Merge #16171: Remove -mempoolreplacement to prevent needless block prop slowness.
8053e5cdad Remove -mempoolreplacement to prevent needless block prop slowness. (Matt Corallo)

Pull request description:

  At this point there is no reasonable excuse to disable opt-in RBF,
  and, unlike when this option was added, there are now significant
  issues created when disabling it (in the form of compact block
  reconstruction failures). Further, it breaks a lot of modern wallet
  behavior.

  This removes an option that is:

  * (a) only useful when a large portion of (other) miners enforce it as well
  * (b) is detrimental to everyone (income for miners, RBF notifications for others) who uses it individually otherwise
  * (c) is effectively unused
  * (d) is often confused with disabling RBF (rather than just remaining stubbornly unaware of it while the rest of the network lets it through)

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.
