9075d13153ce06cd59a45644831ecc43126e1e82 [docs] Add release notes for removal of REJECT reasons (John Newbery) 04a2f326ec0f06fb4fce1c4f93500752f05dede8 [validation] Fix REJECT message comments (John Newbery) e9d5a59e34ff2d538d8f5315efd9908bf24d0fdc [validation] Remove REJECT code from CValidationState (John Newbery) 0053e16714323c1694c834fdca74f064a1a33529 [logging] Don't log REJECT code when transaction is rejected (John Newbery) a1a07cfe99fc8cee30ba5976dc36b47b1f6532ab [validation] Fix peer punishment for bad blocks (John Newbery) Pull request description: We no longer send BIP 61 REJECT messages, so there's no need to set a REJECT code in the CValidationState object. Note that there is a minor bug fix in p2p behaviour here. Because the call to `MaybePunishNode()` in `PeerLogicValidation::BlockChecked()` only previously happened if the REJECT code was > 0 and < `REJECT_INTERNAL`, then there are cases were `MaybePunishNode()` can get called where it wasn't previously: - when `AcceptBlockHeader()` fails with `CACHED_INVALID`. - when `AcceptBlockHeader()` fails with `BLOCK_MISSING_PREV`. Note that `BlockChecked()` cannot fail with an 'internal' reject code. The only internal reject code was `REJECT_HIGHFEE`, which was only set in ATMP. This reverts a minor bug introduced in 5d08c9c579ba8cc7b684105c6a08263992b08d52.

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) orbin/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.
