dependencies

features

  • updating ticker showing bitcoind's status (via RPC)
  • view arbitrary block contents quickly
  • facility to view transactions in current block and trace back through their inputs (with -txindex)
  • view transactions from your wallet - txid, amounts, cumulative balance
  • view connected peers
  • basic debug console functionality (only for testnet use at present)

usage

copy your bitcoin.conf to bitcoind-ncurses's folder

alternatively, create a file with the following details:

rpcuser=xxx
rpcpassword=yyy
testnet=0

this is an early development release. expect (safe) breakage

launch

replace 'python' with 'python2' if you also have python3 installed.

$ python main.py
$ python main.py -c some_other_config_file.conf

todo

  • ensure terminal always returns to sane state on program exit
  • mean block size/tx count over last X blocks
  • fee estimation / fee data
  • bandwidth chart
  • transaction creation support (if I feel suicidal)
  • more testing for edge cases (paramount for above)

found bitcoind-ncurses useful? donations are your way of showing that!

my main machine is currently a 6 year old Atom laptop. upgrading that would be rather useful. cheers!
