Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#23093: Add ability to flush keypool and always flush when upgrading non-HD to HD 
6531599f42 test: Add check that newkeypool flushes change addresses too (Samuel Dobson)
84fa19c77a Add release notes for keypool flush changes (Samuel Dobson)
f9603ee4e0 Add test for flushing keypool with newkeypool (Samuel Dobson)
6f6f7bb36c Make legacy wallet upgrades from non-HD to HD always flush the keypool (Samuel Dobson)
2434b10781 Fix outdated keypool size default (Samuel Dobson)
22cc797ca5 Add newkeypool RPC to flush the keypool (Samuel Dobson)

Pull request description:

  This PR makes two main changes:
  1) Adds a new RPC `newkeypool` which will entirely flush and refill the keypool.
  2) When upgradewallet is called on old, non-HD wallets upgrading them to HD, we now always flush the keypool and generate a new one, to immediately start using the HD generated keys.

  This PR is motivated by a number of users with old, pre-compressed-key wallets upgrading them and being confused about why they still can't generate p2sh-segwit or bech32 addresses -- this is due to uncompressed keys remaining in the keypool post-upgrade and being illegal in these newer address formats. There is currently no easy way to flush the keypool other than to call `getnewaddress` a hundred/thousand times or an ugly hack of using a `sethdseed` call.

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.
