Russell Yanofsky b604c5c8b5 wallet: Minimal fix to restore conflicted transaction notifications
This fix is a based on the fix by Antoine Riard <ariard@student.42.fr> in
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/18600.

Unlike that PR, which implements some new behavior, this just restores previous
wallet notification and status behavior for transactions removed from the
mempool because they conflict with transactions in a block. The behavior was
accidentally changed in two `CWallet::BlockConnected` updates:
a31be09bfd and
7e89994133 from
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/16624, causing issue
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/18325.

The change here could be improved and replaced with a more comprehensive
cleanup, so it includes a detailed comment explaining future considerations.

Fixes #18325

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.
