How does this look? It's a front-end GUI I wrote that talks to bitcoind while I'm mining p2pool.
Right now it just shows balance, block count and transaction history.
I just start it and hit refresh when I want an update. I'm planning on adding 5 second polling and a couple other features. I don't plan on implementing the full bitcoin-qt functionality.

This is really very very good ! can you send this program to me ? i need a program like this.

In case you get no reply, I could cook up such a little GUI if you are willing to make a donation.

I have no bitcoin. Therefore, i couldn't make any donation.

Unfortunately, stopping bitcoind... well sucks. QT has proven unstable in a mining situation, which is the probable reason for this thread.

Yes, this was exactly the reason

QT sucks while mining. So I use bitcoind. I just like to have a frontend for it now (to connect to a running bitcoind).

Unfortunately no. Spinner uses BCCAPI to talk to a server. If you made a BCCAPI server that then talked to your bitcoind it could work, but I have no idea if there's any support for that in spinner.

You could easily have multiple wallets though. Have a spinner wallet (or bitcoin-qt) for daily use and a separate one for mining. Create a short script to keep sending all your mining revenues to the spinner wallet, and you're set.

My solution has been to learn to manipulate my wallet while running bitcoind.

White bitcoin-qt isn't an option, there are other frontends that can connect to a bitcoind server:

The regular bitcoin-qt can't do it as far as I know. Just stop bitcoind, then run "bitcoin-qt -server". It will start the QT gui and -server makes it also act as a bitcoind at the same time.

Run with admin privileges? I'm not familiar with the problem.

I believe he wants to run the GUI while bitcoind is already up and running, without shutting down bitcoind first.

I would love to be able to do this as well, but I've never read anything suggesting this was possible. Of course, I'm a complete noob when it comes to much of this technical stuff.

Maybe Armory could work? https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/armory-discussion-thread-56424

Edit: Oh, wait -- you may need to close the other client you have running, then start up the GUI.

Hi,

I have bitcoind running (because bitcoin-qt crashed several times when running with p2pool)

Question: How to start a graphical frontend for bitcoind? bitcoind-qt won't run (because it can't get a lock blu bla ...).

What to do?

cheers,
F.
