<p>The "51bad91" may be a bit misleading here, it's just coincidence that it says "bad".

<p>I believe that just means that the most recent commit on the 0.15 branch (the <code>15bad91</code> commit) was not tagged (i.e. part of the actual 0.15 or 0.15.0.1 release, it is on that branch in preparation for 0.15.0.2).</p>

<p>After compiling Bitcoin Core following their guidelines I get a "dirty" version as seen in the screenshot below.</p>

<pre><code>git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
cd bitcoin
sudo git checkout 0.15
sudo ./autogen.sh
sudo ./configure LDFLAGS="-L/root/bitcoin/db4/lib/" CPPFLAGS="-I/root/bitcoin/db4/include/"
sudo make -s -j5
sudo make install
</code></pre>

<p>I also am unable to get the node listed on <code>https://bitnodes.21.co</code> and I presume it's because of this? Using the normal Bitcoin Core node bitcoin.org has already compiled works fine in that regard.</p>

<p>Why is it doing this and how can I compile a normal version? It does the same if I compile 0.14</p>

The "51bad91" may be a bit misleading here, it's just coincidence that it says "bad". It's actually just the most recent commit on the 0.15 branch, <https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/commit/51bad9195eb435200626beccbaf6b60774a4a894>

I believe that just means that the most recent commit on the 0.15 branch (the `15bad91` commit) was not tagged (i.e. part of the actual 0.15 or 0.15.0.1 release, it is on that branch in preparation for 0.15.0.2).

Thus you should be able to avoid the -dirty suffix by checking out the version tag rather than the branch, i.e. checkout v0.15.0.1
