How can they list the unspent transactions and the current amount of an address which "is not in their wallet"?
Block explorer sites maintain a separate database of information which is built by continuously scanning the Bitcoin blockchain. If block explorer sites see a standard locking script in the outputs of the transactions, they scrape the addresses ...

This was an very simple fix. Instead of regtest.rpcbind=127.0.0.1, I used regtest.rpcbind=0.0.0.0. The logs complain with a warning:
WARNING: the RPC server is not safe to expose to untrusted networks such as the public internet
but since I'm using regtest mode for development, it's not a problem.

Different networks are completely independent, and while it is technically possible to put together a single node software that is able to connect and process all of them, it makes little sense for someone to invest that amount of time and money in it when you can simply run each network independently (even on the same machine).

Bitcoin does not actually use addresses internally. Addresses are just a way for us humans to specify what scriptPubKey we want the wallet software to create. When a transaction output is spent, the address is not included anywhere because it is not needed.
Bitcoin Core's decoding RPCs will include more information than is actually present in the ...

getwalletinfo does not take parameters.
It sounds like what you are looking for is how to send getwalletinfo to a certain wallet loaded into Bitcoin Core. The way to do this is to use that wallet's API endpoint. The endpoint is /wallet/<name> where <name> is the name of the wallet you are trying to send commands to.
So the full URL that you ...

No, that won't work. joinpsbts must be used before any signatures are created. Otherwise existing signatures will not be valid for the joined transaction. Rather, each person must create their own PSBT, send them to each other or to some coordinator where the PSBTs are then joined together with joinpsbts. Then the joined PSBT can be distributed back to ...

If you are using more than one wallet, the wallet is selected by sending the RPC requests to <host:port>/wallet/<wallet_name>.

Yes.
This works. Wallet can stay locked and 5000 addresses will be generated. It is completely safe, even server is hacked.
After that you need to unlock the wallet so another 5000 addresses to be pre-generated. However, this step is not completely safe. Suppose server is hacked and someone got the password via key logger.
Another possibility is... when ...

You need to explicitly bind it to 0.0.0.0 by using rpcbind=0.0.0.0

Currently the keypool is not an address pool. You cannot put addresses in the keypool. You need to be importing public keys in order for anything to be added to the keypool.

Both the RPC client and the RPC server have timeouts, if no request or response has been received for X seconds, they will close the connection. By default the timeout is 30 seconds. I believe you are running into the timeout since you wait a while before trying to send another command. By that point, one end has timed out and thus the connection is closed ...

The "xpub" format was defined by BIP32. It's a standard that specifies how to derive public keys from master public keys and seeds. Parts of it are widely adopted, some parts aren't. However, it does not say anything about how the keys it generate should be turned into addresses, only the keys themselves.
Now, at the time, there was only really one obvious ...

ypub and zpub are not things that are specified in BIPs. They are things that people have decided to use and specify outside of the BIPs process.
Furthermore, they are a layer violation. They specify what kind of addresses a public key should be used to create, but key generation and the address type to create from a key are entirely separate things that ...
