For everyone who does not want to manage the BTC/BCH/BSV/BTG/LTC deamon (aka 'bitcoind') by a bloated desktop application: a python ncurses front-end for the console. Uses the JSON-RPC API.
- Basing on the great work of azeteki (https://github.com/esotericnonsense/bitcoind-ncurses), but heavily enhanced.
- Developed with python 2.7, tested with Bitcoin Core 0.16.3 and several others
- jgarzik's python-bitcoinrpc library (https://github.com/jgarzik/python-bitcoinrpc)
- (Windows only) Python ncurses library (http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#curses)
- Updating ticker showing bitcoind's status
- Basic block explorer with fast seeking and no external database required
- View transactions in blocks, trace back through their inputs and display scripts (best with -txindex)
- View wallet transactions (txid, transaction value, cumulative balance)
- View connected peers and chain tips
- Network bandwidth monitor
- Basic debug console functionality (WARNING: do not use for transactions)
- Capability to handle several coins / daemons: BTC, BCH, BSV, BTG and also LTC (use startup parameter -m for this)
- Slightly enhanced GUI: tables and texts are dynamically placed and spaced
- Fully working wallet: you can set tx fees, view addresses and send coins
- Wallet functionality can also be completely disabled (put 'disablewallet=1' in your bitcoin.conf)
- Mempool monitor
git clone https://github.com/TheOnePerson/coind-ncurses
Copy ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf to coind-ncurses's folder, or alternatively run with the switch --config=/path/to/bitcoin.conf
This is an work-in-progess release. Expect the unexpected.
Note that bitcoind-ncurses requires Python 2 due to the bitcoinrpc dependency.
$ python main.py
