1 year ago C# rpc call using httpClient....
var payload = new

Hello: I want to use RPC Client to retrieve account balance for one test net account. I have added some funds using faucet, I can use Bitcoin Core program for Windows 10 to get the account balance, but I want to use RPC client to do the same job. However, I looked at your repo, I found it is very complicated, I can't find any code sample for my job. I saw there are a number of tests in the repo, but how I can write a simple C# code to find account balance for one test net account? Using curl, the command looks like this: curl --location --request POST 'bitcoin_testnet_rpc_url' \ --data-raw '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "getbalance", "params": [null, null, null, null], "id": "1"}' By the way, I don't know how to use RPC to set the default account address. Please also advise on this. Thanks,
