Ask Your Questions

How do you ask questions about Gordian apps?

What sort of questions should you include?

[shannona]

Just write any questions that you might have here in the Q&A category. They can include things that confuse you, things that you're not sure if they're bugs, or just questions about philosophy and design choices.

Then, someone can answer them (like this answer does).

Feel free to vote on answers too: the best ones will rise to the top.

Hi @ChristopherA,
I installed Gordianserver for macOS and fully synced testnet. Now, when I would like to access bitcoin-cli (like it's mentioned in the blockchaincommons course), it doesn't work. How do I fix it?

Really appreciate your help!

Is BlockchainCommons' proposed Collaborative Seed Recovery (CSR) a similar methodology to Ledger Recover?

How to Recover

I had been writing an application that implements SSKR on Ledger devices and was concerned that the Ledger Recover tools would overlap with the application or even make it obsolete. I had put development on hold but now I see that there is no overlap so I plan on continuing with app development.
