Pull request description:

  Based on discussion and concept ACKed in #27138, add a `warnings` field to RPCs createwallet, loadwallet, unloadwallet, and restorewallet as a JSON array of strings to replace the `warning` string field in these 4 RPCs. The idea is to more gracefully handle multiple warning messages and for consistency with other wallet RPCs.  Then, deprecate the latter fields, which represent all the remaining RPC `warning` fields.

  The first commit f73782a903 implements https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27138#issuecomment-1474789198 as an alternative to #27138. One of those two could potentially be backported to our currently supported releases.

Bitcoin Core

Setup

Bitcoin Core is the original Bitcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Bitcoin transactions, which requires a few hundred gigabytes of disk space. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.

To download Bitcoin Core, visit bitcoincore.org.

Running

The following are some helpful notes on how to run Bitcoin Core on your native platform.

Unix

Unpack the files into a directory and run:

  • bin/bitcoin-qt (GUI) or
  • bin/bitcoind (headless)

Windows

Unpack the files into a directory, and then run bitcoin-qt.exe.

macOS

Drag Bitcoin Core to your applications folder, and then run Bitcoin Core.
