Merge #17264: rpc: set default bip32derivs to true for psbt methods
5bad7921d0b33b62c0a59a478c2e8c869fc5e3b5 [test] PSBT RPC: check that bip32_derivs are present by default (Sjors Provoost)

Pull request description:

  In https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/13557#pullrequestreview-135905054 I recommended not including bip32 deriviation by default in PSBTs:

  > _Bit of a privacy issue_: let's say person A and B are about to spend from a multisig address, sending everything to person A. Person A gives their address to person B, their wallet wallet creates a PSBT, but doesn't sign it. Wallet A then calls `walletprocesspsbt` which signs it and _spontaneously adds the master_fingerprint and bip32 path_. Same issue with `walletcreatefundedpsbt`.

  > Adding `bip32_derivs` should probably be opt-in.

  In practice I find this default quite annoying because I forget it and end up with a confused hardware wallet.

  More importantly, in the multisig example I provided, it's actually essential for the other side to know the derivation details (in addition to an xpub). This allows them to check that change is going to an address you can still co-sign for (because the spending policy is unchanged except for an index).

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.
