3b613722f6Add release notes for fee est with replacement txs (Antoine Poinsot)4556406562qa: test fee estimation with replacement transactions (Antoine Poinsot)053415b297qa: split run_test into smaller parts (Antoine Poinsot)06c5ce9714Re-include RBF replacement txs in fee estimation (Antoine Poinsot) Pull request description: This effectively reverts #9519. RBF is now largely in use on the network (signaled for by around 20% of all transactions on average) and replacement logic is implemented in most end-user wallets. The rate of replaced transactions is also expected to rise as fee-bumping techniques are being developed for pre-signed transaction ("L2") protocols.

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.
