I have a headless remote box which is running bitcoin. I'm running the server - is there a command line I can use to find out the receiving address?

I've tried:

adam@XXXXX:~/.bitcoin/bitcoin-0.3.23/bin/64$ ./bitcoind getaccountaddress
error: {"code":-1,"message":"getaccountaddress <account>\nReturns the current bitcoin address for receiving payments to this account."}

but there it seems like it wants an address. I'm not sure what else to give it.


Thanks in advance.

Pass it the account's label.

If you need the accounting feats then pass it an account label. Otherwise just use getnewaddress.

I'm not sure of the accounting lable - I've never assigned one - is there a way to make one?

They're created automatically when you request an account-associated address.

For addresses that have received payments:

bitcoin listreceivedbyaddress

for a new address:

bitcoin getnewaddress
