fa09cb41f5refactor: Remove unused LogPrint (MarcoFalke)3333415890scripted-diff: LogPrint -> LogDebug (MarcoFalke) Pull request description: `LogPrint` has many issues: * It seems to indicate that something is being "printed", however config options such as `-printtoconsole` actually control what and where something is logged. * It does not mention the log severity (debug). * It is a deprecated alias for `LogDebug`, according to the dev notes. * It wastes review cycles, because reviewers sometimes point out that it is deprecated. * It makes the code inconsistent, when both are used, possibly even in lines right next to each other (like in `InitHTTPServer`) Fix all issues by removing the deprecated alias. I checked all conflicting pull requests and at the time of writing there are no conflicts, except in pull requests that are marked as draft, are yet unreviewed, or are blocked on feedback for other reasons. So I think it is fine to do now.

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.
