Title: How can I use Bitcoin-QT as frontend for a remote bitcoind server/wallet? Post by: DandoRealIta on July 12, 2012, 04:15:24 PM Hi,
today I tried to use the Bitcoin-QT client as a frontend for a remote bitcoind server. This is bitcoin.conf on the server: server=1 rpcuser=MyUser rpcpassword=MyPass rpctimeout=60 rpcallowip=Client_IP rpcport=8332 This is of the client: rpcuser=MyUser rpcpassword=MyPass rpcconnect=Server_IP rpcport=8332 However, upon starting the Bitcoin-QT client, it made a new wallet and downloaded blocks locally. Can you help me? Title: Re: How can I use Bitcoin-QT as frontend for a remote bitcoind server/wallet? Post by: Pieter Wuille on July 12, 2012, 09:49:43 PM No, the Qt interface requires much more intimate access to bitcoin's datastructures than what is exposed through RPC.
There are some long-term plans to separate node and UI further, though. Title: Re: How can I use Bitcoin-QT as frontend for a remote bitcoind server/wallet? Post by: DandoRealIta on July 13, 2012, 11:28:09 AM I see, is there some alternative? I checked other clients and frontends but, or they are old ( and probably do not support encrypted wallets ) or, like electrum, you can have only the blockchain in remote but not the wallet
