Title: Bitcoind remind me my address
Post by: jago25_98 on January 12, 2011, 11:49:04 AM

I can never remember my bitcoin address and how to find out with bitcoind

Would be nice if there was a command to show the address, or something clearer

thanks!

You should use getaccountaddress, not getnewaddress. getaccountaddress only creates a new address once you received coins to the previous address.

This will show you all of your addresses, even the unused ones:

Code:

bitcoind listreceivedbyaddress 0 true

Thanks for the info. I think this should be more prominent in the linux client,

why not list the current address in use in

Code:

bitcoin getinfo

too, well, that's where I expected it to be but my intuition on that might be unusual

There is no concept of "current address" in bitcoind.

It sounds like what you want is:

Code:

bitcoin getmostrecentlygeneratedaddress

No?
