Pull request description:

  Removes the `-salvagewallet` startup option and adds a `salvage` command to the `bitcoin-wallet` tool. As such, `-salvagewallet` is removed. Additionally, the automatic salvage that is done if the wallet file fails to load is removed.

  Lastly the salvage code entirely is moved out entirely into `bitcoin-wallet` from `walletdb.{cpp/h}` and `db.{cpp/h}`.

ACKs for top commit:
  jonatack:
    ACK 84ae0578b6 feedback taken, and compared to my previous review, the bitcoin-wallet salvage command now seems to run and it exits without raising. The new test passes at both 9454105 and 84ae057 so as a sanity check I'd agree there is room for improvement, if possible.
  MarcoFalke:
    re-ACK 84ae0578b6 🏉
  Empact:
    Code Review ACK 84ae0578b6
  ryanofsky:
    Code review ACK 84ae0578b6. Lot of small changes since previous review: added verify step before salvage, added basic test in new commit, removed unused scanstate variable and warnings parameter, tweaked various comments and strings, moved fsuccess variable declaration
  meshcollider:
    Concept / light code review ACK 84ae0578b6

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.
