b1a8ac07e9doc: Release note for removed watchonly parameters and results (Ava Chow)15710869e1wallet: Remove ISMINE_WATCH_ONLY (Ava Chow)4439bf4b41wallet, spend: Remove fWatchOnly from CCoinControl (Ava Chow)1337c72198wallet, rpc: Remove watchonly from RPCs (Ava Chow)e81d95d435wallet: Remove watchonly balances (Ava Chow)d20dc9c6aawallet: Wallets without private keys cannot grind R (Ava Chow)9991f49c38test: Watchonly wallets should estimate larger size (Ava Chow) Pull request description: Descriptor wallets do not use the watchonly behavior as it is not possible to mix watchonly and non-watchonly in a descriptor wallet. With legacy wallets now removed, all of the watchonly handling and reporting code is no longer needed. This PR removes watchonly options and results from the RPCs and the handling of watchonly things from the wallet's internals. With all of the watchonly things removed, ISMINE_WATCH_ONLY is removed as well. Split from #32523 Depends on #32594 for tests that are easier to read ACKs for top commit: Eunovo: ACKb1a8ac07e9maflcko: re-ACKb1a8ac07e9🌈 rkrux: ACKb1a8ac07e9furszy: light code review ACKb1a8ac07e9Tree-SHA512: bc87f37a13294f7208991be8f93899b49e5bdf87c70e0f66d9c4cb09c03be6c202320406f27e9a35aa2f57319d19a3f0c07d5e5ddbc97c7edab165b1656d6612
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) orbin/bitcoind(headless)bin/bitcoin(wrapper command)
The bitcoin command supports subcommands like bitcoin gui, bitcoin node, and bitcoin rpc exposing different functionality. Subcommands can be listed with bitcoin help.
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.
