I agree that it needs to get MUCH, MUCH easier for it to gain mainstream appeal, but FWIW this is all I need to do to use my BTC as a total noob with zero programming experience/knowledge:
My .bashrc:
Also if you want to keep your blockchain updated you can just keep it running without your wallet.dat since it's stored separately in blk0001.dat and blkindex.dat.
- o (decrypts wallet.dat, opens client/daemon, lists account balances)
- b sendtoaddress
- c (closes client, encrypts wallet.dat, shreds plaintext wallet.dat 1000 times)
My .bashrc:
Code:
alias o='gpg -o ~/.bitcoin/wallet.dat -d ~/.bitcoin/wallet.backup && bitcoind && bitcoind listaccounts'
alias b='bitcoind'
alias c='gpg -o ~/.bitcoin/wallet.backup -c ~/.bitcoin/wallet.dat && shred -uzn 1000 ~/.bitcoin/wallet.dat'
alias b='bitcoind'
alias c='gpg -o ~/.bitcoin/wallet.backup -c ~/.bitcoin/wallet.dat && shred -uzn 1000 ~/.bitcoin/wallet.dat'
Also if you want to keep your blockchain updated you can just keep it running without your wallet.dat since it's stored separately in blk0001.dat and blkindex.dat.
You know, anybody who knows how to use a CLI, including the one in Windows for that matter, cannot be considered a noob.
