protocol-specification VS bitcoin-cash-node

Something like https://gitlab.com/cashid/protocol-specification ?

Thinking maybe this: https://gitlab.com/bitcoin-cash-node/bitcoin-cash-node/-/tree/master

Yep, just a suggestion/comment in the config file here which showed me 'this was useful for me, let me share it' kind of vibes. I also checked their history there. Seem to be helping review things too (i have no idea about the back story here, just going on what I'm seeing before me)

They're already implemented and running on testnet4, using node software built from this MR: https://gitlab.com/bitcoin-cash-node/bitcoin-cash-node/-/merge_requests/1600

Either build the test branch yourself (https://gitlab.com/bitcoin-cash-node/bitcoin-cash-node/-/merge_requests/1600) or use Calin's build here (https://www.c3-soft.com/downloads/BitcoinCash/testing/mr-1600)

At first I was disappointed by the results following official build instructions for BCHN (here) & Bitcoin Core (here), but eventually I realized they were missing the strip * command. BCHN gave a strange warning when running it, but that issue is apparently resolved with the -DCLIENT_VERSION_IS_RELEASE flag. Without stripping, the bitcoin-qt.exe can be 415 MiB instead of under 31 MiB.

BCH runs by a diverse set of node implementations that have slightly different implementations (and docs), although following the same consensus rules. I would recommend starting with BCHN's list of consensus changes since the hard fork in 2017: https://gitlab.com/bitcoin-cash-node/bitcoin-cash-node/-/blob/master/doc/bch-upgrades.md

A draft implementation is coming to testnets for BCH via Bitcoin Cash Node hopefully soon.
