Possible To –enable-wallet After Syncronization With Blockahin?

Possible To –enable-wallet After Syncronization With Blockahin?

I am running bitcoind from the command line (--without-gui) and my system apparently does not have the correct Berkley DB version (4.8+). Therefore, I chose to run the program without the wallet enabled (--disable-wallet) so that Berkley DB would not be required. What I am now wondering however, is if I sync the entire blockchain (300GB+) and at some point want to --enable-wallet, will I be able to do so without any incompatibility issues? Furthermore, how can I update to the correct version of Berkley DB (4.8+) so that I can --enable-wallet. I already ran the script $home/bitcoin/contrib/install_db4.sh which did…

How to get info for public address from bitcoin-cli + local db? (Can it be done without creating a wallet?)

I just started running my own full node. IBD is finished, and I'm now learning how to use bitcoin-cli. First I would like to extract all the available information for one or more public addresses from the downloaded blockchain. For the most part 1, I have not been able to find a way to do this that does not require creating a wallet. For example, if I run % bitcoin-cli getaddressinfo 1XPTgDRhN8RFnzniWCddobD9iKZatrvH4 ...I get an error message that says error code: -18 error message: No wallet is loaded. Load a wallet using loadwallet or create a new one with createwallet.…

Setting up lightning with bitcoin-core

I have some questions about bitcoin-core and lightning-network-daemon. I have succesfully set up a bitcoin node running on Ubuntu Server 20.04 by following this tutorial: https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node. This is my node: https://bitnodes.io/nodes/81.166.125.218-8333/ I am planning on installing lnd using bitcoind as the backend, by following this tutorial: https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/docs/INSTALL.md In this regard, I have the following questions: What is the relationship between my bitcoin-core wallet and the lnd wallet? What fee should I set to make my lnd node as profitable as possible? What other recommendations can you give to help out a bitcoin- and lnd-noob like me? Thanks in advance for…

Problem making multisig PSBT on walletcreatefundedpsbt

Change difficulty using bitcoin-cli/bitcoind in regtest mode

Is there an RPC command which would allow me to generate blocks under a given difficulty? For instance, I would like to do something like this: bitcoind -daemon -regtest bitcoin-cli -regtest setdifficulty 100 bitcoin-cli -regtest generatetoaddress 101 bcrt1qlckxrvk56kezy35xuw3tk5w5gkvnmjl0cahw3u bitcoin-cli -regtest setdifficulty 1 bitcoin-cli -regtest generatetoaddress 101 bcrt1qlckxrvk56kezy35xuw3tk5w5gkvnmjl0cahw3u I am aware that it would result in an invalid blockchain, since it would not match the expected target recalculation of the Bitcoin protocol. This "detail" aside, is there any way to use bitcoind/bitcoin-cli to perform something like this?

Stopping bitcoind on mac

One of my kids while learning more about bitcoin started bitcoind on my mac. Now I am unable to stop it. In my activity monitor, it shows a process named "bitcoind". I have stopped that process from the activity monitor various times but that doesn't help. It starts again after some time or in the next boot session. It has been taking a lot of my laptop space (>100gb). I am running low on space and I need to stop it now. This has been happening regularly. As a temporary solution, I used to go to /Users/[name]/Library/Application Support/ and delete…

Importaddress and conf

I'm wondering if its possible to add imported addresses into the bitcoin conf file. So, rather than calling the cli with importaddress, I would add the address to the conf file, with say, importaddress=1123345678A Is this supported in the conf file?

How to extract all the bitcoin addresses with bitcoin-cli?

I am trying to get all existing addresses on the bitcoin blockchain with bitcoin-cli. It seems that I can get addresses from vout that are of type "pubkeyhash". If the type of vout is "pubkey" there are no addresses. pubkeyhash type: "vout": [ { "value": 0.00000001, "n": 0, "scriptPubKey": { "asm": "OP_DUP OP_HASH160 b04e3fb6f6c96ba23233c809e42d8e6a0e0e31ca OP_EQUALVERIFY OP_CHECKSIG", "hex": "76a914b04e3fb6f6c96ba23233c809e42d8e6a0e0e31ca88ac", "reqSigs": 1, "type": "pubkeyhash", "addresses": [ "1H5DfbDtCnKUdke9xH9svwwxqga41Z5xbz" ] } } pubkey type: "vout": [ { "value": 50.63517500, "n": 0, "scriptPubKey": { "asm": "04b0bd634234abbb1ba1e986e884185c61cf43e001f9137f23c2c409273eb16e6537a576782eba668a7ef8bd3b3cfb1edb7117ab65129b8a2e681f3c1e0908ef7b OP_CHECKSIG", "hex": "4104b0bd634234abbb1ba1e986e884185c61cf43e001f9137f23c2c409273eb16e6537a576782eba668a7ef8bd3b3cfb1edb7117ab65129b8a2e681f3c1e0908ef7bac", "type": "pubkey" } } Is there an easy way to get ALL the addresses on the…

Distrubuted multi sig spend – transaction signed from different locations?

I'm trying to learn more about doing multi sig transactions. The examples I've seen show the signing of the transaction with 2 of 3, or 3 of 3, where the signatures are added, essentially, at the same time, and same place. I'm wondering how does one, using rpc or cli, perform a multi sig spend from physically separate machines? How does a signee know that there is a transaction that he/she needs to sign? Can a 2-of-3 transaction, that initially only contains 1 sig be broadcast then updated by 2nd or 3rd signatory?

signmessage and verifymessage CLI commands not accepting Address from getnewaddress?

I am trying the following commands on my v0.19.0.1 Core implementation: CLI signmessage $(CLI getnewaddress) <message> and the identical CLI signmessagewithprivkey $(bitcoin-cli dumpprivkey $(CLI getnewaddress)) <message> Both times I get Error code: -3 "Address does not refer to key" All my addresses are wrapped-Segwit (3...).

What can I expirement with BitcoinCore on my own?

I have a simple faculty assignment where I have to do some experiments with transactions or experiment with the Bitcoin protocol or maybe with wallet code. Work on that assignment shouldn't last more than one day, however I cannot imagine anything I can actually do on my own. Every change in code seems too complex for me or pointless. All my changes will be tested on testnet or regtest and never published of course. Can someone help me with this with some sort of direction, link to some other experiments or maybe with a simple idea or pseudo code example?…

Unable to decode raw bitcoin transaction data using bitcoind-rpc

I have been following these tutorials in order to stream detailed transaction information that pass through my bitcoin node. This is done through the zeromq interface https://bitcoindev.network/accessing-bitcoins-zeromq-interface/ https://degreesofzero.com/article/streaming-transactions-from-bitcoind-via-zeromq.html I am able to get the raw data but I am having difficulty decoding the information be as detailed as in the first link.

Getting “Invalid or non-wallet transaction id” error on transactions definitely from wallet

Very recently (within the past hour), I've been unable to get transactions for wallet addresses. It also returns 0 received when running getreceivedbyaddress and entering an address that I've definitely paid to. What can I do to track down the source of this problem? EDIT: I've noticed that getblockcount shows 639523, while https://blockchain.info/q/getblockcount shows 639529. It's been like that on my end for a while, and I'm not sure how to force it to sync.

bitcoin-cli how to verify balance

I've read that addresses alone are a "confusing" way to think about "where" bitcoins "are". Nonetheless I was formerly (2018) able to correlate what I got from bitcoin-cli commands with what I saw on blockchain explorers like https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/ e.g. back in 2018 getaccountaddress would list 1 address, getaddressesbyaccount would list that plus a 2nd address, getaddressesbylabel would list those same two addresses, getwalletinfo would show a 0.0003 balance, and listaddressgroupings would also show that balance. Now in 2020, that online explorer still shows that 0.0003 BTC balance, as it did in 2018, but due to deprecated cli commands, how can…
