Bitcoin XT
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:
