 2 2015-10-18 08:23:13 <cjcj> When using bitcoin core in regtest mode, will the difficulty increase after the first 2016 blocks? If so, can I disable this to have constant difficulty and not have to restart bitcoind?
 3 2015-10-18 09:04:16 <wumpus> cjcj:  it will retarget after 2016 blocks. I'd prefer to disable that though, for me that would be expected behavior and it also causes some problems with computation at the moment https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/6162
 4 2015-10-18 09:04:28 <matsjj> can someone explain to me who is in charge for mining on the Liquid Sidechain? As I see it, they solve the 0-conf problem by having a mining monopoly?
 5 2015-10-18 09:12:58 <maaku> matsjj: there is no mining in Liquid. but please, #sidechains-dev or #blockstream
 6 2015-10-18 09:13:40 <maaku> happy to answer in either of the mentioned channels
 7 2015-10-18 09:13:46 <matsjj> aight! °)

 9 2015-10-18 10:50:42 <Eagle[TM]> I'm looking for a patch to bitcoin core which rewrites rawtransactions to force LowS singatures. I can't find it as a pull req on github. Apparently Matt Corello is running it (or has authored it?)
10 2015-10-18 11:03:11 <phantomcircuit> Eagle[TM], https://github.com/thebluematt/bitcoin/tree/seed
11 2015-10-18 11:03:50 <phantomcircuit> Eagle[TM], if you're a miner, i wouldn't suggest calling getblocktemplate on that node, but rather having that node connect to the one you are
12 2015-10-18 11:10:21 <Eagle[TM]> phantomcircuit: many thanks! It's for electrum servers running 0.11.1. We're pretty late to the BIP62 game and earlier clients are experiencing problems with newer bitcoin core versions
13 2015-10-18 11:12:53 <phantomcircuit> hmm
14 2015-10-18 11:13:20 <phantomcircuit> you probably want to run with the low-s enforcement but not mutate directly on the node connected to the electrum stuff
15 2015-10-18 11:13:54 <phantomcircuit> it's certainly not been reviewed well enough to be consensus safe and is in the middle of consensus code
16 2015-10-18 11:15:54 <cryptotango> is zeromq enabled by default in the 0.11.1 bitcoind build?
17 2015-10-18 11:17:10 <Eagle[TM]> phantomcircuit: thanks for the suggestion
18 2015-10-18 11:22:55 <cryptotango> I'm running "bitcoind -zmqpubhashblock=tcp://127.0.0.1:28332" and the example python client subscriber program (contrib/zmq/zmq_sub.py) but I don't get any printouts. Are there some configurations that must be in place for this to work?
19 2015-10-18 11:24:06 <moa> cryptotango: zeromq is not enabled by default
20 2015-10-18 11:24:32 <cryptotango> moa: ok, so I have to build it on my own to enable it?
21 2015-10-18 13:36:40 <lclc> cryptotango: by default ZMQ is on, but if you don't have ZMQ installed it is built without it: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/configure.ac#L686
22 2015-10-18 13:37:34 <lclc> at least that's how I understand it reading the config file..
