Bitcoin Core 32 to launch October 10: new fee estimates and faster validation
- —Bitcoin Core 32.0 release is set for October 10, with the test cycle starting September 14
- —The second fee estimator analyzes the mempool and lowers recommended fees faster
- —Block validation uses 8 threads by default to speed up synchronization
- —A walletnotify vulnerability that allowed command execution via wallet name has been closed
Why it matters: The update lowers fees for users and speeds up node operation, but operators must install the security patch.
