Pull request description:

  Currently, we successfully parse descriptors which contains spaces in the beginning or end of the public/private key within a fragment (e.g. `pk( KEY)`, `pk(KEY )` or `pk( KEY )`). I have noticed that one of the reasons is that the `DecodeBase58` function simply ignore these whitespaces.

  This PR changes the `ParsePubkeyInner ` to reject pubkeys that contain a whitespace at the beginning and/or at the end. We will only check the whitespace in some RPCs (e.g. `importdescriptors`), but an already imported descriptor won't be affected by this check, especially because we store descriptors from `ToString`.

  For context: https://github.com/brunoerg/bitcoinfuzz/issues/72

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 several hundred gigabytes or more of disk space. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to several days 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.
