552bc82b17961b86ae1964e817ba89ee7bfd985f doc: Use multipath descriptors in descriptors.md and linked test (Anurag chavan) Pull request description: Updates documentation and `wallet_miniscript_decaying_multisig_descriptor_psbt.py` to use single multipath descriptors with `<0;1>` syntax instead of separate external/internal descriptors. ## Changes - **doc/descriptors.md**: Update examples (lines 70-71) to use `/<0;1>/*` multipath syntax - **doc/descriptors.md**: Update Basic Multisig Example instructions (line 179) to use single multipath descriptor - **test/functional/wallet_miniscript_decaying_multisig_descriptor_psbt.py**: Refactor to use single multipath descriptor pattern matching `wallet_multisig_descriptor_psbt.py` ## Implementation - `_get_xpub()` now extracts external descriptor and converts to multipath format - `create_multisig()` imports single descriptor that expands to receive and change addresses - Removed fake checksums from documentation examples - Added clear comments documenting multipath convention Fixes #34086 ACKs for top commit: yashbhutwala: ACK 552bc82b17961b86ae1964e817ba89ee7bfd985f achow101: ACK 552bc82b17961b86ae1964e817ba89ee7bfd985f rkrux: lgtm tACK 552bc82 Tree-SHA512: cc99271a3955daa475242d9f4ef8f09f4c94c64e48ec4647ecfd95dceb38bb0cdd91b78ec2d5f033b449d175eaecbdda49d6c766c8a1e1a01fed93be4eb0cfc0
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 several hundred gigabytes or more of disk space. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to several days 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)bin/bitcoin(wrapper command)
The bitcoin command supports subcommands like bitcoin gui, bitcoin node, and bitcoin rpc exposing different functionality. Subcommands can be listed with bitcoin help.
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.
