Pull request description:

  Addresses and closes #22368

  As per that issue (and its predecessor #14907), there seems to be some interest in allowing unspent outputs to be locked persistently. This PR does so by adding a flag to lockunspent to store the change in the wallet database. Defaults to false, so there is no change in default behaviour.

  Edit: GUI commit changes default behaviour. UTXOs locked/unlocked via the GUI are now persistent.

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.
