Bitcore, 0.13.1 and Segwit

Hi Bitcore team,

Great work on the library, very impressive work.

It seems that bitcore-node is currently tied to a patched version of 0.12.1-Bitcoin.

bitpay/bitcore-node/blob/master/scripts/download#L8


#!/bin/bash


set -e


root_dir="$(cd "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")" && pwd)/.."
platform=`uname -a | awk '{print tolower($1)}'`
arch=`uname -m`
version="0.12.1"
url="https://github.com/bitpay/bitcoin/releases/download"
tag="v0.12.1-bitcore-4"


if [ "${platform}" == "linux" ]; then
if [ "${arch}" == "x86_64" ]; then
    tarball_name="bitcoin-${version}-linux64.tar.gz"
elif [ "${arch}" == "x86_32" ]; then
    tarball_name="bitcoin-${version}-linux32.tar.gz"
fi
elif [ "${platform}" == "darwin" ]; then

A few questions:
- Are there any imminent plans to upgrade this?
- Do we know the impact on Bitcore and Insight if Segwit activates?

Thanks

There are plans to update to 0.13.1 very soon. In fact, feel free to perform a gitian build of:

This will help with the release.

We do know the impact on Bitcore and Insight if miners decide to employ segwit-related BIPs. We have some merge requests in for Bitcore to support segwit.

thanks,

Sounds good @Chris_Kleeschulte

Let us know if there is anything we can do to help.
