Bitcoin core version 8.5 Beta console help please.

[morbius55]

I have found a Bitcoin Core version 8.5 and wanted to know a few things about console commands.
I have not let it start to sync as I have kept it offline thus far, but would like to know how to list all the addresses it contains. I have the passphrase and would like to know what to type in the console to show them and also to unlock it for a set time. Thanks for any help.

Use

Code:

walletpassphrase PASSWORD 600 

to unlock it for 10 minutes. Use

Code:

listaddressgroupings

to list the addresses.

Thanks, do I need to put quote marks around the passphrase?

do I need to put quote marks around the passphrase?

Whether you use quotation marks or not, it should work.
Assuming the passphrase is 1234 and you want your wallet to be locked after 600 seconds, both following commands will work.

Code:

walletpassphrase 1234 600

Code:

walletpassphrase "1234" "600"

When I use listaddressgroupings it just returns [                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
                                                                    ]

You don't see any address, because listaddressgroupings only shows used addresses.
Also, your wallet is not synced. Even if an address has been used, bitcoin core is not aware of that.

Use the command below to see all your addresses (used and unused ones).

Code:

listreceivedbyaddress 0 true

Note that, you can see list of all your generated addresses using the GUI too.
To do so, click on "Window" and then select "Receiving addresses".

It only gave me one address, it's the same one that shows when I click receive tab.

Why not use this command below

Code:

It will show the list of possible commands and try them related to what you need.

or try this link for list of commands https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Original_Bitcoin_client/API_calls_list


"listaddressgroupings" is an RPC call so it won't work on debug console.


I tried so many commands on my own bitcoin core wallet but it seems there is no command that could list all of your possible addresses(Used/unused).

Given the age, it won't be an HD wallet... so it'll be comprised of "random" private keys/addresses and likely to only have a keypool size of 100.

If you have the passphrase, then running dumpwallet will output the entire contents of the wallet... otherwise, simply running PyWallet using the --dumpwallet option but without giving it a passphrase will dump out the addresses only.

Thanks again I don't seem to have put in the correct passphrase so far based on the ones I had been given when I ran pywallet on the hard drive originally. So if that's the case, then I need to quiz him some more as maybe pywallet could be worth another recovery shot?
