| Bitcoin TEST network source code | ||
| ================================ | ||
| Gavin's Bitcoin patches | ||
| ======================= | ||
|
|
||
| Branches here: | ||
|
|
||
| * svn : up-to-date mirror of the 'production' Bitcoin (from http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/). | ||
| * monitorreceived : Implements monitortransaction/monitorblocks/gettransaction/getblock RPC commands. | ||
| * listtransactions: Implements new JSON-RPC command "listtransactions" (from jgarzik) | ||
| * refundtransaction : Implements new JSON-RPC command "refundtransaction" | ||
|
|
||
| These branches operate on the TEST network: | ||
|
|
||
| * svnTEST : just like 'svn' (no additional features), but patched to operate on the TEST network. | ||
| * master : runs on the TEST-network with any of what I think are "production-ready" features. | ||
|
|
||
| Important changes on the master branch are: | ||
|
|
||
| * Listen port is 18333 (instead of 8333). Uses 18332 for JSON-RPC (instead of 8332). | ||
| * Uses irc.lfnet.org channel #bitcoinTEST for bootstrapping. | ||
| * Never tries to connect to "well known" nodes for bootstrapping. | ||
| * Uses bitcoinTEST for the default data directory (e.g. ~/.bitcoinTEST on Linux, %APPDATA%/BitcoinTEST on Windows, etc) | ||
| * Uses a different ADDRESSVERSION for Bitcoin Addresses (0xff instead of 0x0), so you can't screw up copying and pasting Bitcoin addresses (if you try to use a TEST address on the production system it will tell you it's invalid; you can, however, lose TESTcoins by trying to send them to a valid production address) | ||
| * Has a brand-new block chain (with a different genesis block) | ||
| * Initial difficulty is 4 times easier than production Bitcoin | ||
| * protocol message header bytes are { 0xfa, 0xbf, 0xb5, 0xda } instead of { 0xf9, 0xbe, 0xb4, 0xd9 } | ||
| * master : All of the above, merged together. | ||
