Hi,
I have bitcoind running (because bitcoin-qt crashed several times when running with p2pool)
Question: How to start a graphical frontend for bitcoind? bitcoind-qt won't run (because it can't get a lock blu bla ...).
What to do?
cheers,
F.

Run with admin privileges? I'm not familiar with the problem.
Edit: Oh, wait -- you may need to close the other client you have running, then start up the GUI.

I believe he wants to run the GUI while bitcoind is already up and running, without shutting down bitcoind first. I would love to be able to do this as well, but I've never read anything suggesting this was possible. Of course, I'm a complete noob when it comes to much of this technical stuff. Maybe Armory could work? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=56424.0/quits talking on the technical support forum before getting chewed out for ignorance |

The regular bitcoin-qt can't do it as far as I know. Just stop bitcoind, then run "bitcoin-qt -server". It will start the QT gui and -server makes it also act as a bitcoind at the same time.

QT has proven unstable in a mining situation, which is the probable reason for this thread.
My solution has been to learn to manipulate my wallet while running bitcoind. White bitcoin-qt isn't an option, there are other frontends that can connect to a bitcoind server: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Category:Frontends |

Unfortunately no. Spinner uses BCCAPI to talk to a server. If you made a BCCAPI server that then talked to your bitcoind it could work, but I have no idea if there's any support for that in spinner.
You could easily have multiple wallets though. Have a spinner wallet (or bitcoin-qt) for daily use and a separate one for mining. Create a short script to keep sending all your mining revenues to the spinner wallet, and you're set.

Unfortunately, stopping bitcoind... well sucks. QT has proven unstable in a mining situation, which is the probable reason for this thread.
Yes, this was exactly the reason  QT sucks while mining. So I use bitcoind. I just like to have a frontend for it now (to connect to a running bitcoind). |

How does this look? It's a front-end GUI I wrote that talks to bitcoind while I'm mining p2pool. Right now it just shows balance, block count and transaction history. I just start it and hit refresh when I want an update. I'm planning on adding 5 second polling and a couple other features. I don't plan on implementing the full bitcoin-qt functionality.  |
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
