ddddffda3adoc: Add doc/release-notes-35836.md (MarcoFalke)fa7fe798c6wallet: Remove meaningless bool fallback in FundTransaction (MarcoFalke) Pull request description: This mostly removes a no-op and meaningless bool fallback in the `fundrawtransaction` RPC. This allows to remove a `skip_type_check`. This makes validating the JSON schema from https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/34683 more consistent. Adding the type check here is useful, because: * The fallback was added inaf4fe7fd12(more than a decade ago). Retaining backwards compat with more than 10-year old clients seems purely theoretical. There were other breaking RPC changes on shorter notice in the meantime. If someone really forgot to update this over the last 10 years, I don't see a downside of notifying them. * The compat only works for positional args, which seems another small reason to drop it. * The compat is now fully irrelevant and a no-op, given that watch-only wallet is not a concept anymore after commit1337c72198. * Keeping the compat means that openrpc spec users do not get any type checks at all here.

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 several hundred gigabytes or more of disk space. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to several days 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)bin/bitcoin(wrapper command)
The bitcoin command supports subcommands like bitcoin gui, bitcoin node, and bitcoin rpc exposing different functionality. Subcommands can be listed with bitcoin help.
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.
