Title: bitcoin.exe -server does not work, will bitcoind.exe -server do the exact same?? Post by: gigabytecoin on May 06, 2011, 10:47:20 AM So I have been having some problems with my bitcoin.exe suddenly. (http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=7365.0)
I have a few miners setup running ubuntu 11.04 and I was running the bitcoin server off of my windows 7 64 bit machine (quite smoothly for almost a week straight) until earlier today when I started receiving error messages related to bitcoin.exe My question is, if I run bitcoind.exe -server and connect my miners as usualy, will everything still work as expected? Am I wasting my time running bitcoind.exe for mining? It has looked like this for the past few hours since I started running it: https://i.imgur.com/CSrSz.png My miners are showing hashes per second and not any "RPC Cannot connect" values... I just want some confirmation that they are indeed working?! Can you give me some reassurance, bitcoiners?! Title: Re: bitcoin.exe -server does not work, will bitcoind.exe -server do the exact same??

I only have one copy of bitcoind.exe running, I am just saying that is what my command line looks like. No error codes or messages whatsoever after 12 hours now... just want some clarification that it's even working properly!?

Post by: BitterTea on May 06, 2011, 06:20:49 PM You don't need the -server argument when using bitcoind, as that is all bitcoind does. When you use server with bitcoin.exe, it enables JSON-RPC, which allows you to make all the same API calls while also using the GUI.
I don't understand why you executed bitcoind over and over and over again. Running it once starts the daemon which runs in the background.

I begain running it more than once because that command line became that way over the course of a few hours. Forgive me for not wiping it clean before I posted the screenshot :P There is only one copy of bitcoind.exe running on my computer - all I wanted to know is if it is indeed working as a server - and if it does so by default, then I guess you answered my question BitterTea, +1 thanks! |
