Core: August recap

Core

Hello Dev-Shibes!

See this small recap of what happened last month (August 2026) on the Dogecoin Core Wallet!

Focus was on network hardening — specifically making it harder for a single actor to hog inbound connection slots.

Pruning and txindex

Core

Reduce disk capacity for nodes running services

To make Dogecoin as accessible as possible it would be cool to enable pruning (after disk space is increasing rapidly) and make it compatible with txindex (to still allow to query transactions directly on your full node).

Right now this is prevented:

// if using block pruning, then disallow txindex
if (GetArg("-prune", 0)) {
if (GetBoolArg("-txindex", DEFAULT_TXINDEX))
return InitError(_("Prune mode is incompatible with -txindex."));
}

Maybe it could be made possible
