Executive Summary

This is a bug fix release. In our 1.9.3 release we did not successfully publish all jars for the libraries. For more information see: https://github.com/bitcoin-s/bitcoin-s/issues/4725

This release drops support for Scala 2.12.x, which fixes this bug. It also updates some dependencies.

Running bitcoin-s

If you want to run the standalone server binary, after verifying gpg signatures, you can unzip bitcoin-s-server-1.9.4.zip and then run it with chmod +x ./bin/bitcoin-s-server && ./bin/bitcoin-s-server to start the node. You will need to configure the node properly first, you can find example configurations here.

You can then unzip the bitcoin-s-cli-1.9.4.zip folder and start using the bitcoin-s-cli like this:

./bin/bitcoin-s-cli --help
Usage: bitcoin-s-cli [options] [<cmd>]

  -n, --network <value>    Select the active network.
  --debug                  Print debugging information
  --rpcport <value>        The port to send our rpc request to on the server
  -h, --help               Display this help message and exit

For more information on what commands bitcoin-s-cli supports check the documentation, here is where to start: https://bitcoin-s.org/docs/next/applications/server#server-endpoints

Verifying signatures

This release is signed with Chris's signing key with fingerprint 9234F4D6AF47C71B741A390F8976CA0AF71A7A2A

To do the verification, first hash the executable using sha256sum. You should check that the result is listed in the SHA256SUMS.asc file next to its file name. After doing that you can use gpg --verify to authenticate the signature.

Example:

$ gpg -d SHA256SUMS.asc > SHA256SUMS.stripped
gpg: Signature made Mon 18 Apr 2022 02:19:54 PM CDT
gpg:                using RSA key 9234F4D6AF47C71B741A390F8976CA0AF71A7A2A
gpg: Good signature from "Chris Stewart <stewart.chris1234@gmail.com>" [ultimate]

$ sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS.stripped
