Title: bitcoind - how to start graphical frontend Post by: Frizz23 on January 26, 2012, 06:13:15 AM Hi,
I have bitcoind running (because bitcoin-qt crashed several times when running with p2pool) Question: How to start a graphical frontend for bitcoind? bitcoind-qt won't run (because it can't get a lock blu bla ...). What to do? cheers, F. Title: Re: bitcoind - how to start graphical frontend Post by: Kluge on January 26, 2012, 06:47:10 AM Run with admin privileges? I'm not familiar with the problem.
Edit: Oh, wait -- you may need to close the other client you have running, then start up the GUI. Title: Re: bitcoind - how to start graphical frontend Post by: Kluge on January 26, 2012, 06:54:16 AM Run with admin privileges? I'm not familiar with the problem. I believe he wants to run the GUI while bitcoind is already up and running, without shutting down bitcoind first. I would love to be able to do this as well, but I've never read anything suggesting this was possible. Of course, I'm a complete noob when it comes to much of this technical stuff. /quits talking on the technical support forum before getting chewed out for ignorance Title: Re: bitcoind - how to start graphical frontend Post by: Revalin on January 26, 2012, 07:23:42 AM The regular bitcoin-qt can't do it as far as I know. Just stop bitcoind, then run "bitcoin-qt -server". It will start the QT gui and -server makes it also act as a bitcoind at the same time.
Title: Re: bitcoind - how to start graphical frontend Post by: Revalin on January 26, 2012, 08:08:31 AM QT has proven unstable in a mining situation, which is the probable reason for this thread. My solution has been to learn to manipulate my wallet while running bitcoind. White bitcoin-qt isn't an option, there are other frontends that can connect to a bitcoind server: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Category:Frontends Title: Re: bitcoind - how to start graphical frontend Post by: Revalin on January 26, 2012, 08:27:10 AM Unfortunately no. Spinner uses BCCAPI to talk to a server. If you made a BCCAPI server that then talked to your bitcoind it could work, but I have no idea if there's any support for that in spinner.
You could easily have multiple wallets though. Have a spinner wallet (or bitcoin-qt) for daily use and a separate one for mining. Create a short script to keep sending all your mining revenues to the spinner wallet, and you're set.

QT has proven unstable in a mining situation, which is the probable reason for this thread. Yes, this was exactly the reason :) QT sucks while mining. So I use bitcoind. I just like to have a frontend for it now (to connect to a running bitcoind). Title: Re: bitcoind - how to start graphical frontend Post by: stevegee58 on February 22, 2012, 02:55:16 AM How does this look? It's a front-end GUI I wrote that talks to bitcoind while I'm mining p2pool.
Right now it just shows balance, block count and transaction history. I just start it and hit refresh when I want an update. I'm planning on adding 5 second polling and a couple other features. I don't plan on implementing the full bitcoin-qt functionality. http://i44.tinypic.com/11bqng1.png Title: Re: bitcoind - how to start graphical frontend Post by: bd9142 on March 23, 2014, 06:43:30 PM How does this look?

In case you get no reply, I could cook up such a little GUI if you are willing to make a donation.
