The bitcoin RPC server requires a username and password for access, this is set up in the
bitcoin.conf file, see bitcoin core documentation for further details
The default location for this app is HOME/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf
This can be overridden from the command line with the -config flag ex. -config=/DIRECTORY/FILE.conf with the file containing the values of rpcuser and rpcpassword in the format of the standard bitcoin.conf file.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| -config | path to config file described above |
| -host | default 127.0.0.1 |
| -port | default 8332(Main Net) |
| -title | displays in title bar, useful if running multiple instances |
The -port option lets you run on test net by setting to 18332
The -host and -config options allow for remote connection
npm start [-- [-config -port -host -title]]
Also, launch configurations are provided for vscode users

- Argument hints based on command entered
- Execute via keyboard, menu, command pallet or codelens
- File load and save

| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| F5 | execute command at command editor cursor postion |
| CtrlCmd+i | Insert from result cursor position to command editior selection, this allows easy reuse of results as command arguments |
| CtrlCmd+r | reverse selection of byte string(2 characters at a time) in the command editor. This is handy if you are working with the direct protocol and recieve a transaction hash from inv command for example, it is reversed, you can retrieve with rpc by reversing with this command. |
A single command may be multi line. Leave whitespace for argument separation, JSON objects are parsed as a single argument.
example:
createmultisig 2
[
"key1",
"key2"
]
install electron-packager
and run electron-packager .
this will create an executable for your operating system
This console should work with bitcoin forks
