7f122a4188fuzz: non-addrman fuzz tests: override-able check ratio (Vasil Dimov)3bd83e273dfuzz: addrman fuzz tests: override-able check ratio (Vasil Dimov)46b0fe7829test: non-addrman unit tests: override-able check ratio (Vasil Dimov)81e4d54d3atest: addrman unit tests: override-able check ratio (Vasil Dimov)6dff6214bebench: put addrman check ratio in a variable (Vasil Dimov)6f7c7567c5fuzz: parse the command line arguments in fuzz tests (Vasil Dimov)92a0f7e58dtest: parse the command line arguments in unit tests (Vasil Dimov) Pull request description: Previously command line arguments passed to unit and fuzz tests would be ignored by the tests themselves. They would be used by the boost test framework (e.g. `--run_test="addrman_tests/*"`) or by the fuzzer (e.g. `-runs=1`). However both provide ways to pass down the extra arguments to the test itself. Use that, parse the arguments and make them available to the tests via `gArgs`. This makes the tests more flexible as they can be run with any bitcoind config option specified on the command line. When creating `AddrMan` objects in tests, use `-checkaddrman=` (if provided) instead of hardcoding the check ratio in many different places. See https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/20233#issuecomment-889813074 for further motivation for this.

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.
