Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#28363: doc: Add offline signing tutorial
3c208cc05e Add offline signing tutorial (Brandon Odiwuor)

Pull request description:

  This PR adds offline signing tutorial. Fixes https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/9492

  Although there currently exists tutorials on external-signer and on multisig implemented on #24519  . The external-signer tutorial assumes a connected device and the multisig tutorial is only for multisig transactions and does not include using an offline wallet

  - The tutorial uses signet(instead of regtest) to be as close as possible to mainnet

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.
