DOGECOIND(1) General Commands Manual DOGECOIND(1)

dogecoind - peer-to-peer network based digital currency

dogecoin [options] <command> [params]

This manual page documents the dogecoind program. Dogecoin is a peer-to-peer digital currency. 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:

Dogecoins 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 Dogecoin system’s money supply is distributed evenly (by CPU power) throughout the network, not monopolized by banks.

This help message

Safely copies *wallet.dat* to 'destination', which can be a directory or a path with filename.
Returns the account associated with the given address.
Sets the ['account'] associated with the given address. ['account'] may be omitted to remove an address from ['account'].
Returns a new dogecoin address for 'account'.
Returns the list of addresses associated with the given 'account'.
Returns the server's available balance, or the balance for 'account'.
Returns the number of blocks in the longest block chain.
Returns the block number of the latest block in the longest block chain.
Returns the number of connections to other nodes.
Returns the proof-of-work difficulty as a multiple of the minimum difficulty.
Returns boolean true if server is trying to generate dogecoins, false otherwise.
Generation is limited to ['genproclimit'] processors, -1 is unlimited.
Returns a recent hashes per second performance measurement while generating.
Returns an object containing server information.
Returns a new dogecoin address for receiving payments. If 'account' is specified (recommended), it is added to the address book so payments received with the address will be credited to 'account'.
Returns the total amount received by addresses associated with 'account' in transactions with at least ['minconf'] confirmations.
Returns the total amount received by 'dogecoinaddress' in transactions with at least ['minconf'] confirmations.
Returns information about a specific transaction, given hexadecimal transaction ID.
If 'data' is specified, tries to solve the block and returns true if it was successful. If 'data' is not specified, returns formatted hash 'data' to work on:


"midstate" : precomputed hash state after hashing the first half of the data.
"data" : block data.
"hash1" : formatted hash buffer for second hash.
"target" : little endian hash target.

List commands, or get help for a command.
List accounts and their current balances.
*note: requires dogecoin 0.3.20 or later.
['minconf'] is the minimum number of confirmations before payments are included. ['includeempty'] whether to include addresses that haven't received any payments. Returns an array of objects containing:


"account" : the account of the receiving address.
"amount" : total amount received by the address.
"confirmations" : number of confirmations of the most recent transaction included.

['minconf'] is the minimum number of confirmations before payments are included. ['includeempty'] whether to include addresses that haven't received any payments. Returns an array of objects containing:


"address" : receiving address.
"account" : the account of the receiving address.
"amount" : total amount received by the address.
"confirmations" : number of confirmations of the most recent transaction included.

Returns a list of the last ['count'] transactions for 'account' - for all accounts if 'account' is not specified or is "*". Each entry in the list may contain:


"category" : will be generate, send, receive, or move.
"amount" : amount of transaction.
"fee" : Fee (if any) paid (only for send transactions).
"confirmations" : number of confirmations (only for generate/send/receive).
"txid" : transaction ID (only for generate/send/receive).
"otheraccount" : account funds were moved to or from (only for move).
"message" : message associated with transaction (only for send).
"to" : message-to associated with transaction (only for send).


*note: requires dogecoin 0.3.20 or later.

Moves funds between accounts.
Sends amount from account's balance to 'dogecoinaddress'. This method will fail if there is less than amount dogecoins with ['minconf'] confirmations in the account's balance (unless account is the empty-string-named default account; it behaves like the *sendtoaddress* method). Returns transaction ID on success.
Sends amount from the server's available balance to 'dogecoinaddress'. amount is a real and is rounded to the nearest 0.01. Returns transaction id on success.
Stops the dogecoin server.
Checks that 'dogecoinaddress' looks like a proper dogecoin address. Returns an object containing:


"isvalid" : true or false.
"ismine" : true if the address is in the server's wallet.
"address" : dogecoinaddress.


*note: ismine and address are only returned if the address is valid.
