7013da07fbAdd release note for PR#25943 (David Gumberg)04f270b435Add test for unspendable transactions and parameter 'maxburnamount' to sendrawtransaction. (David Gumberg) Pull request description: This PR adds a user configurable, zero by default parameter — `maxburnamount` — to `sendrawtransaction`. This PR makes bitcoin core reject transactions that contain unspendable outputs which exceed `maxburnamount`. closes #25899. As a result of this PR, `sendrawtransaction` will by default block 3 kinds of transactions: 1. Those that begin with `OP_RETURN` - (datacarriers) 2. Those whose lengths exceed the script limit. 3. Those that contain invalid opcodes. The user is able to configure a `maxburnamount` that will override this check and allow a user to send a potentially unspendable output into the mempool. I see two legitimate use cases for this override: 1. Users that deliberately use `OP_RETURN` for datacarrier transactions that embed data into the blockchain. 2. Users that refuse to update, or are unable to update their bitcoin core client would be able to make use of new opcodes that their client doesn't know about.

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.
