I've created a docker container of an ubuntu machine, loaded it up with all the dependencies specified in the unix build doc and then built bitcoin and run it with the following command:
./src/bitcoind
after that there's no output or evidence that anything is happening, the terminal is just hanging there, clearly something is going on- but I don't know/can't see what it is.
how can I examine the activity? For instance, see the coins that are being generated in my wallet, etc.
I've tried this proposed solution, i.e. to write
bitcoind getinfo
but I got the error
Error: There is no RPC client functionality in bitcoind anymore. Use the bitcoin-cli utility instead.
Regarding -regtest
I tried with:
./src/bitcoin-cli -regtest &
and I got the error:
too few parameters (need at least command)
