fa7e311e16 [doc] rpcwallet: Only fail rescan when blocks have been pruned (MarcoFalke)
aaaa57c2aa scripted-diff: Bump copyright headers in wallet (MarcoFalke)
faf3729242 wallet: Only fail rescan when blocks have actually been pruned (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
This brings the behaviour of the import* calls closer to importmulti. After this change, the difference between importmulti and the other import* calls is
* that in importmulti you can "opt-out" of scanning early blocks by setting a later timestamp.
* that in importmulti the wallet will successfully import the data, but fail to rescan. Whereas in the other calls, the wallet will abort before importing the data.

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.
