I will download the bitcoin core to my laptop.  My laptop has a 512 GB SSD and a Ryzen 5 5600U. I will start downloading it from today. NotATether My post is over 50. After 14 days my activity will increase.

Day 01:

Progress: (valid as of the creation date of this post)

Legend:

†Indicates a bitcoin node failure or some other reason which I have been made aware of. Members who are absent for too long will be removed without notice and will have to start over if they want to rejoin.

*Indicates a person who has not submitted a report for a long time. Please do so immediately to avoid getting removed without notice.

#Indicates a person whose report was not processed because it is incorrect. Usually this is because you misnumbered your days. Please fix your report as soon as possible.

Report generation is semi-automated now, so if you see any error in the progress report like your name isn't listed correctly, and so on, please let me know so I can fix it.

Please do not quote this post when you type your status reports. It makes compiling this list slightly harder.

If you don't meet the minimum rank requirements, your post will be ignored.

Congratulations to dimonstration for completing the challenge!
