missing bitcoin-cli

The issue is here. In the release archives of 0.9.1 version, there is bitcoin-cli. In 0.9.3 there is not.

@lvaccaro @vincenzopalazzo please have a look

Thanks to report it. It could be a good time also to update the bitcoind binaries

I was able to manually install bitcoin-cli from the 0.9.1 archive (since I already needed lightningd version 0.9.3 because its internal databases were upgraded once I ran it).

The reason for running LAMP against local network bitcoind node is to make updates faster. When my LAMP becomes 30k blocks behind, it is almost impossible to sync over Esplora plugin.

I agree, it looks quite unusable performing the sync when you miss so much blocks without an external service (other than esplora). An external font of data is a trust tradeoff but it could be necessary for these scenarios.

Is this still alive?
