Bitcoin Core release files are hosted at [https://bitcoincore.org/bin/](https://bitcoincore.org/bin/) and distributed via torrent.

## Build Suffixes

- **Standard Binaries** (`.tar.gz`, `.zip`, `-setup.exe`): Production-ready binaries for general use.
- **`-debug`**: Debug symbols split from the standard binaries, for use in backtrace generation.
- **`-unsigned`**: Raw Guix build outputs. Used to audit reproducibility against signed releases.
- **`-codesigning`**: Intermediate artifacts for macOS/Windows signing ceremonies. Not for end-users.
- **Source**: `bitcoin-<version>.tar.gz` (no platform string). For manual compilation.
