Title: Best Guide For Bitcoin Core CLI Post by: BitcoinCanSaveUsAll on October 05, 2023, 02:00:57 AM Hi all,
I'm a long time Bitcoin Core node runner and was hoping that someone would be able to point me in the right direction as far as to where I could get a good summation for the various commands in terms of their proper syntax as well as a breakdown into what exactly each one does. Of course the help feature is useful but I was hoping that there may be a more user friendly resource out there that's a good one stop shop with examples etc. Thanks in advance for your feedback!

Each category consists of a list of specific commands as links, which you can follow in order to find out what this command is for, what it does and what the proper syntax is to make it work. Examples of usage are also included, which is very convenient both for developers and regular folks.I'm a long time Bitcoin Core node runner and was hoping that someone would be able to point me in the right direction as far as to where I could get a good summation for the various commands in terms of their proper syntax as well as a breakdown into what exactly each one does.

The knowlededge is scatter across many places in the Internet, e.g. "https://github.com/BlockchainCommons/Learning-Bitcoin-from-the-Command-Line/tree/master", "https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/", release notes "https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/release-notes/release-notes-25.0.md".

The knowlededge is scatter across many places in the Internet, e.g. "https://github.com/BlockchainCommons/Learning-Bitcoin-from-the-Command-Line/tree/master" ~ This resource you have cited is one of the most reliable guides for using bitcoin-cli. Although that doesn't make up for the fact that Bitcoin Core documentation could've been written in a more user-friendly and helpful way. Although that problem mainly comes for the fact that the documentation is more oriented towards Bitcoin Core developers rather than users.
