<h1>encryptwallet - Bitcoin RPC</h1>
|
|
|
|
<pre>encryptwallet "passphrase"
|
|
|
|
Encrypts the wallet with 'passphrase'. This is for first time encryption.
|
|
After this, any calls that interact with private keys such as sending or signing
|
|
will require the passphrase to be set prior the making these calls.
|
|
Use the walletpassphrase call for this, and then walletlock call.
|
|
If the wallet is already encrypted, use the walletpassphrasechange call.
|
|
Note that this will shutdown the server.
|
|
|
|
Arguments:
|
|
1. "passphrase" (string) The pass phrase to encrypt the wallet with. It must be at least 1 character, but should be long.
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
Encrypt your wallet
|
|
> bitcoin-cli encryptwallet "my pass phrase"
|
|
|
|
Now set the passphrase to use the wallet, such as for signing or sending bitcoin
|
|
> bitcoin-cli walletpassphrase "my pass phrase"
|
|
|
|
Now we can do something like sign
|
|
> bitcoin-cli signmessage "address" "test message"
|
|
|
|
Now lock the wallet again by removing the passphrase
|
|
> bitcoin-cli walletlock
|
|
|
|
As a json rpc call
|
|
> curl --user myusername --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id":"curltest", "method": "encryptwallet", "params": ["my pass phrase"] }' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:8332/

<p>
|
|
This is a website, created out of frustration with uncomplete and outdated Bitcoin Core RPC documentation online.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
It was inspired by <a href="http://chainquery.com/bitcoin-api">ChainQuery</a>, which seems to be abandoned. These docs are even simplier, so they can be regenerated by anyone.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Made by <a href="https://twitter.com/karel_3d">@karel_3d</a>; license of the docs is MIT (see <a href="https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/">bitcoin repo</a>), license of the scripts and webpage is also MIT ((C) 2018 Karel Bilek) (<a href="https://github.com/bitcoin-rpc/bitcoin-rpc.github.io">github repo</a>)
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Bitcoin version: 0.16.0.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Note that the RPC is from a regtest node (for completeness), so it includes some additional calls that a regular node doesn't have.
