BitcoinQT command-line in windows?

[moriartybitcoin]

I am running BitcoinQT on my laptop in Windows .. does anyone know how to run command-line commands such as 'keypoolrefill'

On linux I would just type bitcoind keypoolrefill from root.  But how do I do this on windows when I'm running the GUI Bitcoin-QT ??

I need to refill the keypool urgently .. any help is appreciated

You can go to Help -> Debug window -> Console to execute most commands.

oh thanks!

I would like to tip you 0.01 btc for your help

Also, do you know how to refill the keypool with more than 101 ?  I did a keypoolrefill and it will only put 101 keys in the keypool ...

edit your bitcoin.conf and set:
keypool=1000

You'll need to restart bitcoin afterward.

FYI, you can use bitcoind on windows too; it's in the "daemon" folder within the Bitcoin install directory. You may need to add it to your path if you want to use it without having to cd to the folder first, but aside from that it works identically to the linux version (aside from the formatting of path names, anyway).

Be aware that the Windows version of the Bitcoin Deamon sometimes has some memory issues, so I would recommend 64-bit Linux version for server appliances.

Also going forward you should use bitcoin-cli (as opposed to bitcoind) for commands from the command line.  As eventually it won't be possible to use bitcoind to do this.  

E.g.

Code:

bitcoin-cli getinfo

This should return something similar to the following to the command line:

Code:

{"info":{"version":90100,"protocolversion":70002,"walletversion":60000,"balance":0,"blocks":325730,"timeoffset":-1,"connections":59,"proxy":"","difficulty":35002482026.13323,"testnet":false,"keypoololdest":1402556143,"keypoolsize":101,"paytxfee":0,"errors":""}}

If this exe is not on the path you need to CD to the relevant directory on windows.
