fa4a922d78 qa: Add test for missing testnet section in conf file (MarcoFalke)
dddd6f0f58 init: Throw error when network specific config is ignored (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  This should have no effect on mainnet users, but simplifies testing, where config settings are currently ignored with only a warning. Fix this by making it an error.

  Issues:
  *  bitcoin client 0.17.0 ignores wallet's name (file) #14523
  *  Can't set custom rpcport on testnet #13777
  * ...

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.
