Some chunks of code and logic are no longer used/necessary with the removal of this, and therefore some minor refactoring is done in this PR as well (separated commits) ACKs for top commit: MarcoFalke: re-ACK43cd6b8af9🐉 meshcollider: Code review ACK43cd6b8af9jonatack: ACK43cd6b8af9per `git range-diffa9d0cec92dc5e9 43cd6b8`, also rebased to latest master, debug built + quick re-review of each commit to bring back context, and ran tests locally at the final commit Tree-SHA512: fba83495e396d3c06f0dcf49292f14f4aa6b68fa758f0503941fade1a6e7271cda8378e2734af1faea550d1b43c85a36c52ebcc9dec0732936f9233b4b97901c
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.
