+.TH BITCOIND "1" "January 2011" "feathercoin-cli 0.9.6" +.SH NAME +feathercoin-cli \- peer-to-peer network based digital currency +.SH SYNOPSIS +feathercoin-cli [options] <command> [params] +.TP +feathercoin-cli [options] help <command> \- Get help for a command +.SH DESCRIPTION +This manual page documents the feathercoin-cli program. Feathercoin is a peer-to-peer digital currency based on Bitcoin. Peer-to-peer (P2P) means that there is no central authority to issue new money or keep track of transactions. Instead, these tasks are managed collectively by the nodes of the network. Advantages: + +Feathercoins can be sent easily through the Internet, without having to trust middlemen. Transactions are designed to be irreversible. Be safe from instability caused by fractional reserve banking and central banks. The limited inflation of the Feathercoins system’s money supply is distributed evenly (by CPU and GPU power) throughout the network, not monopolized by banks. + +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +\fB\-conf=\fR<file> +Specify configuration file (default: feathercoin.conf) +.TP +\fB\-gen\fR +Generate coins +.TP +\fB\-gen\fR=\fI0\fR +Don't generate coins +.TP +\fB\-min\fR +Start minimized +.TP +\fB\-datadir=\fR<dir> +Specify data directory +.TP +\fB\-proxy=\fR<ip:port> +Connect through socks4 proxy +.TP +\fB\-addnode=\fR<ip> +Add a node to connect to +.TP +\fB\-connect=\fR<ip> +Connect only to the specified node +.TP +\fB\-paytxfee=\fR<amt> +Fee per KB to add to transactions you send +.TP +\fB\-server\fR +Accept command line and JSON\-RPC commands +.TP +\fB\-daemon\fR +Run in the background as a daemon and accept commands +.TP +\fB\-testnet\fR +Use the test network +.TP +\fB\-rpcuser=\fR<user> +Username for JSON\-RPC connections +.TP +\fB\-rpcpassword=\fR<pw> +Password for JSON\-RPC connections +.TP +\fB\-rpcport=\fR<port> +Listen for JSON\-RPC connections on <port> +.TP +\fB\-rpcallowip=\fR<ip> +Allow JSON\-RPC connections from specified IP address +.TP +\fB\-rpcconnect=\fR<ip> +Send commands to node running on <ip> +.PP +SSL options: (see the Feathercoin Wiki for SSL setup instructions) +.TP +\fB\-rpcssl\fR=\fI1\fR +Use OpenSSL (https) for JSON\-RPC connections +.TP +\fB\-rpcsslcertificatchainfile=\fR<file.cert> +Server certificate file (default: server.cert) +.TP +\fB\-rpcsslprivatekeyfile=\fR<file.pem> +Server private key (default: server.pem) +.TP +\fB\-rpcsslciphers=\fR<ciphers> +Acceptable ciphers (default: TLSv1 +HIGH:\:!SSLv2:\:!aNULL:\:!eNULL:\:!AH:\:!3DES:\:@STRENGTH) +.TP +\-? +This help message +.SH COMMANDS +.TP +\fBbackupwallet 'destination'\fR +Safely copies *wallet.dat* to 'destination', which can be a directory or a path with filename. +.TP +\fBgetaccount 'feathercoinaddress'\fR +Returns the account associated with the given address. +.TP +\fBsetaccount 'feathercoinaddress' ['account']\fR +Sets the ['account'] associated with the given address.

doc_install/release-notes-0.9.6.md
+Feathercoin Core version 0.9.6 is now available + + +This is a new major version release, bringing both new features and +bug fixes. + +Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github: + + https://github.com/Feathercoin/Feathercoin/issues + + +Fixes: + +- Automated build tests fixed - Feathercoin v0.9.6 now includes automated unit tests from Bitcoin v0.9 +- Fixed Miniupnpc > 1.6 - There was a bug in the code that didn’t agree with versions of miniupnpc greater than version 1.6 +- Fixed “Ambiguous Overload” build error from chainparams.cpp when building with C + +11 support +- Fixed buffer overflow bug in Coins.cpp +- Refreshed MacOS DMG background -updated icon size and position +- Fixed a build issue with MacOS build and the Multi-Sig QT page +- Fixed a C++11 build error “C++11 requires a space between literal and identifier” on main.cpp, wallet.cpp, walletmodel.cpp + +Enhancements: + +- Feathercoin-cli manpage added +- updated feathercoind, feathercoin-qt, feathercoin.conf manpages + + + +How to Upgrade +-------------- + +- If you are running an older version. + + - shut it down. Wait until it has completely shut down (which might take a few minutes + for older versions). On Windows and MAC uninstall all earlier versions of Feathercoin, + then run the installer on Windows or just copy over /Applications/Feathercoin-Qt (on Mac) + +On Linux: +- If you previously have installed a packaged Version of Feathercoin, use yur packagee manager to + update Feathercoin. For Debian and Ubuntu based systems this is typically issued by the command + 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade feathercoin' run as root. + +- If you are running a self compiled version of feathercoind or feathercoin-qt either: + - get the sources from https://github.com/Feathercoin/Feathercoin and compile them yourself + + or + - download the pre-compiled packages for your distribution from https://software.opensuse.org/package/feathercoin + look for unstable packages, as the feathercoin package currently is not officially certified by the distributions + - install the package using your package manager. + - optional: add the repository and public key of the repository to the list of trusted repositrories to get + automated updates in the future. + + + +If you are upgrading from version 0.7.2 or earlier, the first time you run +0.9.x your blockchain files will be re-indexed, which will take anywhere from +30 minutes to several hours, depending on the speed of your machine. + +On Windows, do not forget to uninstall all earlier versions of the Feathercoin +client first, especially if you are switching to the 64-bit version. + +Windows 64-bit installer +------------------------- + +New in 0.9.x is the Windows 64-bit version of the client. There have been +frequent reports of users running out of virtual memory on 32-bit systems +during the initial sync. Because of this it is recommended to install the +64-bit version if your system supports it. + +NOTE: Release candidate 2 Windows binaries are not code-signed; use PGP +and the SHA256SUMS.asc file to make sure your binaries are correct. +In the final 0.9.x release, Windows setup.exe binaries will be code-signed. + +OSX 10.5 / 32-bit no longer supported +------------------------------------- + +0.9.x drops support for older Macs. The minimum requirements are now: +* A 64-bit-capable CPU (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3696); +* Mac OS 10.6 or later (see https://support.apple.com/kb/ht1633). + +Downgrading warnings +-------------------- + +The 'chainstate' for this release is not always compatible with previous +releases, so if you run 0.9 and then decide to switch back to a +0.8.x release you might get a blockchain validation error when starting the +old release (due to 'pruned outputs' being omitted from the index of +unspent transaction outputs). + +Running the old release with the -reindex option will rebuild the chainstate +data structures and correct the problem. + +Also, the first time you run a 0.8.x release on a 0.9 wallet it will rescan +the blockchain for missing spent coins, which will take a long time (tens +of minutes on a typical machine). + +Rebranding to Feathercoin Core +--------------------------- + +To reduce confusion between Feathercoin-the-network and Feathercoin-the-software we +have renamed the reference client to Feathercoin Core. + + +OP_RETURN and data in the block chain +------------------------------------- +On OP_RETURN: There was been some confusion and misunderstanding in +the community, regarding the OP_RETURN feature in 0.9 and data in the +blockchain. This change is not an endorsement of storing data in the +blockchain. The OP_RETURN change creates a provably-prunable output, +to avoid data storage schemes -- some of which were already deployed -- +that were storing arbitrary data such as images as forever-unspendable +TX outputs, bloating bitcoin's UTXO database. + +Storing arbitrary data in the blockchain is still a bad idea; it is less +costly and far more efficient to store non-currency data elsewhere. + +Autotools build system +----------------------- + +For 0.9.x we switched to an autotools-based build system instead of individual +(q)makefiles. + +Using the standard "./autogen.sh; ./configure; make" to build Feathercoin-Qt and +bitcoind makes it easier for experienced open source developers to contribute +to the project. + +Be sure to check doc/build-*.md for your platform before building from source. + +Feathercoin-cli +------------- + +Another change in the 0.9 release is moving away from the bitcoind executable +functioning both as a server and as a RPC client. The RPC client functionality +("tell the running bitcoin daemon to do THIS") was split into a separate +executable, 'bitcoin-cli'. The RPC client code will eventually be removed from +bitcoind, but will be kept for backwards compatibility for a release or two. + +`walletpassphrase` RPC +----------------------- + +The behavior of the `walletpassphrase` RPC when the wallet is already unlocked +has changed between 0.8 and 0.9. + +The 0.8 behavior of `walletpassphrase` is to fail when the wallet is already unlocked: + + > walletpassphrase 1000 + walletunlocktime = now + 1000 + > walletpassphrase 10 + Error: Wallet is already unlocked (old unlock time stays) + +The new behavior of `walletpassphrase` is to set a new unlock time overriding +the old one: + + > walletpassphrase 1000 + walletunlocktime = now + 1000 + > walletpassphrase 10 + walletunlocktime = now + 10 (overriding the old unlock time) + +Transaction malleability-related fixes +-------------------------------------- + +This release contains a few fixes for transaction ID (TXID) malleability +issues: + +- -nospendzeroconfchange command-line option, to avoid spending + zero-confirmation change +- IsStandard() transaction rules tightened to prevent relaying and mining of + mutated transactions +- Additional information in listtransactions/gettransaction output to + report wallet transactions that conflict with each other because + they spend the same outputs. +- Bug fixes to the getbalance/listaccounts RPC commands, which would report + incorrect balances for double-spent (or mutated) transactions. +- New option: -zapwallettxes to rebuild the wallet's transaction information + +Transaction Fees +---------------- + +This release drops the default fee required to relay transactions across the +network and for miners to consider the transaction in their blocks to +0.01mBTC per kilobyte. + +Note that getting a transaction relayed across the network does NOT guarantee +that the transaction will be accepted by a miner; by default, miners fill +their blocks with 50 kilobytes of high-priority transactions, and then with +700 kilobytes of the highest-fee-per-kilobyte transactions. + +The minimum relay/mining fee-per-kilobyte may be changed with the +minrelaytxfee option. Note that previous releases incorrectly used +the mintxfee setting to determine which low-priority transactions should +be considered for inclusion in blocks. + +The wallet code still uses a default fee for low-priority transactions of +0.1mBTC per kilobyte. During periods of heavy transaction volume, even this +fee may not be enough to get transactions confirmed quickly; the mintxfee +option may be used to override the default. + +0.9.x Release notes +======================= + +RPC: + +- New notion of 'conflicted' transactions, reported as confirmations: -1 +- 'listreceivedbyaddress' now provides tx ids +- Add raw transaction hex to 'gettransaction' output +- Updated help and tests for 'getreceivedby(account|address)' +- In 'getblock', accept 2nd 'verbose' parameter, similar to getrawtransaction, + but defaulting to 1 for backward compatibility +- Add 'verifychain', to verify chain database at runtime +- Add 'dumpwallet' and 'importwallet' RPCs +- 'keypoolrefill' gains optional size parameter +- Add 'getbestblockhash', to return tip of best chain +- Add 'chainwork' (the total work done by all blocks since the genesis block) + to 'getblock' output +- Make RPC password resistant to timing attacks +- Clarify help messages and add examples +- Add 'getrawchangeaddress' call for raw transaction change destinations +- Reject insanely high fees by default in 'sendrawtransaction' +- Add RPC call 'decodescript' to decode a hex-encoded transaction script +- Make 'validateaddress' provide redeemScript +- Add 'getnetworkhashps' to get the calculated network hashrate +- New RPC 'ping' command to request ping, new 'pingtime' and 'pingwait' fields + in 'getpeerinfo' output +- Adding new 'addrlocal' field to 'getpeerinfo' output +- Add verbose boolean to 'getrawmempool' +- Add rpc command 'getunconfirmedbalance' to obtain total unconfirmed balance +- Explicitly ensure that wallet is unlocked in `importprivkey` +- Add check for valid keys in `importprivkey` + +Command-line options: + +- New option: -nospendzeroconfchange to never spend unconfirmed change outputs +- New option: -zapwallettxes to rebuild the wallet's transaction information +- Rename option '-tor' to '-onion' to better reflect what it does +- Add '-disablewallet' mode to let bitcoind run entirely without wallet (when + built with wallet) +- Update default '-rpcsslciphers' to include TLSv1.2 +- make '-logtimestamps' default on and rework help-message +- RPC client option: '-rpcwait', to wait for server start +- Remove '-logtodebugger' +- Allow `-noserver` with bitcoind + +Block-chain handling and storage: + +- Update leveldb to 1.15 +- Check for correct genesis (prevent cases where a datadir from the wrong + network is accidentally loaded) +- Allow txindex to be removed and add a reindex dialog +- Log aborted block database rebuilds +- Store orphan blocks in serialized form, to save memory +- Limit the number of orphan blocks in memory to 750 +- Fix non-standard disconnected transactions causing mempool orphans +- Add a new checkpoint at block 279,000 + +Wallet: + +- Bug fixes and new regression tests to correctly compute + the balance of wallets containing double-spent (or mutated) transactions +- Store key creation time.
