Ethereum: Identifying Your Bitcoin Version

If you are using Ethereum (not Bitcoin) on your server, it is likely that the version number printed by ./bitcoind -version or similar commands is incorrect. In this article, we will walk you through a step-by-step process to identify the correct Ethereum version.

Why is Bitcoin Version Important?

Before we get to the solution, let’s quickly discuss why knowing your Bitcoin version is important:

• Compatibility: Some programs and services may require specific Bitcoin versions.

• Security: Using an old version of Bitcoin may expose you to security attacks.

• Optimization: Knowing the correct Bitcoin version can help optimize your server for better performance.

Step-by-step solution

• Run ./bitcoind -version and identify the version

• Open a terminal on your server and navigate to where ./bitcoind is.

• Run ./bitcoind -version and note the version printed (e.g. “Bitcoin: No version specified”).

• Check additional output

• You may see additional output indicating the specific Bitcoin version, such as:

• “Bitcoin: [Version number] (includes changes since 2018-01-21)”

• “Bitcoin: 0.15.2 (unstable) – unstable”

• Identify the correct version

• Look in the additional output for a mention of the correct version number.

• Check with ./bitcoind --version

• You can also use ./bitcoind --version to check the version without displaying it.

Sample Output and Explanation

Here is an example of what you might see after running ./bitcoind -version:

Bitcoin: 0.15.2 (unstable) - unstable

From this output we can identify that the correct version number is indeed “0.15.2”.

Tips and Precautions

• Make sure you are using the terminal or command line, rather than running ./bitcoind directly from the server.

• Some programs may require specific Bitcoin versions, so it is always a good idea to verify this.

By following these steps you should be able to identify the correct Ethereum version on your server. If you are still unsure or encounter any issues, feel free to ask!
