Wladimir J. van der Laan dd34570c45 doc: Improve windows build instructions using Linux subsystem
I did a build on a windows 10 laptop and took notes, and tried
to improve the document:

- It's the Linux subsystem for Windows, not the other way around.

- Split out dependencies: general ones, 64-bit, 32-bit. Remove the
  reference to `build-unix.md`, easy enough to be self-contained.

- Place 64-bit instructions first. 99% will want these.

- Installation instructions: recommend using `/` for prefix, same as we
  do on gitian builds. This will allow copying the files to a usable
  (from Windows) place using just `make DESTDIR=...`.

- Remove double spaces / consistent width reformatting.

where things are documented.
2016-11-02 18:19:43 +01:00
Gregory Maxwell fd46136dfa IBD check uses minimumchain work instead of checkpoints.
This introduces a 'minimum chain work' chainparam which is intended
 to be the known amount of work in the chain for the network at the
 time of software release.  If you don't have this much work, you're
 not yet caught up.

This is used instead of the count of blocks test from checkpoints.

This criteria is trivial to keep updated as there is no element of
subjectivity, trust, or position dependence to it. It is also a more
reliable metric of sync status than a block count.

unsystemizer 3421e74601 Clarify `listenonion`
> This new feature is enabled by default if Bitcoin Core is listening, and a connection to Tor can be made. It can be configured with the -listenonion, -torcontrol and -torpassword settings. To show verbose debugging information, pass -debug=tor.

But it is correct to say that the feature is enabled *regardless* of whether a connection to Tor can be made.

I propose to clarify that so that users can eliminate these in their logs (when `listen=1` and no Tor).
And I think it's okay to clarify about the `listen` option, because on several occasions when I read this before I always assumed `listening` meant `server=1` which cost me a lot of time in troubleshooting.

```

poole_party 7c1716f65d Documentation for Building on Windows with WSL
The new Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) allows a user to run a bash shell directly on Windows in an Ubuntu based environment.  This can be used to cross-compile Bitcoin directly on Windows without the need for a separate Linux VM or Server.  The instructions included in this commit explain how to configure the environment and build Bitcoin Core using this new feature.
