Pull request description:

  Current backports for *0.21.1*.

  One conflict was in the test case.

ACKs for top commit:
  ajtowns:
    ACK 5a2d98c640 -- checked 'rebased-from' patches are in master, and rebased patches are clean rebases (except for the first one which changes `""s` to `std::string("")` to avoid c++17 dependency). commits seem fine, but haven't reviewed in detail.
  fanquake:
    ACK 5a2d98c640 - branched off `0.21` and redid the backports. Minor conflict in c33fbab25c. The diff between my branch and #20901 was just in release notes, `_CLIENT_VERSION_RC` (#20901 branched before 95ea54ba08) and #21490 which has already been merged into `0.21`.

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.
