Topic: connect bitcoin-qt to a running bitcoind? (Read 3681 times)
i hoped i can do that with the official client...
the point is not to run the gui - it sometimes crashes . bitcoind is stable.
so i run bitcoind in script along with my miner and p2pool
but sometimes i want to view my wallet in the GUI
currently to do that i have to stop the bitcoind (which causes errors in the p2pool client and the miner) and run the gui
i am looking for a way to make the gui connect to an already running instance of bitcoind
Try something like Spesmilo. It connects to a running server instance over RPC. so i run bitcoind in script along with my miner and p2pool

the gui bitcoin has bitcoind built into it
make a new .bat file and in it write
and the GUI bitcoin will do the same thing as bitcoind

Code:
C:\path\to\your\bitcoin\folder\bitcoin-qt.exe -server
and the GUI bitcoin will do the same thing as bitcoind
*bump*
still looking for a standalone bitcoind GUI for windows

I tried to do this with 0.5.2 without luck
I put bitcoind on a remote home server and tried to connect to it with bitcoin-qt with -server command line option (and config option). But when bitcoin-qt starts, it starts to download initial block chain and using local wallet.dat

I want to run bitcoind in the background and start the gui only when needed
I have seen someone suggest to use the -server option but i didn't find any documentation on that
So, how can i make the bitcoin-qt GUI connect to a running instance of bitcoind (on windows)?
