I tried to upgrade bitcoin core from 0.18.0 to 0.20.0.

When I ask for the version through bitcoind bitcoind --version it prints Bitcoin Core version v0.20.0 but if I ask for the version through bitcoin-cli bitcoin-cli getnetworkinfo it prints "subversion": "/Satoshi:0.18.0/"

How is this possible that this is not the same?

  • bitcoind --version is asking the bitcoind binary what its version is
  • bitcoin-cli getnetworkinfo asks the currently running bitcoind what its version is

So this means that you at some point had a 0.18.0 bitcoind, started it, then installed a 0.20.0 one, but the 0.18.0 one is still running.
