Make XOnlyPubKey act like byte container (Pieter Wuille) Pull request description: This is a subset of #21365, to aide review. This adds support `tr(KEY)` or `tr(KEY,SCRIPT)` or `tr(KEY,{{S1,{{S2,S3},...}},...})` descriptors, describing Taproot outputs with specified internal key, and optionally any number of scripts, in nested groups of 2 inside `{`/`}` if there are more than one. While it permits importing `tr(KEY)`, anything beyond that is just laying foundations for more features later. Missing: * Signing support (see #21365) * Support for more interesting scripts inside the tree (only `pk(KEY)` is supported for now). In particular, a multisig policy based on the new `OP_CHECKSIGADD` opcode would be very useful. * Inferring `tr()` descriptors from outputs (given sufficient information). * `getaddressinfo` support. * MuSig support. Standardizing that is still an ongoing effort, and is generally kind of useless without corresponding PSBT support. * Convenient ways of constructing descriptors without spendable internal key (especially ones that arent't trivially recognizable as such).

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.
