Hi, delighted to see an implementation of Utreexo. I will just have a few questions about your implementation.
1) Is this implementation able to start other nodes whether they are on the reference implementation or on Floresta? 2) Is it possible to switch from Bitcoin Core to Floresta without causing a new IDB? 3) Is Floresta backward compatible with Bitcoin Core's RPC commands? > Le 31 juil. 2023 à 19:47, Davidson Souza via bitcoin-dev > <bitcoin-dev@lists.linuxfoundation.org> a écrit : > > Hi, list.
