Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#25504: RPC: allow to track coins by parent descriptors 
a6b0c1fcc0 doc: add releases notes for 25504 (listsinceblock updates) (Antoine Poinsot)
0fd2d14454 rpc: add an include_change parameter to listsinceblock (Antoine Poinsot)
55f98d087e rpc: output parent wallet descriptors for coins in listunspent (Antoine Poinsot)
b724476158 rpc: output wallet descriptors for received entries in listsinceblock (Antoine Poinsot)
55a82eaf91 wallet: allow to fetch the wallet descriptors for a given Script (Antoine Poinsot)

Pull request description:

  Wallet descriptors are useful for applications using the Bitcoin Core wallet as a backend for tracking coins, as they allow to track coins for multiple descriptors in a single wallet. However there is no information currently given for such applications to link a coin with an imported descriptor, severely limiting the possibilities for such applications of using multiple descriptors in a single wallet. This PR outputs the matching imported descriptor(s) for a given received coin in `listsinceblock` (and friends).

  It comes from a need for an application i'm working on, but i think it's something any software using `bitcoind` to track multiple descriptors in a single wallet would have eventually. For instance i'm thinking about the BDK project. Currently, the way to achieve this is to import raw addresses with labels and to have your application be responsible for wallet things like the gap limit.

  I'll add this to the output of `listunspent` too if this gets a few Concept ACKs.

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.
