listtransactions not working

[supermoney]

Hey there, I'm back  
This time I'm having troubles with listtransactions function because "from" parameter is not properly working!
I'm actually working on this address: https://www.blocktrail.com/tBTC/address/mzkKmWG9Sj4duFDzHQMvwEvt1S8f3K56sm

First command:

Code:

listtransactions bitcoin 100 0

Code:

I don't understand how "from" parameter works, Wiki says it's used to count from a certain number but there's everything messed up  

[Muhammed Zakir]

In Bitcoin.org, it is "skip" and I think "skip" suit in this command better.

"[skip=x]", where x is number of the most "recent transactions" which "should not" be shown.*

When you ran first command, seven transactions where shown. When you ran second command, recent 6 transactions weren't shown as "skip value was 6". Hope this solve your doubt.

If you want to study more, I suggest to you to look Bitcoin.org^[1]. I find it quite useful and easy to understand than Bitcoin wiki.

Well explained, thank you.
Since I'm going to work with about 2.000 transactions a month, should I keep using listtransactions command?

Depends on your use. If you want to get latest transactions only, you can use "listsinceblock"* which shows transactions from the block you want. This might be better.

That's a pretty helpful command. I'm still learning all the bitcoin-cli commands and hadn't come across this one yet. Thanks for it!

I apologize, I forgot this thread.
I'm now working with walletnotify (php script) + gettransaction, what do you think about?

Looks okay. Check the code for fetching the transaction hex is correct, else, you will get a wrong result when you run "gettransaction". Good luck!
