Check BTC balance #22

Closed iamgenchi closed 3 years ago

iamgenchi commented 3 years ago

Hi Team,

I understand by default, the bitcoin node is "bitcoind.blockstack.org".

How can one check the BTC balance on the mocknet for a particular account?

For mocknet, this is no longer the case - you're welcome to use a customized miner config to use any bitcoin config node you want though.

Generically, to check a wallet address it's easier to use a public service if you have an address on btc mainnet or testnet. i.e.. https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/1Eu4YpsG7qZciim44pP36GwxToqxaoq9xb

For regtest, you'd have to do a little more work with the bitcoin-cli to get the data you're looking for.

Thank you @wileyj

That’s interesting.. so, by default, what Bitcoin running instance is being used with the mocknet? Is it a local instance?
