How to Upgrade ==============

If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely shut down (which might take a few minutes in some cases), then run the installer (on Windows) or just copy over `/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt` (on macOS) or `bitcoind`/`bitcoin-qt` (on Linux).

Upgrading directly from a version of Bitcoin Core that has reached its EOL is possible, but it might take some time if the data directory needs to be migrated. Old wallet versions of Bitcoin Core are generally supported.

Compatibility ==============

Bitcoin Core is supported and extensively tested on operating systems using the Linux kernel, macOS 10.15+, and Windows 7 and newer. Bitcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not as frequently tested on them. It is not recommended to use Bitcoin Core on unsupported systems.

There's a typo in the tracker subdomain: trakcer.bitcoin.sprovoost.nl <http://trakcer.bitcoin.sprovoost.nl/> should be tracker.bitcoin.sprovoost.nl <http://tracker.bitcoin.sprovoost.nl/>, but I'll just add that subdomain now.

Available from: https://github.com/petertodd/bitcoin/tree/full-rbf-v24.1

eg:

    git clone -b full-rbf-v24.1 https://github.com/petertodd/bitcoin.git

What is this? It's Bitcoin Core v24.1, with Antoine Riard's full-rbf peering code, and some additional minor updates to it. This does two things for full-rbf nodes:

1) Advertises a FULL_RBF service bit when mempoolfullrbf=1 is set.
2) Connects to four additional FULL_RBF peers.

Doing this ensures that a core group of nodes are reliably propagating full-rbf replacements. We don't need everyone to run this. But it'd be helpful if more people did.

As for why you should run full-rbf, see my blog post:

https://petertodd.org/2023/why-you-should-run-mempoolfullrbf

We even have hats! :D
