Pull request description:

  While looking at issue #21351, it turned out that the problem was a lack of tor v3 addresses known to the node. It became clear (e.g. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/21351#issuecomment-811004779) that a CLI command returning the number of addresses the node knows per network (with a tor v2 / v3 breakdown) would be very helpful. This patch adds that.

  `-addrinfo` is useful to see if your node knows enough addresses in a network to use options like `-onlynet=<network>`, or to upgrade to the upcoming tor release that no longer supports tor v2, for which you'll need to be sure your node knows enough tor v3 peers.

  ```
  $ bitcoin-cli --help | grep -A1 addrinfo
    -addrinfo
         Get the number of addresses known to the node, per network and total.

  $ bitcoin-cli -addrinfo
  {
    "addresses_known": {
      "ipv4": 14406,
      "ipv6": 2511,
      "torv2": 5563,
      "torv3": 2842,
      "i2p": 8,
      "total": 25330
    }
  }

  $ bitcoin-cli -addrinfo 1
  error: -addrinfo takes no arguments
  ```

  This can be manually tested, for example, with commands like this:
  ```
  $ bitcoin-cli getnodeaddresses 0 | jq '.[] | (select(.address | contains(".onion")) | select(.address | length <= 22)) | .address' | wc -l
  5563
  $ bitcoin-cli getnodeaddresses 0 | jq '.[] | (select(.address | contains(".onion")) | select(.address | length > 22)) | .address' | wc -l
  2842
  $ bitcoin-cli getnodeaddresses 0 | jq '.[] | .address' | wc -l
  25330
  ```

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.
