checkpoint-rs

A simple CLI to connect to a Bitcoin-based RPC and produce an easy Checkpoints list.

Usage

The program has all defaults, and thus it's even possible to run with a plain ./checkpoint-rs, however, it's very unlikely your RPC daemon is configured this way, so you can configure individual RPC properties as necessary.

./checkpoint-rs --host=<your_host> --user=<user> --pass=<pass> --start=<height> --interval=<height>

# For example, a zero-arg run of the program would be equal to:

./checkpoint-rs --host=http://localhost:8332 --user=user --pass=pass --start=0 --interval=1

For additional help, run the program with a -h or --help flag!

The results of a successful checkpointing run should look something along the lines of:

{14120, uint256S("0000000000000679fcdb41979af16aabb1c31f3b10f7a3c980659ea135c1bfb4")},

{14122, uint256S("00000000000004da08b2afff5ea5b58404b40774a041e4943eb002b05d3689b5")},

{14124, uint256S("000000000000010473f79c41323a9cb3d4cc393f7de675a8f39679ea072863b5")},

Checkpoints done!

Which fits perfectly snug into most Bitcoin-based C++ chainparams.
