  • bchd

    An alternative full node bitcoin cash implementation written in Go (golang)

  • for BCHN & Core (after making a back-up of the executables & cd to their directory). For BCHD (& maybe BTCD?) build using

  • mingw-builds-binaries

    MinGW-W64 compiler binaries

  • strip * can be run inside Linux, or in Windows I downloaded the posix-sjlj release for mingw64, & then appended its extracted bin directory to the Path environmental variable (from Start Menu type advanced system settings).

  • 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.
