Run with Bitcoin

Help Needed with Bitcoin Core Command-Line Tools Setup
Namaste Y'all!
I'm currently setting up Bitcoin Core on my Mac and need some help with getting the command-line tools (like bitcoin-cli) to work. Here’s the situation:
I have Bitcoin Core installed, but I downloaded the GUI version from the official Bitcoin Core website. ( like i had a choice)
When I open the Bitcoin-Qt app, I can use the graphical interface, but I can’t find bitcoin-cli to interact with the Bitcoin network through the command line.
I found the Bitcoin-Qt.app in my Downloads folder, and I believe it's just the GUI version, not the full version with CLI tools.
I tried checking in the Contents/MacOS/ directory inside the app, but I couldn’t find bitcoin-cli or bitcoind.
Questions:
How can I check if the command-line tools are included with my current installation?
If they’re not included, what’s the best way to get bitcoin-cli and bitcoind working?
Would you recommend reinstalling Bitcoin Core with the full version (which includes both GUI and CLI tools), or is there an easier way to install just the CLI tools?
Setup:
Bitcoin Core GUI is already installed in /Users/Downloads/Bitcoin-Qt.app
Running pruned node for space efficiency.
What I’ve Tried:
I’ve already checked the app bundle for bitcoin-cli and bitcoind under Contents/MacOS, but no luck.
Looking for an easy solution to get the CLI tools up and running without taking up too much disk space.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance

so,
One of Bitcoin’s weirdest engineering tricks! 🎩✨
Bitcoin did increase the block size with SegWit in 2017 but they can’t officially call it that because of backward compatibility with old nodes.
👉 It’s still called a "1 MB block" for old nodes.
👉 It actually stores up to ~4 MB of data.
👉 This works because Bitcoin Core changed how block space is "counted" (Weight Units instead of bytes).

Its still 1 mb block ?
A milllion bytes
Did the block weight increase , instead of the size ?
Am in a loop, thank your for your patience
I am able understand segwith is like a pouch that has the signatures
Does it mean all the signatures of that particular block are in this single pouch? where 1 b = 1 wu ?
We just segregated them and measured it as wu, and now we have more transactions in the block.
But in reality more space on ur hard sisk is being consumed, so how is it still 1 mb block ?

The theory change created the space ?

2025-02-08 07:23:56 GMT

So by calling it WU and seperatting the signatures. We have magically created more space?

2025-02-08 07:20:52 GMT

- reply

so we changed the way we count. But the space taken on the block is similiar?

2025-02-08 07:14:00 GMT

Gm , please help , I am in a loop.
If SegWit didn’t remove any data and signatures are still stored in the block, how does Bitcoin fit more transactions per block? Before SegWit, every byte was counted equally, but after SegWit, witness data (signatures) is counted at 1 WU per byte instead of 4 WU per byte. The block limit changed from 1 MB to 4,000,000 WU, allowing more transactions to fit. How did Bitcoin create more space?
Thank you

Crazy World-
This is a crazy world we live in. In my village, most people don’t even know that $70 billion was created in just four hours, and yet we talk about quantitative easing like it’s an abstract concept. My village, my city, my country all of us just got devalued, not by natural forces, but by people creating "wealth" through their presence, reach, and connections.
If the Gutenberg Printing Press once spread the gospel of politics and religion, today it’s Twitter shaping narratives and power dynamics. Not through Instagram or Facebook, but by sharing on X.
This transformation affects every country and every common person. Wealth is siphoned from the poor and the real value creators, only to be rerouted to the rich, who have access to technology and capitalize on it.
Maybe we’re already living in Gotham City. But where is Batman now?
I feel sick to my stomach thinking about this about the FOMO (fear of missing out) and the millions of people like me experiencing the same. Is this wealth we see moving around truly the product of collective human effort? Or is it created by the wealthy, who are always chasing the next big investment?
Good Lord, where does this stop? This will be front-page news worldwide when he takes the oath of office. Just as we follow the S&P 500 as a benchmark for financial markets, humanity may soon be following a $100 billion meme coin as a symbol of speculative wealth.
"Oblivion is bliss," they say. But I say, "Oblivious is poor."
The divide between rich and poor has become the yardstick of life itself.
This reality should be taught in schools how power, technology, and wealth work in tandem to shape our world. Only then can we prepare the next generation to question, innovate, and fight for a fairer system.

Your nursery school teacher may not have made it as big as you in life, but your life was built on the foundation of knowledge she gave you. Let us not compare ourselves with our guiding light. If you remove the sun from the rays, nothing will remain. If you remove the mud from the pot, nothing will remain. If you remove the cause from the effect, nothing remains. If we remove the teachings of our teachers from us, nothing of us will remain.
The maths teacher wrote ‘1000’ on the board and asked the student who was constantly disturbing the class, “How much is this?” Confident, yet embarrassed by the simplicity of the question, the boy replied, “One thousand.” Now the teacher added a zero to the right and pointing at ‘10000’ asked, “How much is this?” “Ten thousand,” came the prompt reply. Now the teacher added another zero, but this time to the left of ‘1’ and pointing at ‘010000’ again enquired, “How much now?” “The same … ten thousand, ” the boy replied. The teacher smiled, winked and then said, “When an insignificant number follows a significant number, it gains value. When the same insignificant number tries to go ahead of the significant number, then it has no value.
So is the relationship between a teacher and a student. When a student follows the teacher, he gains value. The other way round … well, I don’t want to state the obvious.”
The greatness of a coach is to show the player how capable he is. The greatness of a player is to live up to the capability he has been shown.

Think of surplus in the hands of Mother Teresa. Also think of surplus resources in the hands of Osama.
My call is to all good human beings to put their hands up and be counted in building a fraternity of prosperous people … good people who will not sell their conscience. Let’s not leave behind a single sat for evil forces. Let us weaken them. Let us take financial control. Let us build a financial surplus. You may not need so much. So what? Let us use it to build a better world.
Let me be categorical. Every good human being has the moral responsibility to be rich.

Let us learn to face the truth, even if it hurts. Let those who matter to us the most learn to face the truth, even if it hurts. Communicate your thoughts and feelings directly to the person who instigated it. Be prompt. Don’t wait for ideal conditions. Be simple. Finish your complaint and let go. Don’t exaggerate, don’t nag; avoid overkill. If the person feels with you, you have succeeded. If not, understand who you are dealing with. Accept what is. Forgive and let go of your hurt. Move on … You have nothing to prove.

Truly, frankness in itself is never the problem; it is the bluntness with which our frankness is conveyed that causes the problem. Human beings are fundamentally creatures of emotions, not logic. Our frankness may have (a strong MAY HAVE) some logic in it, but the bluntness with which it is communicated emotionally ruffles other people. A wounded heart incapacitates the comprehending capabilities of the mind.

Of all the creations, man alone, supposedly the supreme of all creations, speaks the language of death. Man alone utters, believes and follows the language of death, which is I CAN’T. Research shows it is so because every human being, before he attains the age of 14, has been told by his parents, teachers, society and peer group about 1,48,000 times on an average, “YOU CAN’T”. His environment has hammered into him about 1,48,000 times that “HE CAN’T”

Mother earth never pampers; so the seed had to first penetrate outside-in into the soil to root itself and then penetrate inside-out to shoot its presence. When it was a fragile plant, any animal could have grazed it, any kid could have uprooted it.
Then the droughts, floods and pests. It had to withstand it all - the test of time, and the trial of circumstances - to become the majestic tree it now is. It isn’t just a tree but a profound sense of history.

up every morning a little early and keeps you awake a little late and
fills every minute in between with the depths of passion.
In anything and everything give that ‘extra’ and thus live an

Swami Vivekananda said,
“Education is not the amount of information that is put into your brain and runs riot there, undigested, all your life. We must have life-building, man-making, character-making assimilation of ideas. If you have assimilated five ideas and made them your life and character, you have more education than any man who has got by heart a whole library. We want that education by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, the intellect is expanded, and by which one can stand on one’s own feet.”
