Bitcoin-cli move?

[columbo]

According to this page (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Help:Accounts_explained#The_Default_Account) there is a move function between accounts on our wallet.
Are these moves instant and do not show up on blockchain?

Please check my last test transactions:
{
    "account": "Account2",
    "address": "1AiXzU8AA7NL6oVKrPR9d9hwATKWwMaadS",
    "category": "receive",
    "amount": 0.00100000,
    "label": "Account2",
    "vout": 0,
    "confirmations": 196,
    "blockhash": "0000000000000000007b634b3278a4d75744e77129bb961126246a6e5b7d06a6",
    "blockindex": 1147,
    "blocktime": 1507270616,
    "txid": "2e2d2869cea148a59a1033531042b7590867baba37b2b72b4787bbfcf370b778",
    "walletconflicts": [
    ],
    "time": 1507270440,
    "timereceived": 1507270440,
    "bip125-replaceable": "no"
},   
{
    "account": "Account1",
    "address": "15z2XgtEbjE1dZ4pFuN1FnZvinfYEmGfmg",
    "category": "receive",
    "amount": 0.00100000,
    "label": "Account1",
    "vout": 1,
    "confirmations": 192,
    "blockhash": "00000000000000000095b8f42ab53956052145534d9e1683c3b1a97668b5d802",
    "blockindex": 949,
    "blocktime": 1507274365,
    "txid": "39fc0d67a5c4830e8092654d28b555943f73f4f228c5dd837f6610a7c39243f2",
    "walletconflicts": [
    ],
    "time": 1507270616,
    "timereceived": 1507270616,
    "bip125-replaceable": "no"
},
{
    "account": "Account2",
    "category": "move",
    "time": 1507274482,
    "amount": -0.00100000,
    "otheraccount": "Account1",
    "comment": ""
},
{
    "account": "Account1",
    "category": "move",
    "time": 1507274482,
    "amount": 0.00100000,
    "otheraccount": "Account2",
    "comment": ""
}

So I received 0.001 to both Account1 and Account2 then moved 0.001 from Account1 to Account2.

However, this move does not have a transaction id and if I check on blockchain, the 2 addresses have the same balance (0.001).

move is a deprecated command that only effects Bitcoin Core's internal accounts system. The accounts system is deprecated. All that move does is that it changes some entries in the internal accounts system. No transactions are actually made.

Thanks. Since it is deprecated, it is not advised to use it any more?

Yes. The accounts system (and thus the move command) is slated to be removed soon.

Thank you. If so, what is the best way to have a multi account wallet where you manage 10 - 100 - 1,000 - 100,000 accounts all with different balances?

Use your own account system. Use an external database to handle your accounts and what each person's balance is. Don't try to make each address belong to certain accounts (the Bitcoin Core accounts system doesn't really work like that anyways). Or you can use the multi-wallet feature and have each wallet be an "account". However Bitcoin Core may not be able to handle hundreds or thousands of wallets with multi-wallet. It really is not designed for that use case.

Soon? 2 years or more we wait it's great event, but we got just segwit))
Which version we can get new functionality?

Every version of Bitcoin Core brings new functionality. The accounts system is not a consensus rule, it is an internal Bitcoin Core thing so it will be removed when it is implemented. This is very different from Segwit which is a consensus rule and required activation from the rest of the network.
