Merge #16695: rpc: Add window final block height to getchaintxstats
d48c1e837a Add window final block height to getchaintxstats (Jonathan "Duke" Leto)

Pull request description:

  This patch is motivated by the desire to make the output of `getchaintxstats` more useful and optimized for applications to consume and render the data.

  Firstly, this data is already available to the RPC, no additional work is done. Currently additional RPC calls will be needed to look up the height of the final block in the window or the block height that began the window.

  By adding the block height of the final block in the window, the JSON is "self-contained" and applications can calculate the exact block height range of the window with no additional RPC requests.
  For example, a web application which wants to render historical information for `getchaintxstats` RPC on various window sizes might call the RPC with various window lengths, once per day, and store the JSON results somewhere. Because the final block height of each dataset is included, it's no extra work to determine the exact block window range of each JSON response.

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.
