Merge #15226: Allow creating blank (empty) wallets (alternative) 
7687f7873 [wallet] Support creating a blank wallet (Andrew Chow)

Pull request description:

  Alternative (kind of) to #14938

  This PR adds a `blank` parameter to the `createwallet` RPC to create a wallet that has no private keys initially. `sethdseed` can then be used to make a clean wallet with a custom seed. `encryptwallet` can also be used to make a wallet that is born encrypted.

  Instead of changing the version number as done in #14938, a wallet flag is used to indicate that the wallet should be blank. This flag is set at creation, and then unset when the wallet is no longer blank. A wallet becomes non-blank when a HD seed is set or anything is imported. The main change to create a blank wallet is primarily taken from #14938.

  Also with this, the term "blank wallet" is used instead of "empty wallet" to avoid confusion with wallets that have balance which would also be referred to as "empty".

  This is built on top of #15225 in order to fix GUI issues.

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.
