8888beea8d477b1d4a2dfd2a0bb5f686de62f3ff scripted-diff: fuzz: Rename fuzz_seed_corpus to fuzz_corpora (MarcoFalke) Pull request description: Now that cmake was a breaking change for all fuzz scripts, it seems fine to bundle it with another breaking change to rename the fuzz corpora directory, as discussed and approved in https://github.com/bitcoin-core/qa-assets/issues/200: * The word "seed" in the old name doesn't really apply. In reality it is a collection of fuzz input seeds, as well as fuzz inputs. * The rename will also allow in the future (when there is a need and desire) to provide a minimal set of possibly hand-crafted or otherwise non-fuzz-generated fuzz seed inputs to some fuzz targets (and possibly store them in a separate folder and validate that their format is still accurate and matches the fuzz target code). * Finally, "corpus" is renamed to corpora, to clarify that the folder holds the fuzz inputs for several fuzz targets.

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.
