@ -517,45 +517,7 @@ want to run Bitcoin Core. (This can be a locked account used only by
Bitcoin Core.) If you changed users in a graphical interface, start a
terminal.
Before using the Bitcoin Core daemon, `bitcoind`, you need to create its
configuration file with a user name and password. First create the
`.bitcoin` directory, create (touch) the file, and set the file's
permissions so that only your user account can read it. From your
terminal or console, type:
mkdir ~/.bitcoin
touch ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf
chmod 600 ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf
Then you can run the command `bitcoind`. It will print output similar
to this:
bitcoind
Error: To use the "-server" option, you must set a rpcpassword in the configuration file:
/home/bitcoinorg/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf
It is recommended you use the following random password:
rpcuser=bitcoinrpc
rpcpassword=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(you do not need to remember this password)
The username and password MUST NOT be the same.
If the file does not exist, create it with owner-readable-only file permissions.
It is also recommended to set alertnotify so you are notified of problems;
for example: alertnotify=echo %s | mail -s "Bitcoin Alert" admin@foo.com
The "rpcpassword" displayed will be unique for your system. You can
copy the rpcuser and rpcpassword lines into your configuration file
using the following commands. Note that in many Linux terminals, you need
to press Ctrl-Shift-C to copy and Ctrl-Shift-V to paste because Ctrl-C
and Ctrl-V have different meanings in a Unix-style terminal.
echo rpcuser=bitcoinrpc >> ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf
echo rpcpassword=XXXXXX >> ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf
(**Warning:** Don't use XXXXXX as your RPC password. Copy the
rpcpassword displayed by bitcoind for your system.)
Now you can start Bitcoin Core daemon for real. Type the following
command:
Type the following command:
bitcoind -daemon
