i am looking to learn more about running bitcoin from the command line, although i am having some problems.
1st: i am not sure if it is bitcoind i run or bitcoin-cli
when i run bitcoind nothing happens it jumps tp the next line and just waits and if i run bitcoin-cli i get help messages.
do i need a conf file? i have been running the GUI for over 9 months
anyhelp would be great thanks
