The `labels` field is altered from returning JSON objects to returning a JSON array of label names (re-enable previous behavior for this release using the configuration parameter `-deprecatedrpc=labelspurpose`). Backwards compatibility using the deprecated configuration parameters is expected to be dropped in the 0.21 release. (#17585, #17578) ``` ACKs for top commit: Sjors: utACK bc01f7a adamjonas: utACK bc01f7a meshcollider: utACK bc01f7ae0538d3c647ce8dfbc29f7914d5df3fbb Tree-SHA512: ae1af381e32c4c3bde8b061a56382838513a9a82c88767843cdeae3a2ab8aa7d8c2e66e106d2b31ea07d74bb80c191a2f842c9aaecc7c5438ad9a9bc66d1b251
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.
