260f8da71a35232d859d7705861fc1a88bfbbe81 refactor: remove warnings globals (stickies-v) 9c4b0b7ce459765fa1a63b410c3423b90f0d2a5f node: update uiInterface whenever warnings updated (stickies-v) b071ad9770b7ae7fc718dcbfdc8f62dffbf6cfee introduce and use the generalized `node::Warnings` interface (stickies-v) 20e616f86444d00712ac7eb840666e2b0378af4a move-only: move warnings from common to node (stickies-v) bed29c481aebeb2b0160450c63c03cc68fb89bc6 refactor: remove unnecessary AppendWarning helper function (stickies-v) Pull request description: This PR: - moves warnings from common to the node library and into the node namespace (as suggested in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29845#discussion_r1570069541) - generalizes the warnings interface to `Warnings::Set()` and `Warnings::Unset()` methods, instead of having a separate function and globals for each warning. As a result, this simplifies the `kernel::Notifications` interface. - removes warnings.cpp from the kernel library - removes warning globals - adds testing for the warning logic Behaviour change introduced: - the `-alertnotify` command is executed for all `KernelNotifications::warningSet` calls, which now also covers the `LARGE_WORK_INVALID_CHAIN` warning - the GUI is updated automatically whenever a warning is (un)set, covering some code paths where it previously wouldn't be, e.g. when `node::AbortNode()` is called, or for the `LARGE_WORK_INVALID_CHAIN` warning Some discussion points: - ~is `const std::string& id` the best way to refer to warnings? Enums are an obvious alternative, but since we need to define warnings across libraries, strings seem like a straightforward solution.~ _edit: updated approach to use `node::Warning` and `kernel::Warning` enums._ ACKs for top commit: achow101: ACK 260f8da71a35232d859d7705861fc1a88bfbbe81 ryanofsky: Code review ACK 260f8da71a35232d859d7705861fc1a88bfbbe81.

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.
