Excuse me, I'm just wondering if bitcoind still functions as an RPC (Remote Procedure Call) server? I've heard some rumors that it might have been deprecated or replaced by newer alternatives. Could you please clarify if this is still the case, and if so, what would be the recommended way to interact with a Bitcoin node through RPC in the current ecosystem? I'm asking because I'm looking to integrate RPC functionality into a project I'm working on and want to ensure I'm using the most up-to-date and reliable methods.

Could you please explain the process of setting up and running a Bitcoin server using RPC (Remote Procedure Call)? I'm interested in understanding the steps required to get started, including any necessary software, configuration settings, and potential security considerations. Is there a specific operating system that is recommended for this purpose, or is it compatible with a variety of platforms? Additionally, could you provide some insight into the benefits and limitations of using RPC with a Bitcoin server? Thank you in advance for your guidance.
