759d94e70fUpdate zmq notification documentation and sample consumer (Gregory Sanders)68c3c7e1bdAdd functional tests for zmq sequence topic and mempool sequence logic (Gregory Sanders)e76fc2b84dAdd 'sequence' zmq publisher to track all block (dis)connects, mempool deltas (Gregory Sanders)1b615e61bfzmq test: Actually make reorg occur (Gregory Sanders) Pull request description: This PR creates a new ZMQ notifier that gives a "total hash history" of block (dis)connection, mempool addition/substraction, all in one pipeline. It also exposes a "mempool sequence number" to both this notifier and `getrawmempool` results, which allows the consumer to use the results together without confusion about ordering of results and without excessive `getrawmempool` polling. See the functional test `interfaces_zmq.py::test_mempool_sync` which shows the proposed user flow for the client-side tracking of mempool contents and confirmations. Inspired by https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/19462#issuecomment-656140421 Alternative to https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/19462 due to noted deficiencies in current zmq notification streams. Also fixes a legacy zmq test that didn't actually trigger a reorg because of identical blocks being generated on each side of the split(oops) ACKs for top commit: laanwj: Code review ACK759d94e70fTree-SHA512: 9daf0d7d996190f3a68ff40340a687519323d7a6c51dcb26be457fbc013217ea7b62fbd0700b74b654433d2e370704feb61e5584399290692464fcfcb72ce3b7
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.
