Merge #10267: New -includeconf argument for including external configuration files
25b7ab9 doc: Add release notes for -includeconf (Karl-Johan Alm)
0f0badd test: Test includeconf parameter. (Karl-Johan Alm)
629ff8c -includeconf=<path> support in config handler, for including external configuration files (Karl-Johan Alm)

Pull request description:

  Fixes: #10071.

  Done:
  - adds `-includeconf=<path>`, where `<path>` is relative to `datadir` or to the path of the file being read, if in a file
  - protects against circular includes
  - updates help docs

  ~~~Thoughts:~~~
  - ~~~I am not sure how to test this in a neat manner. Feedback on this would be nice. Will dig/think though.~~~

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 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.

OS X

Drag Bitcoin-Core to your applications folder, and then run Bitcoin-Core.
