124e1ee1343f8bfb3748393ced9debdbdee60d3b doc: Add release notes for getindexinfo RPC (Fabian Jahr) c447b09458c89c946957a211a4f5373b92af44bf test: Add tests for getindexinfo RPC (Fabian Jahr) 667bc7a7f7c5d9a15eaf6957c3d8841a75efa7bc rpc: Add getindexinfo RPC (Fabian Jahr) Pull request description: As I was playing with indices a I was missing an RPC that gives information about the active indices in the node. I think this can be helpful for many users, especially since there are some new index candidates coming up (#14053, #18000) that can give a quick overview without the user having to parse the logs. Feature summary: - Adds new RPC `listindices` (placed in Util section) - That RPC only lists the actively running indices - For each index it gives the name, whether it is synced and up to which block height it is synced ACKs for top commit: laanwj: Re-ACK 124e1ee1343f8bfb3748393ced9debdbdee60d3b jonatack: Code review re-ACK 124e1ee per `git range-diff a57af89 47a5372 124e1ee` no change since my last re-ACK, rebase only Tree-SHA512: 3b7174c87951e6457fef099f530337803906baf32fb64261410b8def2c0917853d6a1bf3059cd590b1cc1523608f8916dafb327a431d27ecbf8d7454406b5b35
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.
