README.md

Bitcoin Core 0.14.2

Setup

Bitcoin Core is the original Bitcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. However, it downloads and stores the entire history of Bitcoin transactions (which is currently several GBs); 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 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.

OS X

Drag Bitcoin-Core to your applications folder, and then run Bitcoin-Core.

Need Help?

See the documentation at the Bitcoin Wiki for help and more information.
Ask for help on #bitcoin on Freenode. If you don't have an IRC client use webchat here.
Ask for help on the BitcoinTalk forums, in the Technical Support board.

Building

The following are developer notes on how to build Bitcoin on your native platform. They are not complete guides, but include notes on the necessary libraries, compile flags, etc.

Development

The Bitcoin repo's root README contains relevant information on the development process and automated testing.

Resources

Discuss on the BitcoinTalk forums, in the Development & Technical Discussion board.
Discuss project-specific development on #bitcoin-core-dev on Freenode. If you don't have an IRC client use webchat here.
Discuss general Bitcoin development on #bitcoin-dev on Freenode. If you don't have an IRC client use webchat here.
