3 2018-01-14 01:13:28 0|belcher_|yes achow101 they are in units of vbytes
4 2018-01-14 01:13:42 0|belcher_|or kilovbytes*
5 2018-01-14 01:14:00 0|achow101|ok, that's what I thought. docs and ui needs fixing then

8 2018-01-14 05:57:16 0|mrannanay|Hi, this may be slightly tangential, I've been wanting to start contributing regularly to core, but I think the issues with the "good-first-issue" tag are a little stale (either awaiting responses or integrating with third party applications) and do not give a lot of exposure into the codebase. (The link for reference -

10 2018-01-14 05:57:16 0|mrannanay|Wondering if there could be a way to help newcomers like me help get started with contributing to core by offloading code-issues. (Yes, I want to help and contribute!)
11 2018-01-14 06:14:53 0|jonasschnelli|mrannanay: just pick something you like to work on... then ask here if you need help.
12 2018-01-14 06:15:01 0|jonasschnelli|Make sure it fits your skill-profile..
13 2018-01-14 06:15:25 0|jonasschnelli|don't pick hardcode c++ code is you have limited c++ knowhow... maybe better extend the documentation then.
14 2018-01-14 06:15:33 0|jonasschnelli|Or extend some python tests
15 2018-01-14 06:39:47 0|mrannanay|Right, sure! I've been working with distributed systems at college. Will continue to hang out here and pick something to work on.
16 2018-01-14 08:20:34 0|mrannanay|haha thanks @Randolf

19 2018-01-14 17:27:33 0|Arvidt|Hi, what's the reason for the spike in bitcoin connections to my full node since yesterday? normally under 40, now up to 120. Many say they wher bitcoinj:0.14.5 and bitcore:1.1.0
20 2018-01-14 17:36:09 0|achow101|Arvidt: probably spy nodes
21 2018-01-14 17:36:59 0|achow101|there will often be people who fire up thousands of nodes based on bitcoinj and then try to connect to everyone on the network in order to spy on transaction broadcasts
22 2018-01-14 17:43:29 0|Arvidt|According to my Munin graph this one looks special. Around 1st November there was a spike to 60. Now it jumped up from 40 to 120 in one day and even after starting my node today (after doing backup) fresh up again, it jumped straight up to 120 again (left maxconnection parameter at default of 125) in two hours. Never seen that before.

25 2018-01-14 19:10:41 0|Victorsueca|Cross-talk from #bitcoin here, I was wondering if there is any PR or plans to add hardware wallet support to Bitcoin Core
26 2018-01-14 19:11:31 0|Victorsueca|I remember having seen something about that but not sure
27 2018-01-14 19:15:16 0|achow101|Victorsueca: people are working on it, but the wallet stuff will need a lot of major changes to allow that
28 2018-01-14 19:15:31 0|chainhead|I've seen a branch here: https://github.com/instagibbs/bitcoin/commits/hww_support
29 2018-01-14 19:16:44 0|Victorsueca|thanks for the info
30 2018-01-14 20:07:00 0|larafale|is it possible that a block only contains a coinbase ? last block 504,229 is empty.
31 2018-01-14 20:07:38 0|sipa|yes, perfectly possible, happens all the time
32 2018-01-14 20:08:01 0|larafale|sipa: ok thx :)
33 2018-01-14 22:29:39 0|instagibbs|Victorsueca, chainhead, latest is https://github.com/instagibbs/bitcoin/tree/external_sign_4 but it's in no way upstreamable due to underlying changes required to make it sane
