Running a node on this branch and addnode-ing to 6 other Tor v3 nodes, I see "addrv2" and "sendaddrv2" messages in getpeerinfo in both the "bytesrecv_per_msg" and "bytessent_per_msg" JSON objects. sipa: ACKdcf0cb4776hebasto: re-ACKdcf0cb4776, the node works flawlessly in all of the modes: Tor-only, clearnet-only, mixed. laanwj: Edit: I have to retract this ACK for now, I'm having some problems with this PR on a FreeBSD node. It drops all outgoing connections with thisdcf0cb4776merged on master (12a1c3ad1a). ariard: Code Review ACKdcf0cb4Tree-SHA512: 28d4d0d817b8664d2f4b18c0e0f31579b2f0f2d23310ed213f1f436a4242afea14dfbf99e07e15889bc5c5c71ad50056797e9307ff8a90e96704f588a6171308
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.
