Title: wallet tool
Post by: pancake on May 24, 2012, 01:36:07 AM
The bitcoind allows you to create a new wallet and add new addresses.

You can't remove them. But you can export the addresses, the private key and import it in another wallet.

What i'm looking for is a tool to allow me to manipulate the wallet in a better way than the current GUI does. Maybe having an api for rpc can be "dangerous"...

Do you know any tool like this?

Thanks

The RPC does allow import.  The ability to remove a key is not yet in the client, but the Bitcoin source 'main" trunk has support fo "removeprivkey' (so a custom build of the client would support it).

Here's how that would be used:
