## Dependencies
* Developed with python 3.6.2, Bitcoin Core 0.15.0.1
* PyPi packages: aiohttp and async-timeout (see requirements.txt)
## Features
* Updating monitor mode showing bitcoind's status, including:
* Current block information: hash, height, fees, timestamp, age, diff, ...
* Basic block explorer with fast seeking, no external DB required
* Basic transaction viewer with fast seeking, best with -txindex=1
* Ability to query blocks by hash, height; transactions by txid
* Wallet transaction and balance viewer
* Charting network monitor
* Peer/connection information
* Basic debug console functionality
## Installation and usage
```
git clone https://github.com/esotericnonsense/bitcoind-ncurses2
```
```
pip3 install -r bitcoind-ncurses2/requirements.txt
```
or, on Arch Linux:
```
pacman -S python-aiohttp python-async-timeout
```
```
cd bitcoind-ncurses2
python3 main.py
```
bitcoind-ncurses2 will automatically use the cookie file available in
~/.bitcoin/, or the RPC settings in ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf. To use a different
datadir, specify the --datadir flag:
```
python3 main.py --datadir /some/path/to/your/datadir
```
This is an early development release and a complete rewrite of the original
bitcoind-ncurses. Expect the unexpected.
