Title: connect bitcoin-qt to a running bitcoind? Post by: Costia on January 22, 2012, 12:05:40 AM I want to run bitcoind in the background and start the gui only when needed
I have seen someone suggest to use the -server option but i didn't find any documentation on that So, how can i make the bitcoin-qt GUI connect to a running instance of bitcoind (on windows)? Title: Re: connect bitcoin-qt to a running bitcoind? Post by: lucif on January 22, 2012, 12:38:52 AM I tried to do this with 0.5.2 without luck :(
I put bitcoind on a remote home server and tried to connect to it with bitcoin-qt with -server command line option (and config option). But when bitcoin-qt starts, it starts to download initial block chain and using local wallet.dat Title: Re: connect bitcoin-qt to a running bitcoind?

still looking for a standalone bitcoind GUI for windows Title: Re: connect bitcoin-qt to a running bitcoind? Post by: stcupp on January 24, 2012, 11:29:14 AM the gui bitcoin has bitcoind built into it
make a new .bat file and in it write Code: C:\path\to\your\bitcoin\folder\bitcoin-qt.exe -server and the GUI bitcoin will do the same thing as bitcoind Title: Re: connect bitcoin-qt to a running bitcoind? Post by: Costia on January 24, 2012, 02:54:36 PM the point is not to run the gui - it sometimes crashes . bitcoind is stable.
so i run bitcoind in script along with my miner and p2pool but sometimes i want to view my wallet in the GUI currently to do that i have to stop the bitcoind (which causes errors in the p2pool client and the miner) and run the gui i am looking for a way to make the gui connect to an already running instance of bitcoind Title: Re: connect bitcoin-qt to a running bitcoind? Post by: terrytibbs on January 24, 2012, 03:02:36 PM the point is not to run the gui - it sometimes crashes . bitcoind is stable. Try something like Spesmilo (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Spesmilo). It connects to a running server instance over RPC.so i run bitcoind in script along with my miner and p2pool but sometimes i want to view my wallet in the GUI currently to do that i have to stop the bitcoind (which causes errors in the p2pool client and the miner) and run the gui i am looking for a way to make the gui connect to an already running instance of bitcoind Title: Re: connect bitcoin-qt to a running bitcoind?
