ncurses front-end for bitcoind

produced by Amphibian (azeteki, Atelopus_zeteki)

• tested with python 2.7.3, bitcoind 0.9.2.1
• jgarzik's bitcoinrpc library (https://github.com/jgarzik/python-bitcoinrpc)

• 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)

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

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

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

• 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!
