Closes #8973. Closes #16693. Default onion service target ports are: - 8334 on mainnnet - 18334 on testnet - 38334 on signet - 18445 on regtest To set the onion service target socket manually the extended `-bind` config option could be used: ``` $ src/bitcoind -help | grep -A 6 -e '-bind' -bind=<addr>[:<port>][=onion] Bind to given address and always listen on it (default: 0.0.0.0). Use [host]:port notation for IPv6. Append =onion to tag any incoming connections to that address and port as incoming Tor connections (default: 127.0.0.1:8334=onion, testnet: 127.0.0.1:18334=onion, signet: 127.0.0.1:38334=onion, regtest: 127.0.0.1:18445=onion) ``` Since [pr19991.02 update](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/19991#issuecomment-698882284) this PR is an alternative to #19043.

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.
