Merge #14054: p2p: Disable BIP 61 by default 
faea5bfc5a doc: release notes for -enablebip61 default change (MarcoFalke)
fa14b54a87 p2p: Disable BIP 61 by default (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  The live p2p network should not be used for debugging or as development aid when implementing the p2p protocol. Instead, applications should be tested locally (e.g. by inspecting the debug log of a validating node on the local network)

  Using the p2p network for this purpose seems wasteful and even dangerous, as peers can not be trusted to send the correct reject messages or a reject message at all.

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 is currently more than 100 GBs); 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.
