1 2018-04-04 17:31:23 <jkister> i am using the 'getaddr' p2p method to get a list of all peers that a typical remote node knows about.  can anyone explain how i can predict when the node is done sending me response 'addr' messages?  I typically get multiple messages (always two with my test nodes) but dont see anything that sends a message indicating that the node is finished sending me addr messages.
 2 2018-04-04 18:00:02 <JackH> what is the RCP api call to point bitcoin core to a different than default wallet location?
 3 2018-04-04 18:00:35 <JackH> or where can I see the reference to how it is done?
 4 2018-04-04 18:09:52 <arubi> JackH, there's 'walletdir=...' for bitcoind for setting where wallets are saved, but that's not an rpc call
 5 2018-04-04 18:10:29 <arubi> there's also wallet=.. for bitcoind that can set up multiple wallets each in their own subdir with the given name, that's not rpc either
 6 2018-04-04 18:10:59 <arubi> then there's -rpcwallet=<name> for bitcoin-cli, telling it which of these wallets it should talk to
 7 2018-04-04 18:11:52 <arubi> last one is rpc, but you need to first set up wallet=<name> for -rpcwallet=<name> to be useful
 8 2018-04-04 18:12:35 <JackH> where are the docs for this? I would like to experiment a bit first
 9 2018-04-04 18:13:11 <arubi> bitcoind --help, bitcoin-cli --help,  probably the release notes and there's also the man pages
10 2018-04-04 18:13:57 <JackH> try to google for: -rpcwallet=<name>
11 2018-04-04 18:13:58 <JackH> haha
12 2018-04-04 18:14:12 <arubi> if `bitcoind --help` doesn't do it, try `bitcoind --help -help-debug`
13 2018-04-04 18:14:45 <arubi> ddg doesn't return anything interesting for "-rpcwallet=<name>"  :)
14 2018-04-04 18:15:18 <JackH> I know, I get some kardashian stuff
15 2018-04-04 18:15:27 <arubi> oh well you need to remove the '-'
16 2018-04-04 18:15:48 <arubi> it tells the search engine to ignore the term really
17 2018-04-04 18:16:16 <arubi> but "<name>" is something you should remove too.  just try rpcwallet or something
18 2018-04-04 18:17:10 <JackH> filename in bitcoind directory, required if bitcoind/-Qt runs
19 2018-04-04 18:17:10 <JackH> -rpcwallet=<walletname>
20 2018-04-04 18:17:10 <JackH> Send RPC for non-default wallet on RPC server (argument is wallet
21 2018-04-04 18:17:10 <JackH> with multiple wallets)
22 2018-04-04 18:17:18 <JackH> I found this one, but not how to name wallets
23 2018-04-04 18:17:32 <arubi> that's 'wallet=<name>'
24 2018-04-04 18:17:36 <arubi> see ^
25 2018-04-04 18:17:44 <arubi> not for -cli, but for -qt or bitcoind
26 2018-04-04 18:18:02 <arubi> -wallet=<name> on the command line, wallet=<name> in bitcoin.conf
27 2018-04-04 18:18:35 <arubi> what are you trying to do though?  set a different wallet directory or multiple wallets with different names?
28 2018-04-04 18:23:01 <arubi> anyway, even with 'wallet=<name>' there will just be directories with <name> and in each one there is going to be a single wallet.dat
29 2018-04-04 18:33:27 <JackH> yep thats fine, I just want to set directories
30 2018-04-04 18:33:42 <JackH> or, a directory actually
31 2018-04-04 18:33:49 <JackH> name is path?
32 2018-04-04 18:34:05 <arubi> no, path is set for walletdir=<path>
33 2018-04-04 18:34:19 <arubi> that's a bitcoind\-qt option
34 2018-04-04 18:36:12 <JackH> walletdir wont work with bitcoin-qt will it?
35 2018-04-04 18:36:29 <arubi> I don't see why not
36 2018-04-04 18:36:30 <JackH> or do I just need to start bitcoin-qt with the argument of the location of the wallet?
37 2018-04-04 18:36:43 <arubi> yes, set the argument with it
38 2018-04-04 21:50:07 <TyrfingMjolnir> How do I compile the bitcoin-cli?
39 2018-04-04 21:50:20 <TyrfingMjolnir> I see there is a Makefile.am
40 2018-04-04 21:50:46 <TyrfingMjolnir> I can't just do ./configure --help
41 2018-04-04 21:54:34 <TyrfingMjolnir> I see it's the build-* files from here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tree/master/doc
