f280f5eb47wallet: rpc: deprecate removeprunedfunds (David Gumberg)e5b7785447test: wallet: resend: avoid internal behavior via removeprunedfunds (David Gumberg) Pull request description: Originally added in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/7558 as a companion to `importprunedfunds`, this RPC has no known helpful use while being both dangerous and a maintenance burden. Despite what the name says, it allows the deletion of arbitrary transactions, and `importprunedfunds` does not allow the importing of transactions not belonging to the user, and `listtransactions` does not list transactions not belonging to the wallet, so this RPC can only be used to delete transactions actually belonging to the wallet, and in the unlikely event that transactions not belonging to the wallet are present, they cause no harm except for occupying a few bytes on the users disk.

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.
