Pull request description:

  `guix-verify` expects `all.SHA256SUMS` but `guix-attest` produces `codesigned.SHA256SUMS`. Since `all.SHA256SUMS` makes more sense (as the file contains all the sha256sums, not just the codesigned ones), `guix-attest` has been changed to output a file of that name.

  As a quality of life improvement, `guix-verify` can take `SIGNER` and use the signer's manifest as the base to compare against. This makes it easier to compare a single person's attestations with everyone else's and can make it more obvious when one builder is clearly mismatching with everyone else.

  Lastly `release-process.md` is updated with a note about a gotcha that can cause a mismatch in the codesigned attestation.

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.
