Merge #21398: doc: Update fuzzing docs for afl-clang-lto
fab633d2dbfed1efcc3a02061685d56327ae51fd doc: Update fuzzing docs for afl-clang-lto (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  Update the docs to default to `afl-clang-lto`. The afl-gcc (and other afl legacy fuzz engines) are still supported, though discouraged.

    ACK fab633d2dbfed1efcc3a02061685d56327ae51fd - seems to work for me. Compiled and ran some fuzzers using Clang 11 on Bionic. Set `llvm-config` so that `clang-11` would be used over `clang` (10).

    ACK fab633d2dbfed1efcc3a02061685d56327ae51fd, tested on Ubuntu Focal

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.
