To use `bitcoind` and `bitcoin-cli`, you will need to add a RPC password
to your `bitcoin.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:
~~~
rpcpassword=change_this_to_a_long_random_password
~~~~
You should also make the `bitcoin.conf` file only readable to its
owner. On Linux, Mac OSX, and other Unix-like systems, this can be
accomplished by running the following command in the Bitcoin application
directory:
~~~
chmod 0600 bitcoin.conf
~~~
For development, it's safer and cheaper to use Bitcoin's test network (testnet)
or regression test mode (regtest) described below.
