Pull request description:

  #23508 added a new RPC named `getdeploymentinfo`, it moved the softfork section from `getblockchaininfo` into this new one. In the REST interface, we have an endpoint named`/rest/chaininfo.json` (which refers to `getblockchaininfo`), so, this PR adds a new REST endpoint named `/deploymentinfo` which refers to `getdeploymentinfo`.

  You can use it by passing a block hash, e.g: '/rest/deploymentinfo/<BLOCKHASH>.json' or you can use it without passing a block hash to get the 'deploymentinfo' for the last block.

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.
