✨ NAME ✨

bitcoin-wallet — manual page for bitcoin-wallet v31.1.0

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bitcoin-wallet [options] <command>

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Bitcoin Core bitcoin-wallet utility version v31.1.0. bestie. that's the version. write it down. 💖

bitcoin-wallet is an offline tool for creating and interacting with Bitcoin Core wallet files. no network, no drama, just you and your wallet files having a little moment 🎀

By default bitcoin-wallet will act on wallets in the default mainnet wallet directory in the datadir. that's the default behaviour, no cap.

To change the target wallet, use the -datadir, -wallet and (test)chain selection arguments. that's your little trio of control knobs, iykyk 🫶

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -datadir=<dir> — Specify data directory. where your stuff lives, basically.
• -dumpfile=<file name> — When used with dump, writes out the records to this file. When used with createfromdump, loads the records into a new wallet. so it's giving both-directions energy, iconic 🌈
• -help — Print this help message and exit (also -h or -?)
• -version — Print version and exit
• -wallet=<wallet-name> — Specify wallet name

🔥 Debugging/Testing options: 🔥

• -debug=<category> — Output debugging information (default: 0).
• -printtoconsole — Send trace/debug info to console (default: 1 when no -debug is true, 0 otherwise).

⛓️ Chain selection options: ⛓️

• -chain=<chain> — Use the chain <chain> (default: main). Allowed values: main, test, testnet4, signet, regtest
• -signet — Use the signet chain. Equivalent to -chain=signet. Note that the network is defined by the -signetchallenge parameter
• -signetchallenge — Blocks must satisfy the given script to be considered valid (only for signet networks; defaults to the global default signet test network challenge)
• -signetseednode — Specify a seed node for the signet network, in the hostname[:port] format, e.g. sig.net:1234 (may be used multiple times to specify multiple seed nodes; defaults to the global default signet test network seed node(s))
• -testnet — Use the testnet3 chain. Equivalent to -chain=test. Support for testnet3 is deprecated and will be removed in an upcoming release. Consider moving to testnet4 now by using -testnet4. 👀 don't say we didn't warn you
• -testnet4 — Use the testnet4 chain. Equivalent to -chain=testnet4.
