Title: bitcoin commandline ubuntu
Post by: robocop on February 29, 2012, 03:37:53 PM
Hello guys

I want to manage bitcoins with command line in ubuntu.

I entered in my ubuntu terminal

Code:
bitcoind -daemon

and the deamon starts but then I wait any minutes and nothing happens in the terminal.
I thought I must start the deamon first and then I can enter the next commands for example

Code:
bitcoind -getdifficulty

to get the difficulty.

thx for help

When "bitcoind -daemon" is started. Type "bitcoind help" to get the list of commands.
