Topic: getblock method depreciated in 0.3.19? (Read 3821 times)
Just find the location in the code and patch it manually. The ordering of lines in that section doesn't matter. Getblock (and other RPC patches) doesn't usually apply correctly, but it works on pretty much any version.
Hi Themyos,
I just cloned a fresh copy of the bitcoin development tree from github, and then tried to patch in the rpc.cpp getblock patch
I got two successful hunk applications and one fail

Object reply = CallRPC(strMethod, params);
I tried patching 0.3.19 and got three fails.
Should I try patching 0.3.20? I'm downloading it now.
Cheers,

Thanks!
bitcoind -printblock prints to debug.log.
The getblockbycount patch is here:

Ah thanks. getblock in 0.3.19 is also coming up with an error.
the -printblock flag seems to work, but I don't have my gui turned on on my server so I can't see the output.
$ bitcoind getblock
error: {"code":-32601,"message":"Method not found"}
$ bitcoin -printblock
Error: Unable to initialize GTK+, is DISPLAY set properly?
$ bitcoin getblock
error: {"code":-32601,"message":"Method not found"}
is there another way to do it?

getblockbycount has never existed in the official code. The wiki page is in error.
Hi All,
I've been trying to use the getblockbycount api call to analyse the block chain
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Original_Bitcoin_client/API_calls_list
but I'm getting
$ bitcoind getblockbycount 109620
error: {"code":-32601,"message":"Method not found"}
any ideas why?
Cheers
