8053e5cdad Remove -mempoolreplacement to prevent needless block prop slowness. (Matt Corallo) Pull request description: At this point there is no reasonable excuse to disable opt-in RBF, and, unlike when this option was added, there are now significant issues created when disabling it (in the form of compact block reconstruction failures). Further, it breaks a lot of modern wallet behavior. This removes an option that is: * (a) only useful when a large portion of (other) miners enforce it as well * (b) is detrimental to everyone (income for miners, RBF notifications for others) who uses it individually otherwise * (c) is effectively unused * (d) is often confused with disabling RBF (rather than just remaining stubbornly unaware of it while the rest of the network lets it through) ACKs for commit 8053e5: practicalswift: utACK 8053e5cdade87550f0381d51feab81dedfec6c46 promag: Deprecation would save from unlikely rantings, still ACK 8053e5c. jtimon: utACK 8053e5cdade87550f0381d51feab81dedfec6c46 ajtowns: ACK 8053e5cdade87550f0381d51feab81dedfec6c46 -- quick code review, checked tests work MarcoFalke: ACK 8053e5cdade87550f0381d51feab81dedfec6c46 Tree-SHA512: 01aee8905b2487fc38a3a86649d422d2d2345bc60f878889ebda4b8680783e1f1a97c2000c27ef086719501be2abc2911b2039a259a5e5c04f3b24ff02b0427e
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.
