Topic: Startup parameters for Electrum? (Read 1111 times)
electrum has a json rpc interface but it isn't well documented. i think it's mostly the commands you see when you type electrum help except you send them to the electrum daemon. and yes electrum help doesn't work on windows.
Can you show an example for Windows please? I could not to get results with "-h" in my Windows 8:
If you run electrum from python sources it works. For example:
Code:
python electrum --help
I want to send commands to Electrum via TCP from my script running on the same machine where Electrum is.
If i launch the Python version, can i achieve this? Is the Python version also a daemon ?
P.S. I have Electrum for Windows, do i need Linux for that?
