Bitcoin ABC no longer part of Bitcoin Cash. So, we all have to switch to Bitcoin Cash Node (https://bitcoincashnode.org/) (or Bitcoin Unlimited?).

However, right now when I run the Mempool Recorder with Bitcoin Cash Node it fails to start:

Reproduction Steps

ubuntu@ip:~$ /usr/bin/mempool_recorder bitcoincashnode.mempool_recorder.blocksci_config
Successfully connected to bitcoin node.
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'BitcoinException'
  what():  std::exception
Aborted (core dumped)
ubuntu@ip:~$

System Information

Blockchain: Bitcoin Cash

  1. I thought you should be aware of this news
  2. Is there something simple I am doing wrong—any possible fix from the BlockSci users' end?

Any news or commentary about, or roadmapping of, this?

If others are not experiencing this issue with the Mempool Recorder that too would be very helpful for me to know.
