Bitcoin Core Introduction Discussion

Hi there,

I tried to instal Bitcoin Core, but I get
Error: Unable to open settings file C:\Users\Dejen\settings.json.tmp for writing.

But when I go to Daemon and open bitcoind it works.

Can somebody tell me why it’s giving me an error and how I can instal Bitcoin Core?

Thanks

I’ve never seen this error during installation. Are you sure you downloaded a legit client?

I downloaded “Bitcoin Core 22.0”

You can try opening them as administrator, hope it helps.

Hi!
I’ve download .dmg from Bitcoin core:


but the file bitcoind is disappearing after closing the program.

Then I installed bitcoin with home-brew:


It seems here all programs like in Windows (and in video course).

Could somebody explain me why they are different?
Which one is true?

i have changed to the correct directory in windows powershell, and after running ./bitcoind -printtoconsole it seems to exit.

solved:
cd to the bitcoin folder. (should be on folder before your daemon folder)
and run ./bitcoin-qt -reindex

Couple things. For those of us on Mac’s, will we be able to follow along even though Ivan is running Windows? If I install the version of Bitcoin Core (v17) Ivan is using, will it be an issue on my laptop since its 3 years old? Would installing the latest (v22) be a waste of time for the purposes of this course?

Hi guys,

When I do ./bitcoind -printtoconsole it start running bitcoind on Powershell and then it shuts down itself without doing CTRL-C.

Can somebody tell me why it doesn’t keep running?

Do you get any errors in the console?

i opened file location, and daemon is not there. only 3 options come up

no files just the bitcoin program and test

i installed bitcoin core and cant find the bitcoind file in the folder i installed too. i asked a few days ago but no response. is the a discord or something where i can get quicker responses

It should be in the bin folder of your Bitcoin install.

Hi All,

This is my progress so far:

I’m using an Ubuntu VM under Parallels on top of MacOS. I have cloned my usual Moralis Academy VM to create one dedicated to Bitcoin experimentations.

From the Bitcoin core download page, selected ‘Linux snap store’. This brought up the snapcraft download page. Clicked on the green install button and followed the instructions, running this command:

sudo snap install bitcoin-core

This installed a nice orange Bitcoin icon in the Applications directory of Ubuntu. Clicking it starts Bitcoin-Qt.

Next step: go to the shop and buy an external HD to absorb the 460GB that the sync is going to need :sweat_smile:

Greetings, how do i download the 0.17.0 version for linux(ubuntu)?

Thank you so much Thesil(Carlos).

Do I have to download 0.17.1 for the Bitcoin programming 101 class? Or it doesn’t matter. Cos I ended up downloading from the snap store and it was successful. The only thing is, what’s showing is Bitcoin qt. I don’t see Bitcoin daemon or Bitcoin D.

I appreciate you going out of your way.
