8a4dcda414doc: Added default signet config for linearize script (gr0kchain) Pull request description: Updated the example-linearize.cfg file to include support for the signet chain network config which is used by the ./linearize-data.py Problem: Without the signet magic, genesis hash and path config, the linearize-data.py script cannot generate a bootstrap.dat file. Example: ``` ./linearize-data.py ./linearize.cfg Read 4776 hashes Genesis block not found in hashlist ``` Solution: Added netmagic, genesis and input example parameters to file. Netmagic in terms of signet is derived from the signet-challenge and not static as with other networks. The provided signet magic is based on the default public signet. Resolution ``` ./linearize-hashes.py ./linearize.cfg > ./hashlist.txt ./linearize-data.py ./linearize.cfg $ ./linearize-data.py ./linearize.cfg Read 4776 hashes Input file /Users/gr0kchain/.bitcoin/signet/blocks/blk00000.dat Output file /Users/gr0kchain/Downloads/bootstrap.dat 1000 blocks scanned, 1000 blocks written (of 4776, 20.9% complete) 2000 blocks scanned, 2000 blocks written (of 4776, 41.9% complete) 3011 blocks scanned, 3000 blocks written (of 4776, 62.8% complete) 4010 blocks scanned, 4000 blocks written (of 4776, 83.8% complete) Done (4776 blocks written) ``` ACKs for top commit: laanwj: Tested ACK8a4dcda414Tree-SHA512: ad4d330358cf67e7424fb1d97ca828c28ca2758102e45747f4059c11a8acce801162da024a20cfb892f997fd4c3f4d5af988d1ca67c74efa78bf7d4ed27dd421
Bitcoin Core integration/staging tree
What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is an experimental digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Bitcoin Core is the name of open source software which enables the use of this currency.
For more information, as well as an immediately usable, binary version of the Bitcoin Core software, see https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/, or read the original whitepaper.
License
Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.
Development Process
The master branch is regularly built (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but it is not guaranteed to be
completely stable. Tags are created
regularly from release branches to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.
The https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui repository is used exclusively for the development of the GUI. Its master branch is identical in all monotree repositories. Release branches and tags do not exist, so please do not fork that repository unless it is for development reasons.
The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.
Testing
Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.
Automated Testing
Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to
submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run
(assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running
and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.
There are also regression and integration tests, written
in Python, that are run automatically on the build server.
These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py
The Travis CI system makes sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.
Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing
Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.
Translations
Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.
Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.
Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
Translators should also subscribe to the mailing list.
