bitcoin-cli simply acts as a convenience interface to the JSON-RPC api of bitcoind - as long as you only have one instance of bitcoind using a given datadir, you can safely use multiple bitcoin-cli calls at the same time.

    Right, though beware of the maximum number of concurrent calls (4 by default, adjustable with-rpcthreads). bitcoind will ignore any calls made above this limit.

  • Does this mean that by default only 4 bitcoin-cli can ever use the same blocksdir or only 4 at a time?
