longest chain won, no double spend

Bitcoin Dev

21 January 2021 18:41

FUD! Not to worry about

Bitcoin Dev

21 January 2021 18:41

s up with the double spend?

Bitcoin Dev

21 January 2021 18:40

excuse the inconvenience, we have an overzealous bot. You can try again now

Bitcoin Dev

curl command was: curl --user myrpc01 --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id":"curltest", "method": "getblockchaininfo", "params": [] }' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' (localhosturl)

^^ OK, it lets me post THAT much of the question.

Bitcoin Dev

21 January 2021 18:27

Nope. Pastebin link gets killed too.

Bitcoin Dev

21 January 2021 18:20

Will try... but... can I then link to the question?

Bitcoin Dev

21 January 2021 18:15

Help please: How can I post a question that won't get deleted? I'm assuming a bot is killing my question for containing "links" but the question involves a curl command and contents of bitcoin conf file that contain localhost URLS, and my post keeps getting deleted. I tried putting spaces between the dots... question still gets killed.

Blockstream-esplora (blockstream dot info) is open-source, but it's heavy as hell

you can try something like nicehash, they pick the chain for you and send you back bitcoin

forking core for ui is not a grave sin :D

Bitcoin Dev

Solved it! I had the wrong port number. Testnet JSON-RPC is listening on port 18332, not 18334. Saw startup messages in bitcoind indicating listening on 18333 and 18334 and assumed that was P2P and RPC. But apparently not.

wait 6 blocks yada yada

double spends are supposed to be picked up in the verfication step by nodes which didnt mine, no?

Oh Thank you!! 🙏🙏🙏

I’m running a bitcoind daemon on testnet and am able to issue getblockchaininfo through the bitcoin-cli command. But I’m trying to get the same result using a curl command, which, following examples online, I’m trying:

curl --user myrpc01 --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id":"curltest", "method": "getblockchaininfo", "params": [] }' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:18334/

But no matter what I do, I just get: curl: (52) Empty reply from server

I’ve googled this, and tried suggestions that I’ve found, to no avail. What could I possibly be missing?

My ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf file contains the following:

[test]
rpcuser=myrpc01
rpcpassword=password01
fallbackfee=0.0002
txindex=1
server=1
rpcbind=127.0.0.1

Bitcoin Dev

Any ideas? Much appreciation to anyone who can offer suggestion. Bitcoin dot conf file does contain server=1 and rpcuser and rpcpassword entries under [test] heading.

Bitcoin Dev

I am trying to get results of getblockchaininfo as a first example. I can get the info using bitcoin-cli, so I assume bitcoin-cli can talk to bitcoind, but if I try to "do what I assume bitcoin-cli is doing" with curl, I get the "empty reply".

Bitcoin Dev

21 January 2021 18:30

Anyway, absent details, question boils down to — running a testnet node and trying to access JSON-RPC via curl. Following examples online, but getting curl: (52) Empty reply from server Tried googling, but suggestions in search results did not help.

21 January 2021 18:22

yes it should work with 1 link to code and your question

Bitcoin Dev

21 January 2021 18:20

can you publish it on pastebin.com

I use btc-rpc-explorer

Bitcoin Dev

Question: Is there an open-source implementation of the blockchain dot info public API that I could run on a private server? Looking for something that can get current head block, retrieve blocks, and get transaction history by address as parsed JSON blobs that are both human and machine readable. Any options?

anti forking culture is mostly about consensus rules, and even consensus code, but not about ui

Bitcoin Dev

20 January 2021 16:50

I am sure the right answer for me is the second option. I do not want to fork core, and as in the philosophy of Bitcoin, want CONSENUS from my proposals from the main network. Forking is the last thing I want to do. I would like that people can CHOOSE whether the classic UI or the "user friendly UI" that way more people use core, not only devs. Also I believe the more people use Core the more people will move away from Centralized exchanges which are the opposite of the concept bitcoin was made for (decentralizing currency)
