Title: Running as daemon only
Post by: allgoodthings1 on February 20, 2015, 02:02:42 AM
Question: How do I run the daemon only -- without the wallet -- after installing Core on a Windows 7 computer?

[I don't want to use the wallet just now -- only support the network with a full node.]

I should think there's a way to start and run the daemon from a command line prompt.  What's the command, and in what directory do I find it?  Thanks, much.

Edit: In the daemon directory folder, I see two files -- bitcoin-cli & bitcoind .. the former much smaller than the latter.  I'd guess maybe I can just run one of these from a command prompt.. but which one?  Thanks again.

Code:
bitcoind -rpcuser x -rpcpassword y -rpcallowip 127.0.0.1

bitcoind has no option to disable/enable the wallet at start
It needs to be compiled w/o the wallet feature. Default install is with a wallet

  Wallet options:
      -disablewallet         Do not load the wallet and disable wallet RPC calls

There are so many options, it is easy to do.

its possible to compile it without the wallet function too.
