c6d1b8de89d87fe4fd171dc85557299e429e6564 gui: change example address from legacy (P2PKH) to bech32m (P2TR) (Sebastian Falbesoner)
Pull request description:
Legacy addresses are less and less common these days and not recommended to use, so it seems senseful to also reflect that in the example addresses and update to the most recent address / output type (bech32m / P2TR). Also, as I couldn't see any value in computing these at runtime, they are pre-generated. This was done with the following Python script, executed in `./test/functional` (it's also included in the commit body, though without the she-bang):
```python
#!/usr/bin/env python3
from test_framework.segwit_addr import CHARSET, decode_segwit_address, encode_segwit_address
from test_framework.messages import sha256
output_key = sha256(b'bitcoin dummy taproot output key')
for network, hrp in [('mainnet', 'bc'), ('signet', 'tb'), ('testnet', 'tb'), ('regtest', 'bcrt')]:
dummy_address = encode_segwit_address(hrp, 1, output_key)
while decode_segwit_address(hrp, dummy_address) != (None, None):
last_char = CHARSET[(CHARSET.index(dummy_address[-1]) + 1) % 32]
dummy_address = dummy_address[:-1] + last_char
print(f'{network:7} example address: {dummy_address}')
```
Note that the last bech32 character is modified in order to make the checksum fail.

This directory contains the source code for the Bitcoin Core graphical user interface (GUI). It uses the Qt cross-platform framework.
The current precise version for Qt 5 is specified in qt.mk.
Compile and run
See build instructions: Unix, macOS, Windows, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD
When following your systems build instructions, make sure to install the Qt dependencies.
To run:
./src/qt/bitcoin-qt
Files and Directories
forms/
- A directory that contains Designer UI files. These files specify the characteristics of form elements in XML. Qt UI files can be edited with Qt Creator or using any text editor.
locale/
- Contains translations. They are periodically updated and an effort is made to support as many languages as possible. The process of contributing translations is described in doc/translation_process.md.
res/
- Contains graphical resources used to enhance the UI experience.
test/
- Functional tests used to ensure proper functionality of the GUI. Significant changes to the GUI code normally require new or updated tests.
bitcoingui.(h/cpp)
- Represents the main window of the Bitcoin UI.
*model.(h/cpp)
- The model. When it has a corresponding controller, it generally inherits from QAbstractTableModel. Models that are used by controllers as helpers inherit from other Qt classes like QValidator.
- ClientModel is used by the main application
bitcoinguiand several models likepeertablemodel.
*page.(h/cpp)
- A controller.
:NAMEpage.cppgenerally includes:NAMEmodel.handforms/:NAME.page.uiwith a similar:NAME.
*dialog.(h/cpp)
- Various dialogs, e.g. to open a URL. Inherit from QDialog.
paymentserver.(h/cpp)
- (Deprecated) Used to process BIP21 payment URI requests. Also handles URI-based application switching (e.g. when following a bitcoin:... link from a browser).
walletview.(h/cpp)
- Represents the view to a single wallet.
Other .h/cpp files
- UI elements like BitcoinAmountField, which inherit from QWidget.

Using Qt Creator as an IDE
Qt Creator is a powerful tool which packages a UI designer tool (Qt Designer) and a C++ IDE into one application. This is especially useful if you want to change the UI layout.
Download Qt Creator
On Unix and macOS, Qt Creator can be installed through your package manager. Alternatively, you can download a binary from the Qt Website.
Note: If installing from a binary grabbed from the Qt Website: During the installation process, uncheck everything except for Qt Creator.
macOS
brew install qt-creator
Ubuntu & Debian
sudo apt-get install qtcreator
