I'm a bit confused on how testing stuff for Bitcoin on the testnet currently works.
For example, bitcoin core 0.10 enables only 40 bytes in OP_RETURN
, but I'm not sure if 0.10 is the latest version allowed on the testnet.
I know that there are OP_RETURN
transactions in the testnet block chain that are up to 64 bytes, as seen in this transaction:
{
"transaction_hash": "91615716a4d3c42cafc240b594d79782709c2c359bd0d5a1d30fa2ee8294bcd3",
"hex": "37356365626362356462366363636537383565633837646134353564373332646162653661313462636362623235393338643465663163373539346232303934",
"text": "75cebcb5db6ccce785ec87da455d732dabe6a14bccbb25938d4ef1c7594b2094",
"receiver_addresses": [
],
"sender_addresses": [
"mmHWy49WWGFQgmeZt7wYKvWSh7Szi9XQAm"
]
}
Is the code for the testnet differences within the most recent bitcoin github repo, or is it a separate repo I must download, compile, and point towards the testnet?
Some clarification on how this works would be great.
