dc55531087478d01fbde4f5fbb75375b672960c3 wallet: compare address returned by displayaddress (Sjors Provoost)
6c1a2cc09a00baa6ff3ff34455c2243b43067fb5 test: use h marker for external signer mock (Sjors Provoost)
Pull request description:
* HWI returns the requested address: as a sanity check, we now compare that to what we expected
* external signer documentation now reflects that HWI alternatives must implement this check
* both RPC and GUI will now return an error text, rather than just fail (the GUI even failed silently in some cases)

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) orbin/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.
