Releases: btcsuite/btcd
v0.24.2
This release includes important bug fixes related to subtle interactions related to re-orgs and the UTXO set cache. These fixed are considered security critical.
This release also includes implementations of invalidateblock
and reconsiderblock
which can be useful in helping nodes that were afflicted by the aforementioned bugs to recover without needing to resync the entire chain.
WIth this release, btcd
now also implements the testmempoolaccept
RPC which can be useful to check a transaction candidate for validity from a policy and conflict perspective before broadcasting. Along the way, we've added some additional policy checks that exist in other Bitcoin full node implementations.
This release also contains fixes to some parsing issues discovered via fuzz testing.
Finally, as mentioned above release includes important security fixes, with full details to be disclosed in 90 days.

Full Changelog: v0.24.0...v0.24.2-beta.rc1
btcd v0.24.0
This release is a major release that includes several general bug fixes, security bug fixes (please update!), and also a series of performance improvements that dramatically reduce the time for initial block download from ~45 hours+ to around 6 hours! With this release,btcd
now also supports BIP 155 and has gained support for pruning (--prune=MiB
).
Verifying the Release
In order to verify the release, you'll need to have gpg
or gpg2
installed on your system. Once you've obtained a copy (and hopefully verified that as well), you'll first need to import the keys that have signed this release if you haven't done so already:
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/master/scripts/keys/roasbeef.asc | gpg --import
Once you have the required PGP keys, you can verify the release (assuming manifest-roasbeef-v0.24.0.sig
and manifest-v0.24.0.txt
are in the current directory) with:
gpg --verify manifest-roasbeef-v0.24.0.sig manifest-v0.24.0.txt
You should see the following if the verification was successful:
gpg: Signature made Sat Dec 30 17:11:22 2023 PST
gpg: using RSA key 60A1FA7DA5BFF08BDCBBE7903BBD59E99B280306
gpg: Good signature from "Olaoluwa Osuntokun <laolu32@gmail.com>" [ultimate]
That will verify the signature of the manifest file, which ensures integrity and authenticity of the archive you've downloaded locally containing the binaries. Next, depending on your operating system, you should then re-compute the sha256
hash of the archive with shasum -a 256 <filename>
, compare it with the corresponding one in the manifest file, and ensure they match exactly.

As of this release, our release binaries are fully reproducible thanks to go1.13
! Third parties are now able to verify that the release binaries were produced properly without having to trust the release manager(s). See our reproducible builds guide for how this can be achieved. The release binaries are compiled with go1.16.5
, which is required by verifiers to arrive at the same ones.
Finally, you can also verify the tag itself with the following command:
git verify-tag v0.22.0-beta
You should see something along the lines of this in the case of a valid tag:
gpg: Signature made Tue 08 Jun 2021 09:42:52 AM EDT
gpg: using DSA key 0DB39EAF526568682088EEDFB15210D35378BD54
gpg: Good signature from "John C. Vernaleo <john@netpurgatory.com>" [ultimate]
Building the Contained Release
Users are able to rebuild the target release themselves without having to fetch any of the dependencies. In order to do so, assuming that vendor.tar.gz
and btcd-source-v0.22.0-beta.tar.gz
are in the current directory, follow these steps:
tar -xvzf vendor.tar.gz
tar -xvzf btcd-source-v0.22.0.tar.gz
GO111MODULE=on go install -v -mod=vendor
GO111MODULE=on go install -v -mod=vendor ./cmd/btcctl
The -mod=vendor
flag tells the go build
command that it doesn't need to fetch the dependencies, and instead, they're all enclosed in the local vendor directory.
Additionally, it's also possible to use the enclosed release.sh
script to bundle a release for a specific system like so:
BTCBUILDSYS="linux-arm64 darwin-amd64" ./build/release/release.sh

btcd v0.21.0-beta
This release of btcd
is primarily to act as a catchup for the various changes that have accumulated and to help move back to a more regular schedule.
Verifying the Release
In order to verify the release, you'll need to have gpg
or gpg2
installed on your system. Once you've obtained a copy (and hopefully verified that as well), you'll first need to import the keys that have signed this release if you haven't done so already:
Once you have the required PGP keys, you can verify the release (assuming manifest-v0.21.0-beta.txt
and manifest-v0.21.0-beta.txt.sig
are in the current directory) with:
gpg --verify manifest-v0.21.0-beta.txt.sig
You should see the following if the verification was successful:
gpg: assuming signed data in 'manifest-v0.21.0-beta.txt'
gpg: Signature made Fri 28 Aug 2020 12:40:24 PM EDT
gpg: using DSA key 0DB39EAF526568682088EEDFB15210D35378BD54
gpg: Good signature from "John C. Vernaleo <john@netpurgatory.com>" [ultimate]
That will verify the signature of the manifest file, which ensures integrity and authenticity of the archive you've downloaded locally containing the binaries. Next, depending on your operating system, you should then re-compute the sha256
hash of the archive with shasum -a 256 <filename>
, compare it with the corresponding one in the manifest file, and ensure they match exactly.
Verifying the Release Binaries
As of this release, our release binaries are fully reproducible thanks to go1.13
! Third parties are now able to verify that the release binaries were produced properly without having to trust the release manager(s). See our reproducible builds guide for how this can be achieved. The release binaries are compiled with go1.14
, which is required by verifiers to arrive at the same ones.
Finally, you can also verify the tag itself with the following command:
git verify-tag v0.21.0-beta
You should see something along the lines of this in the case of a valid tag:
gpg: Signature made Fri 28 Aug 2020 09:58:10 AM EDT
gpg: using DSA key 0DB39EAF526568682088EEDFB15210D35378BD54

btcd v0.20.1-beta
This is a minor release of btcd
that fixes some bugs in the p2p sub-system, and also updates relevant parts of btcjson
to be compatible with bitciond 0.19
.
Verifying the Release
In order to verify the release, you'll need to have gpg
or gpg2
installed on your system. Once you've obtained a copy (and hopefully verified that as well), you'll first need to import the keys that have signed this release if you haven't done so already:
curl https://keybase.io/roasbeef/pgp_keys.asc | gpg --import
Once you have the required PGP keys, you can verify the release (assuming manifest-v0.20.1-beta.txt
and manifest-v0.20.1-beta.txt.sig
are in the current directory) with:
gpg --verify manifest-v0.20.1-beta.txt.sig
You should see the following if the verification was successful:
gpg: assuming signed data in 'manifest-v0.20.1-beta.txt'
gpg: Signature made Tue Nov 12 19:08:07 2019 PST
gpg: using RSA key 4AB7F8DA6FAEBB3B70B1F903BC13F65E2DC84465
gpg: Good signature from "Olaoluwa Osuntokun <laolu32@gmail.com>" [ultimate]
That will verify the signature of the manifest file, which ensures integrity and authenticity of the archive you've downloaded locally containing the binaries. Next, depending on your operating system, you should then re-compute the sha256
hash of the archive with shasum -a 256 <filename>
, compare it with the corresponding one in the manifest file, and ensure they match exactly.

, which is required by verifiers to arrive at the same ones.
Finally, you can also verify the tag itself with the following command:
