Title: Bitcoin Core with -server option gives error
Post by: bgibso01 on April 25, 2014, 02:59:19 AM
So I was playing around with Bitcoin Core and can't seem to get it to recognize the rpcpassword.  Maybe a fresh set of eyes can see the problem.

Here's the bitcoin.conf file in the appdata/roaming/bitcoin

server=1
rpcuser=bitcoinrpc
rpcpassword=passwordrpc
rpcallowip=all
rpcport=8332

When I run bitcoin core with the -server, it tells me I need an rpcpassword set and gives the nice example.  I've tried the bitcoin-cli, bitcoind and all give the same response.  Any ideas? Version 0.9.1.0

Thanks

Windows' bitcoin core no longer has the rpc component, it's a separate client now.

i read the info about the bitcoin-cli, do you have any further info on how to properly set up the client to allow bfgminer to point to it as a proxy?

Thanks.
