Title: bitcoind vs. bitcoin --server Post by: 1bitc0inplz on May 17, 2011, 02:02:14 AM Can someone explain the differences between running bitcoin with the --server option versus compiling it as a daemon and running bitcoind?
Other than the obvious difference, ones a daemon the other isn't, is there any difference in the role they can serve? Title: Re: bitcoind vs. bitcoin --server Post by: error on May 17, 2011, 02:06:45 AM bitcoin gives you a GUI. bitcoind does not.
Title: Re: bitcoind vs. bitcoin --server Post by: 1bitc0inplz on May 17, 2011, 02:10:59 AM bitcoin gives you a GUI. bitcoind does not. Really? That's the only difference? That's what I was beginning to suspect, but I wanted to double check. So, somebody who wanted to create a pool, but was too busy screwing with other parts of their software they needed to create, could just run bitcoin --server as their "backend" until they got around to screwing with setting up boost and all the other dependencies required to build bitcoind? Sorry, I just wanted to re-phrase my understanding of what you said, just to make certain I understand.

Title: Re: bitcoind vs. bitcoin --server Post by: 1bitc0inplz on May 17, 2011, 02:20:55 AM I believe boost, etc. is required for bitcoin, not just bitcoind. I could be very wrong. No, I believe you are right. But, with bitcoin (not daemon) I don't necessarily have to compile it. I can just download the binaries and run. I do not believe (and someone correct me if I'm wrong) that there is an official bitcoind binary for any platform... I'd have to compile that myself.

Though I believe the Linux version does NOT include a bitcoind executable, and I don't touch Apple-branded stuff. Title: Re: bitcoind vs. bitcoin --server Post by: 1bitc0inplz on May 17, 2011, 03:06:23 AM ... I don't touch Apple-branded stuff. :'( ;) Thanks for the reply. I am hyped about this. So glad I can focus my energy on solving other problems, and leave tracking down dependencies for another day.

Lulzplzkthx, answer=(false==answer); variable 'answer' not defined nor recursive. Clever and twisted though.
