Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#22654: guix: Don't include directory name in SHA256SUMS 
132cae44f2 doc: Mention the flat directory structure for uploads (Andrew Chow)
fb17c99e35 guix: Don't include directory name in SHA256SUMS (Andrew Chow)

Pull request description:

  The SHA256SUMS file can be used in a sha256sum -c command to verify downloaded binaries. However users are likely to download just a single file and not place this file in the correct directory relative to the SHA256SUMS file for the simple verification command to work. By not including the directory name in the SHA256SUMS file, it will be easier for users to verify downloaded binaries.

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.
