e80259f1976545e4f1ab6a420644be0c32261773 Additionally treat Tx.nVersion as unsigned in joinpsbts (Matt Corallo) 970de70bdd3542e75b73c79b06f143168c361494 Dump transaction version as an unsigned integer in RPC/TxToUniv (Matt Corallo) Pull request description: Consensus-wise we already treat it as an unsigned integer (the only rules around it are in CSV/locktime handling), but changing the underlying data type means touching consensus code for a simple cleanup change, which isn't really worth it.

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.
