Updates about BitcoinCash
-
The format of address in genesis transaction for BitcoinCash has been legacy style like "1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa", but should be CashAddr style like "bitcoincash:qp3wjpa3tjlj042z2wv7hahsldgwhwy0rq9sywjpyy" to be aligned with other BitcoinCash transactions. https://cashaddr.bitcoincash.org
-
BitcoinCash node software has supported "getblock with verbosity = 2" option since v0.18.8. https://github.com/Bitcoin-ABC/bitcoin-abc/releases/tag/v0.18.8 To gain ETL performance, "bitcoin_cash" should be removed from "HAVE_OLD_API" list in chain.py.
Thanks for this PR! I will make sure first that we run v0.18.8 then will merge this PR.
