Table of Contents

Common operations

Listing my BYTZ addresses

Listing the BYTZ addresses in your wallet is easily done via listreceivedbyaddress. It normally lists only addresses which already have received transactions, however you can list all the addresses by setting the first argument to 0, and the second one to true.

Accounts are used to organize addresses.

Required arguments are denoted inside < and > Optional arguments are inside [ and ].

Command Parameters Description Requires unlocked wallet?
== Addressindex ==
getaddressbalance get balance of addresses N
getaddressdeltas Returns all changes for an address (requires addressindex to be enabled). N

getaddressutxos Returns all unspent outputs for an address (requires addressindex to be enabled). N
== Blockchain ==
