Hi OmegaStarScream,
Thank you for the recommendation.
At the moment, Bitseed seems to be sold out.
I'm currently already running a full node on my MacBook Pro and I've gotten it to average around 14 connections to the Bitcoin network on average.
My challenge is that I am working through the Mastering Bitcoin book by Andreas Antonopoulos and have gotten stuck at the Bitcoin Core API section. In other words, I have a running node on my MacBook but can't find a way to access the JSON-RPC interface.
Final question - would running a Bitseed (if I can get my hands on one), enable me to issue commands to the node? I'm currently testing commands via the web using a site called
https://chainquery.com but would like to find a way to work on code on a node I run at my home.
Thanks!
