Pull request description:

  This PR adds a `ban_duration` and `time_remaining` field to the `listbanned` RPC command. Thanks to jonatack, this PR also expands the `listbanned` test coverage to include these new fields

  It's useful to keep track of `ban_duration` as this is another data point on which to sort banned peers. I found this helpful in adding additional context columns to the GUI `bantablemodel` as part of a follow-up PR. As [suggested](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/21602#issuecomment-813486134) by jonatack, `time_remaining` is another useful user-centric data point.

  Since a ban always expires after its created, the `ban_created` field is now placed before the `banned_until` field. This new ordering is more logical.

  This PR also improves the `help listbanned` output by providing additional context to the descriptions of the `address`, `ban_created`, and `banned_until` fields.

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.
