Bitcoin XT

Name: bitcoinxt
Brand: bitcoinxt
SKU: //bitcoinxt/bitcoinxt
Rating: 2.79 (416 reviews)

Bitcoin XT is an implementation of a Bitcoin Cash (BCH) full node that embraces Bitcoin's original vision of simple, reliable, low-cost transactions for everyone in the world. Bitcoin XT originated as a series of patches on top of Bitcoin Core and is now a independently maintained software fork. See some selected features.

Bitcoin XT downloads are code signed and are built reproducibly using gitian. Discussion can be found at the XT Gitter.

Data Directory Compatibility

If using a data directory from a different BCH or BTC full node, specify

-reindex

on first launch.

Set aside

wallet.dat

from Bitcoin Core or Bitcoin ABC (reason: HD wallet not yet supported). Also delete

fee_estimates.dat

from these clients.

Bitcoin XT can run in BTC chain mode by specifying

-uahftime=0

. Please note that Bitcoin XT does not validate segwit, and the conversion notes above still apply.

Development process

Ideas for useful features are tracked in Issues. Pull requests from developers, including well-done cherry picks from other clients or cryptos, are very welcome.

To discuss Bitcoin Cash development in general, you are welcome to use the mailing list.

We have a manifesto that lays out things we believe are important, which you can read about here:
