Merge #19754: wallet, gui: Reload previously loaded wallets on startup
f1ee37319a wallet: Reload previously loaded wallets on GUI startup (Andrew Chow)

Pull request description:

  Enable the GUI to also use the load_on_startup feature. Wallets loaded in the GUI always have load_on_startup=true. When they are unloaded from the GUI, load_on_startup=false.

  To facilitate this change, UpdateWalletSetting is moved into the wallet module and called from within LoadWallet, RemoveWallet, and Createwallet. This change does not actually touch the GUI code but rather the wallet functions that are shared between the GUI and RPC.

ACKs for top commit:
  jonasschnelli:
    Tested ACK f1ee37319a - works as expected. Wallets loaded via bitcoin-cli (in `-server` mode) or through the RPC console won't be loaded on startup but wallets loaded via the GUI menu will.
  kristapsk:
    ACK f1ee37319a, I have tested the code.

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.
