MarcoFalke e1e36309bf Merge #14684 : [doc] conf: Remove deprecated options from docs, Other cleanup

fa4da3c058 [doc] conf: Remove deprecated options from docs, Other cleanup (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  Some dumb fixes, like removing the mention that free transactions are still a thing or that rpcuser/pass should be used (as opposed to rpcauth or rpc cookie).

  Combined with other fixes because I don't want to create 3 pull requests:
  * conf: Remove deprecated options from docs
  * Remove only mention of MIT/X11
  * Link to developer notes in README.md

macOS Build Instructions and Notes

The commands in this guide should be executed in a Terminal application. The built-in one is located in /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app.

Preparation

Install the macOS command line tools:

xcode-select --install

When the popup appears, click Install.

Then install Homebrew.

Base build dependencies

brew install automake libtool pkg-config

If you want to build the disk image with make deploy (.dmg / optional), you need RSVG

brew install librsvg

Building

It's possible that your PATH environment variable contains some problematic strings, run

export PATH=$(echo "$PATH" | sed -e '/\\/!s/ /\\ /g') # fix whitespaces

Next, follow the instructions in build-generic

Disable-wallet mode

When the intention is to run only a P2P node without a wallet, Bitcoin Core may be compiled in disable-wallet mode with:

./configure --disable-wallet

In this case there is no dependency on Berkeley DB 4.8.

Mining is also possible in disable-wallet mode using the getblocktemplate RPC call.

Running

Dash Core is now available at ./src/dashd

Before running, you may create an empty configuration file.

touch "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/DashCore/dash.conf"

chmod 600 "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/DashCore/dash.conf"

The first time you run dashd, it will start downloading the blockchain. This process could take several hours.

You can monitor the download process by looking at the debug.log file:

tail -f $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/DashCore/debug.log

Other commands:

./src/dashd -daemon # Starts the dash daemon.
./src/dash-cli --help # Outputs a list of command-line options.
./src/dash-cli help # Outputs a list of RPC commands when the daemon is running.
