doesn't murmurhash3 still need ^2.1 for PHP8? ^2.0 still forced PHP ^7 I think.

yes. v2.1.0 is the minimum murmurhash3 version for php8 support.

^2.0 doesn't force PHP^7, 2.0 does, which is the issue with the current composer file. Would it be possible to update ? It's not a breaking change.

Any update on this? Its been a while :)

If it can help, we did fork it to make it PHP 8 compatible: https://github.com/ProtonMail/bitcoin-php

The composer.json doesn't seem to be update to PHP8.0. What am I missing?

Thank you!

In the meantime I'm trying to simply skip the checks on the php requirement using

composer install --ignore-platform-req php

But I don't know if all works well now: I'm verifying...

While using ur branch and trying to getHex() from signedTx i get this error (i think its related with PHP8 update): Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method SplFixedArray::rewind() in C:\xampp\htdocs\crypto_api\vendor\protonlabs\bitcoin\src\Transaction\Mutator\AbstractCollectionMutator.php:43 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\crypto_api\vendor\protonlabs\bitcoin\src\Transaction\Factory\Signer.php(179): BitWasp\Bitcoin\Transaction\Mutator\AbstractCollectionMutator->rewind() #1 C:\xampp\htdocs\crypto_api\config\Btc.php(47): BitWasp\Bitcoin\Transaction\Factory\Signer->get() #2 C:\xampp\htdocs\crypto_api\api\btc\transfer_from.php(39): Btc->signTransaction(Object(BitWasp\Bitcoin\Transaction\Transaction), Object(BitWasp\Bitcoin\Crypto\EcAdapter\Impl\PhpEcc\Key\PrivateKey), '68673') #3 {main} thrown in C:\xampp\htdocs\crypto_api\vendor\protonlabs\bitcoin\src\Transaction\Mutator\AbstractCollectionMutator.php on line 43

This explains it (I haven’t tried to fix it):

SplFixedArray is now IteratorAggregate to support nested loops.
