Pull request description:

  Adds a release note for TRUC policy which will be live in v28.0.

  For clarity, replaces mentions of "v3" with "TRUC" in most places. Suggested in

  I changed error strings from "v3-violation" to "TRUC-violation" but left v3 in the debug strings because I think it might be clearer for somebody who is debugging. Similarly, I left some variables unchanged because I think they're more descriptive this way, e.g. `tx_v3_from_v2_and_v3`. I'm happy to debate places that should or shouldn't be documented differently in this PR, whatever is clearest to everyone.

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) or
  • bin/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.
