Post by: NotATether on October 19, 2021, 04:19:49 AM At the top of this very forum page is a link to download Bitcoin Core:
Quote News: Latest Bitcoin Core release: 22.0 [Torrent] You click the link under the number to go to the download page. What you do next depends on your OS: - On Windows and Mac there are installers on that page you download, install and run like a regular program. - On Linux there is a portable .tar.gz archive of Bitcoin Core you can extract and run in the terminal like this: Code: cd ~/Downloads/bitcoin-core Note: There is also a Windows .zip file that is portable and can be run using the same commands as above.

2. Install bitcoin core, set the data dir onto that SSD. 3. Allow inbound connections on your PC. 4. Forward the ports in your router. 5. Start bitcoind and leave it running 24/7 That's all. PS. SSD is necessary only for the start when almost 400 GB of data needs to be downloaded and on HDD it will take many long days; if you have enough patience, HDD will also do.
