www.reddit.com/r/dogemining/
MultiDoge is a semi-light weight wallet, very pretty, loads QR code, needs Java.
like a Dogecoin Core Wallet with pruning=1
http://multidoge.org
https://github.com/langerhans/multidoge/releases
Modify MultiDodge to work with BitcoinCore 0.9.5 would be very nice project.
"Dogecoin 1.10 is a complete rebuild based on Bitcoin 0.11. This means in terms of the code-base we introduced all the changes between Bitcoin 0.9 and 0.11 into this version of Dogecoin Core.
We therefore suggest to read the release notes of both Bitcoin 0.10 and Bitcoin 0.11. 1.10 is a recommended update for all users, and if you cannot update to 1.10 for whatever reason, you must update to 1.8.3 "
https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin/releases
"Dogecoin Core 1.8.1 is primarily a bugfix release, bringing Dogecoin Core in line with Bitcoin 0.9.3"
so next step is to test if block version is the same or was also changed from DC 1.10 and 1.8.2/1.8.1
if Doge 1.8.2 = Bitcoin-Core 0.9.5 would be awesome. LOL.
want to try 1.8.3 but does not have portable version, only .exe
....................
Doge 1.10 has different Block version than 1.8.3 rc1, 1.8.2, & 1.8.1
Full Walllet today is 26GB,
2 options: Download again, or Rebuild...
Download usually is faster.
will try rebuild.
if DogeCoin 0.10 has the same Soft-Fork to Reject Blocks created with Previous versions, has the same Achilles heel, or worse because Litecoin and Dogecoin have shared algorithms.
https://digiconomist.net/how-auxpow-affected-dogecoin-mining/
2 birds 1 stone. LOL.

well,
All miners that support getworktemplate command, work with 0.9.5,
latest BGFMiner, cgminer 3.7.5, "cgminer has problem with Shares Not accepted", maybe would need to roll-back to 3.3.2,
poclminer,
RPCMiner_Win32_18.11.2013
guiminer-20121203
work
but...0.9.5 does not mine because New Bitcoin_Core versions reject blocks created with old Basic.Defining.Rules, B.E.R... was a "soft-fork" by the developers,
New Cores are only compatible with D.E.R. Strict file size Rules.
and most people have latest version 0.15, 0.14, 0.13, since the soft-fork.
if all nodes had 0.9.5, "more than 51%" would be ok, New nodes would be rejected,
"Holly sh!T, i found a way to Kill all ASIC miners. LOL Jajajajajaja"
there is only 11k nodes, if i put 6000 virtual box computers with 0.9.5, i could crash Bitcoin. LOL Jajajajajaja
https://bitnodes.earn.com
NODES have the power to decide.
grab all miners by the balls. LOL Jajajajajaja
is possible to mine with 0.9.5, if something happens to ASIC miners.
Bitcoin Nodes can go-back to 0.9.5, download the blocks in format #2, with B.E.R.
No problem today, downloading all blocks, works & miners,
but new blocks created with 0.9.5 will be rejected by the majority with the soft-fork code.
so thats Plan-B, if the world ends or a meteorite hits China Antminer factory. LOL. Jajajajajaja
............................
i don´t support Assumed Valid blocks for a Node since 0.14,
but with 0.13.1,
No Gpu miner works,
the reason is that...very old miners need getwork command, replaced with getworktemplate,
GPU miners compatible with 0.9.5, need getworktemplate, but getworktemplate changed again,
Bitcoin_core 0.13.1 in -server mode, needs:
if you type getblocktemplate only, it won´t work, as previous versions, "that was a 2nd soft-fork by the developers."
in theory all GPU miners have to be modified to ask:
getblocktemplate "{\"rules\":[\"segwit\"]}"
to work with 0.13.1
instead of only:
getblocktemplate command like previous versions,
and maybe it could work, output seems compatible.
......
there are different segwit,
the idea of changing how cores measure a block from bytes to Units, and squeeze 1000 units instead of bytes is clever,
but separating the signature i think is bad... LOL. Jajajajajaja
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SegWit
hope this helps someone to join the project.
but the project has forked...
update old miners, or create 10k nodes with 0.9.5 and take over the network, and forbid ASIC miners, you decide.
because Mining is Luck, ASIC miners try to Brute Force Luck,
ASIC miners can be replaced with hundreds of smaller GPU´s like GT 740, intel Phy maybe,
basically an ASIC miner has 180 chips at 500Mhz, can be replaced with 100 small GPU´s at 1Ghz, and have the same luck finding a block..
Forcing Miners & Developers to forbid ASIC miners, would be only temporal, until they create more nodes to fight back... LOL. Jajajajajaja
but it will be Absolute Chaos for a Week,
Bitcoin price could tumble... sell Now. LOL. Jajajajajaja
and BitcoinCash Sky Rocket. LOL. Jajajajajaja
on the other hand is to support Bitcoin Gold BTG, that changed the SHA256d algorithm to another algorithm resistant to ASIC miners.
Probably the same algorithm used in Zcash.
but BTG also has SegWit, i don´t fully support.

PROJECT To UPDATE OLD MINERS for GPU CPU, Needs your Help!
The idea of this project is for fun, educational benchmark purposes...
Old GPU miners don´t work with latest Bitcoin core software like 0.13.1, "0.14 has -assumed valid block i don´t agree."
but
the reason was very important:
getwork command was replaced with getworktemplate that increases security in a pool enviroment.
and getwork command used by old miners was removed from the Bitcoin Core since version 0.10.0.
https://bitcoin.org/en/version-history
https://bitcoin.org/en/release/v0.10.0
https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.9.5/
https://bitcoin.org/bin/insecure/
making Old GPU & CPU Miners unusable.
people didn´t care to update, because ASIC was faster, Faster = Money.
getworktemplate gives back power to the miners from the pool,
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Getblocktemplate#Why_change_something_that_works.3F
"Since getblocktemplate drastically reduces the load required to a single request per new block on the network, direct solo mining on bitcoind is again possible."
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Getwork
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitcoind
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Stratum_mining_protocol
...............
the idea of this project is to update old miners to work with newer versions of Bitcoin Core/Cash/Gold.
Fun Benchmark to measure GPU evolution over time.
every time a new GPU comes out: Nvidia Titan V for example,
is tested with Ethereum, not with Bitcoin.
old benchmarks were tested with Bitcoin.
Bitcoin SHA256 tests Raw GPU,
Scrypt coins test Memory speed.
is a different Benchmark.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrypt
answer questions like:
If Nvidia Titan V New Tensor Cores, ¿can be used for SHA256 or Scrypt Mining?
Reasons are to learn, and avoid centralization of the mining hardware,
"dependence from a dedicated hardware."
spondoolies-tech the only competitor, went bankruptcy.
https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/bitcoin-mining-developer-spondoolies-shuts/
if only 1 factory makes all miners, eventually it can take over the world.!
control all the miners/pools in the world,
by making new faster miners and not selling,
also not selling replacement parts for old miners.
What are you gonna do? LOL. Jajajajaja
Centralization of mining hardware its a BAD IDEA!
it can give serious problems in the future.
All Miners today, can be left outside the game tomorrow.
if Bitcoin becomes the defacto Currency of the World,
why sell Miners for an inferior currency? like USD, if they can make more money Not selling miners? LOL. Jajajajajaja
i think is important to keep "doors open" for Decentralization,
The Original idea of Bitcoin / Satoshi Nakamoto was to AVOID CENTRALIZATION.
1x Company making all the miners in the world, is AGAINST the Original Idea of Bitcoin...
SHAME ALL OF YOU!.
People that laugh of GPU mining, You are falling directly into an electric spider web trap. LOL. Jajajajajaja
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider_web
http://www.underrail.com/wiki/index.php?title=Electric_web_trap
does not matter if GPU´s are slower, thats why 1MB block size was created, To AVOID CENTRALIZATION!.
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Block_size_limit_controversy
GPU prices go down with new generation, following the laws of:
ASIC Miner prices stay the same, and will see if ASIC Miners price$ will also half in Block 630.000, or stays the same. LOL. Jajajaja
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Controlled_supply
http://www.btc.com
or if ASIC miners Speed will double 2x with the same price of today...
Eventually GPU´s will catch up in speed, and outperform in price.
in 5 to 10 years an Nvidia Titan V will be $250usd. or less.
preparing is wise.
CPU OpenCL mining is also interesting to Benchmark Newer 64-Core AMD CPU´s for example.
OpenCL drivers from AMD are included in the Drivers, but AMD dropped support for Windows 8.1, ("thats why is important Decentralization")
Intel also has an OpenCL driver.

https://software.intel.com/en-us/intel-opencl

Bitcoin SHA256 tests Raw GPU,
Scrypt coins test Memory speed.
is a different Benchmark.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrypt
answer questions like:
If Nvidia Titan V New Tensor Cores, ¿can be used for SHA256 or Scrypt Mining?

Reasons are to learn, and avoid centralization of the mining hardware,
"dependence from a dedicated hardware."
spondoolies-tech the only competitor, went bankruptcy.
https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/bitcoin-mining-developer-spondoolies-shuts/
if only 1 factory makes all miners, eventually it can take over the world.!
control all the miners/pools in the world,
by making new faster miners and not selling,
also not selling replacement parts for old miners.
What are you gonna do? LOL. Jajajajaja
Centralization of mining hardware its a BAD IDEA!
it can give serious problems in the future.
All Miners today, can be left outside the game tomorrow.
if Bitcoin becomes the defacto Currency of the World,
why sell Miners for an inferior currency? like USD, if they can make more money Not selling miners? LOL. Jajajajajaja
i think is important to keep "doors open" for Decentralization,
The Original idea of Bitcoin / Satoshi Nakamoto was to AVOID CENTRALIZATION.
1x Company making all the miners in the world, is AGAINST the Original Idea of Bitcoin...
SHAME ALL OF YOU!.
People that laugh of GPU mining, You are falling directly into an electric spider web trap. LOL. Jajajajajaja

does not matter if GPU´s are slower, thats why 1MB block size was created, To AVOID CENTRALIZATION!.

GPU prices go down with new generation, following the laws of:

ASIC Miner prices stay the same, and will see if ASIC Miners price$ will also half in Block 630.000, or stays the same. LOL. Jajajaja
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Controlled_supply

or if ASIC miners Speed will double 2x with the same price of today...
Eventually GPU´s will catch up in speed, and outperform in price.
in 5 to 10 years an Nvidia Titan V will be $250usd. or less.
preparing is wise.
CPU OpenCL mining is also interesting to Benchmark Newer 64-Core AMD CPU´s for example.
OpenCL drivers from AMD are included in the Drivers, but AMD dropped support for Windows 8.1, ("thats why is important Decentralization")
Intel also has an OpenCL driver.

OpenCL drivers for CPU can be verified with different softwares.
