backward compatibility with old nodes #491

Closed jaonoctus closed 1 year ago

jaonoctus commented 2 years ago

I have some really old bitcoin nodes (eg v0.12) and I could not run the explorer on top of it

pointbiz commented 2 years ago

Maybe not the answer you are expecting but did you try version 2.2?

Version 3+ has changes that support rpc changes in Core that occurred after version 0.21 of Core.

@pointbiz np, thank you for replying!

The node is still in IBD. I remember that the old version wont load until the Core get synced or something like that, right?

Cleaning up old issues. If you're still having this problem using the latest code (3.4-beta or greater), feel free to reply.
