Stale wording scan
Archived: this is a dated scan log. Its recorded findings are historical and its former readiness recommendations are not current.
Summary
Section titled “Summary”This page tracks stale wording scans before invite-only review.
The scan is meant to catch wording that sounds more complete, official, tested, active, or verified than the current evidence supports.
This page is a checklist and scan record. It is not BitcoinII protocol documentation.
Scan goals
Section titled “Scan goals”Before private review, search for wording that may imply:
- MoreBC2 is official BitcoinII documentation.
- Draft pages are complete.
- Source-reviewed commands are locally tested.
- Ecosystem resources are active without direct checks.
- Release files are verified without direct review.
- Source values from
mainautomatically match the current release tag. - Public APIs can replace running a local node for service workflows.
- BitcoinII uses unverified consensus behavior.
Terms and phrases to scan
Section titled “Terms and phrases to scan”| Search term | Why it matters | Desired handling |
|---|---|---|
Verified |
Could be overused or too strong | Confirm each use is a status label, evidence level, or explicitly justified. |
official |
Could imply project endorsement | Only use with source evidence or when saying MoreBC2 is not official. |
active |
Could imply live ecosystem status | Require direct check and date when used for services. |
recommended |
Could imply endorsement | Use only with evidence or clear planning context. |
safe |
Could imply security guarantee | Prefer specific tested context or caution wording. |
tested |
Could imply local command record | Require command or review record. |
production |
Could imply deploy-ready guidance | Keep Draft unless tested and reviewed. |
exchange-grade |
Strong service claim | Use only for standards, not current status unless checked. |
public launch |
Avoid implying current readiness | Keep in blocker/readiness context only. |
copy/paste |
Command risk | Confirm examples are marked untested unless tested. |
active explorer |
Time-sensitive ecosystem claim | Require direct check. |
active pool |
Time-sensitive ecosystem claim | Require direct check. |
active exchange |
Time-sensitive ecosystem claim | Require direct check. |
Dark Gravity Wave |
Known risk of unsupported consensus claim | Keep as not implemented unless source proves otherwise. |
Review checklist
Section titled “Review checklist”For each flagged phrase, decide:
- Is the wording accurate for Draft/Partial status?
- Does the page have a verification block?
- Does the claim link to a source, test record, or verification tracker?
- Should the claim be softened?
- Should it move to Research, Discussion, History, or Verification?
- Should an open question be added?
Scan record
Section titled “Scan record”| Date | Search term / concern | Files checked | Issues found | Fix commit | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-06-30 | official / public-ready wording | README.md, docs/README.md, PROJECT_STATUS.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, docs/REVIEW_HANDOFF.md, docs/LEGAL_REUSE.md |
No blocking issue found after recent wording updates | Earlier commits in review-prep pass | Current wording says MoreBC2 is not official and not public-ready. |
| 2026-06-30 | command tested / source-reviewed distinction | README.md, docs/README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, docs/verification/README.md |
No blocking issue found in orientation pages | Earlier commits in command-labeling pass | Orientation pages point readers to command-test status and warn source-reviewed does not mean locally tested. |
| 2026-06-30 | license / reuse assumptions | README.md, docs/README.md, docs/LEGAL_REUSE.md, docs/REVIEW_HANDOFF.md |
No blocking issue found after legal/reuse note | Earlier legal/reuse commit | Current docs say private-review only until license decision. |
| 2026-06-30 | active ecosystem/API claims | docs/ecosystem/README.md, docs/ecosystem/apis.md, docs/documentation/explorer-resources.md |
No blocking issue found in framework pages | Earlier API framework commit | Framework pages avoid listing live services as active. |
| 2026-06-30 | exchange/service command and confirmation wording | docs/exchange/deposit-monitoring.md, docs/exchange/service-integration-checklist.md |
Deposit-monitoring page needed clearer command-test link and current observed source-link cleanup | 8e7c539 |
Deposit commands now labeled as placeholder examples and linked to command-testing status. |
| 2026-06-30 | wallet sensitive-command wording | docs/wallets/wallet-guide.md |
No blocking issue found | No change | Wallet guide already labels wallet commands as untested and cautions sensitive/state-changing commands. |
| 2026-06-30 | mining pool/software and DGW wording | docs/mining/mining-overview.md |
No blocking issue found | No change | Mining overview explicitly avoids DGW, pool, miner software, profitability, and tested-command claims. |
| 2026-06-30 | ecosystem active/official/recommended wording | docs/ecosystem/explorers.md, docs/ecosystem/mining-pools.md, docs/ecosystem/exchanges.md, docs/ecosystem/wallets.md |
Wallet ecosystem page had stale release path and stale release-process link | c109759 |
Wallet listing now distinguishes current observed release URL from legacy/redirected URL and links release verification pages. |
| 2026-06-30 | node/config/RPC source-link path check | docs/nodes/node-guide.md, docs/configuration/configuration-overview.md, docs/configuration/rpc-configuration.md |
Older repository source links found and updated | 8e4a749, 062686f, b1272f8 |
Links now use current observed repository path and include canonical-path caveats. |
| 2026-06-30 | old repository path search | repository search for BitcoinII-Dev/BitcoinII |
No remaining matches returned by repository search after updates | No further change | Search results are useful but not as strong as a local grep. |
| 2026-06-30 | developer workflow wording | docs/developers/local-development.md, docs/developers/build-system.md, docs/developers/testing.md, docs/developers/release-verification.md, docs/developers/release-process.md |
Release-process page had stale release list and old release path | a5aaf58 |
Developer workflow pages keep build, test, and release-check examples unverified. |
| 2026-06-30 | Source Atlas chain parameters and PoW wording | docs/developers/source-atlas/chainparams-cpp.md, docs/developers/source-atlas/pow-cpp.md |
Chainparams had stale BIP9 warning height and stale chain-data snapshot values; PoW needed current source links and release-comparison note | df138fa, 72b0e75 |
Chainparams now labels snapshot-style fields by source version and records v29.1.0 values. PoW now links current observed source and keeps DGW unsupported. |
| 2026-07-01 | Source Atlas cleanup | targeted Source Atlas pages | Known old source path and stale BIP9 value searches returned no results after targeted cleanup | Recent Source Atlas cleanup commits | Updated wallet, RPC, startup, mempool, miner, hash, and block primitive pages with current observed source links and release-versus-main open items. |
| 2026-07-02 | Status-label and too-strong verified wording | release, project overview, what-is, dashboard, evidence, mining, checkpoint docs | Several headings and labels sounded stronger than evidence supported | Multiple cleanup commits | Reworded headings from verified/current-style claims to source-backed or observed wording. |
| 2026-07-02 | Command/example safety audit follow-up | docs/developers/rpc-overview.md, docs/configuration/configuration-overview.md, STYLE_CONVENTIONS.md |
No high-priority unsafe examples found; several headings/examples needed clearer untested/source-observed framing | 45b2d436, 2b9678f, 7cae416 |
RPC/config headings now avoid Verified wording. Style conventions now say illustrative commands are untested unless a test record exists. |
| 2026-07-02 | Release page recheck wording | docs/documentation/releases.md, docs/developers/release-verification.md |
Release page showed v29.1.0 with GitHub Latest marker, but visible timestamp lacked year and asset names/checksums/signatures were incomplete | 2ad1838, 0a2e384 |
Current release-page observations are recorded without inferring exact year. Binary/release artifact verification remains incomplete. |
| 2026-07-02 | Network/P2P first-pass navigation | Source Atlas, coverage, architecture, reading-order, repo-map, source-tree pages | New network source slices needed to be visible without implying live testing or final protocol specification | Recent network navigation commits | Navigation now links source-observed slices and keeps caveats around release comparison and live tests. |
| 2026-07-02 | Network specifications stale values and old path | docs/documentation/network-specifications.md |
Page still had old repository path and stale chain-data/BIP9 values | 24dbf62 |
Updated source links, corrected MinBIP9WarningHeight, updated moving chain-data values, added network Source Atlas links, and kept Needs Review status. |
| 2026-07-04 | Release and ecosystem framework catch-up | docs/documentation-coverage.md, PROJECT_STATUS.md, docs/verification/known-unknowns.md, docs/verification/open-questions.md, docs/verification/README.md, ecosystem pages, release docs |
Dashboards needed synchronization after latest release inventory and ecosystem direct-check planning work | ccbd224, 21484d2, 46ad5d9, 1714923 |
Coverage, status, known unknowns, and open questions now point toward actual blockers instead of more broad framework deepening. |
| 2026-07-04 | Targeted repository search attempt | searches for active, official, tested, Verified, BitcoinII-Dev/BitcoinII, and combined release/status terms |
GitHub search returned no matches for those targeted terms in the repo search interface | No content fix from search | Treat this as a weak scan only. A local grep or more reliable code search is still recommended before broad review. |
| 2026-08-27 | Canonical-source, release, and RPC factual synchronization | source registry; reader-critical documentation, node, exchange, developer, and verification/status pages; local full-checkout search | 46 legacy-repository-path occurrences included stale operational links, historical evidence, and search/audit records; exchange material still documented an older release and presented generated RPC material without the dated runtime distinction | docs/factual-synchronization working branch |
Operational links now use Bitcoin-II/BitcoinII-Core; v29.1.0 is the current documented release; 12 legacy-path occurrences remain only as explicitly historical, redirected, archived-audit, or search-needle context; RPC wording separates inherited/generated 8332, the local v29.1.0 Windows/mainnet 8337 observation, and unresolved universal behavior. No page status label was changed. |
Still to scan
Section titled “Still to scan”The main orientation, service-facing, developer workflow, Source Atlas source-link cleanup, status-label cleanup, network-navigation refresh, network-specification cleanup, release cleanup, and ecosystem framework cleanup passes are now in decent shape.
Still scan next:
- Remaining command-shaped examples across the repo.
- Release asset pages once full artifact data is captured.
- Ecosystem pages after live checks begin.
- Remaining old-path references with a stronger local grep or export-based search.
Known acceptable uses
Section titled “Known acceptable uses”Some terms are acceptable in limited contexts:
Verifiedin evidence/status definitions.officialwhen saying MoreBC2 is not official.activewhen describing an active chain or active tip in architecture, or in ecosystem-check labels with dated evidence.safewhen saying a workflow is not yet safe to publish or needs testing.public launchin readiness/blocker pages.
Next actions
Section titled “Next actions”- Run a stronger local grep or repository export search when available.
- Start the first narrow private-review assignment.
- Continue release asset inventory when artifact data is available.
- Continue ecosystem checks when live service review is requested.

Verification
Section titled “Verification”Status: Draft Primary sources checked: Current MoreBC2 review workflow, coverage dashboard, targeted orientation/exchange/wallet/mining/ecosystem pages, release docs, ecosystem direct-check framework, node/configuration pages, repository search attempts, developer workflow pages, Source Atlas source-ref scan, recent network Source Atlas/navigation pages, and network specifications page Notes: This page records targeted stale-wording passes. The latest catch-up scan used GitHub repository search and should be followed later by a stronger local grep or repository export search.
