Title: "listaccounts" and "labels" : why is it this way ? Post by: heretolearn on February 25, 2014, 01:06:29 PM I tried to make a new address and have the same label for two addresses. When I typed "listaccounts" it showed me only the label which was the same for both addresses.
When I change the label to something else then all the addresses according to labels are listed. Why does listaccounts show according to labels ? I mean to ask what is the logic behind it. Wouldnt showing by addresses be more meaningful ? Title: Re: "listaccounts" and "labels" : why is it this way ? Post by: syslog on February 25, 2014, 02:15:51 PM accounts & labels are the same,
basically when you call listaccounts call it will show you accounts as key and balance as value ( it's quite usefull when you have multiple addresses pointed an account(label) i think PS: btc supports rpc2.0 this makes your life easier.

So, what you've described makes sense. If you want a list by addresseses then try listreceivedbyaddress 0 true which, if I've remembered that correctly, will list all addresses even with zero balance and their label. List by account then, from what you've described, groups by label =='account'. Title: Re: "listaccounts" and "labels" : why is it this way ?

PS: btc supports rpc2.0 this makes your life easier. I tried getaccountaddress and found stange results, it sometimes generates a new address with the same label as the argument !! How does that work ? Also any link as to how and what advantages rpc2.0 has when used with btc ? Title: Re: "listaccounts" and "labels" : why is it this way ?
