The following guide aims to provide examples to help you start
building Bitcoin-based applications. To make the best use of this document,
you may want to install the current version of Bitcoin Core, either from
building Dash-based applications. To make the best use of this document,
you may want to install the current version of Dash Core, either from
[source][core git] or from a [pre-compiled executable][core executable].
Once installed, you'll have access to three programs: `bitcoind`,
`bitcoin-qt`, and `bitcoin-cli`.
Once installed, you'll have access to three programs: `dashd`,
`dash-qt`, and `dash-cli`.
* `bitcoin-qt` provides a combination full Bitcoin peer and wallet
* `dash-qt` provides a combination full Dash peer and wallet
frontend. From the Help menu, you can access a console where you can
enter the RPC commands used throughout this document.
* `bitcoind` is more useful for programming: it provides a full peer
which you can interact with through RPCs to port 8332 (or 18332
for testnet).
* `dashd` is more useful for programming: it provides a full peer
which you can interact with through RPCs to port 9998 (or 19998
for testnet / 18332 for regtest).
* `bitcoin-cli` allows you to send RPC commands to `bitcoind` from the
command line. For example, `bitcoin-cli help`
* `dash-cli` allows you to send RPC commands to `dashd` from the
command line. For example, `dash-cli help`

All three programs get settings from `dash.conf` in the `DashCore`

* OSX: `$HOME/Library/Application Support/DashCore/`
* Linux: `$HOME/.bitcoin/`
* Linux: `$HOME/.dashcore/`

To use `dashd` and `dash-cli`, you will need to add a RPC password
to your `dash.conf` file. Both programs will read from the same file
if both run on the same system as the same user, so any long random
password will work:

For development, it's safer and cheaper to use Dash's test network (testnet)
or regression test mode (regtest) described below.
