Title: What is normal running state of ./bitcoind ? Post by: wsxdrfv on February 28, 2018, 01:47:10 PM I know if run ./bitcoin-qt, wallet GUI program started.
Then if everything is normal and fine, what will happen when run ./bitcoind? Title: Re: What is normal running state of ./bitcoind ?

Bitcoind is simply a so-called "headless" version of bitcoin-QT, so instead of a GUI (like Bitcoin-QT has) it has a command-line interface. So booting up bitcoind will give you a command prompt instead of the GUI bitcoin-qt provides. I believe that there are no differences ( in terms of what commands are available, configurations etc) other then the GUI being different. (or missing) Some more information about the two can be found here > https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Running_Bitcoin Title: Re: What is normal running state of ./bitcoind ?

The more handy way would be to run bitcoind in daemon mode: Code: ./bitcoind -daemon and afterwards use API commands [1] to communicate via: Code: ./bitcoin-cli To stop the daemon you can type: Code: ./bitcoin-cli stop [1] https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Original_Bitcoin_client/API_Calls_list (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Original_Bitcoin_client/API_Calls_list) Title: Re: What is normal running state of ./bitcoind ?
