Description
Description
Change links and references in the docs to run an Ethereum node from parity to openethereum, and change these references in the code too.
Motivation
Currently, docs about running an Ethereum node states that you can use parity-ethereum, but the project is no longer maintained.
There's also lots of comments and bits mentioning this in the code.
Justification
parity-ethereum is no longer maintained since more than a year and has been moved to openethereum
parity-ethereum can still be subject to bugs and vulnerabilities, so we should encourage users running nodes to use the openethereum project instead of parity.
