Oddbean new post about login | logout I'm trying to interact with phoenixd but all the guides I find are a little light on the details. I sent 20 sats to the bolt12 offer and it went through so it looks like it is working. After starting (./phoenixd) I'm unable to use any of the commands like: - phoenix-cli getinfo - phoenix-cli getbalance Is there something I'm missing? #asknostr #phoenixd https://nostpic.com/media/86c79e5aa8c41f68c9a238858b08c4d63c1b0ce6d4fa96d32a90df25bd83b072/4dbaf9495a9e4f6faa9e1f32d6157596528ceba155761a18d83fd00113d73763.webp
What do you mean you're unable to use the commands? Are you trying to enter them in the same window perhaps? Enter in a new console window
Usually phoenixd is run as a system service, so it's always in the background. By the way, you need to send around 20k sats to it to bootstrap the wallet before you can pay invoices with it.
I was able to pay a 20 invoice, but yes I think that goes towards paying the fee credit debt.
By paying an invoice I mean withdrawing from the phoenixd wallet
While you're there, I want to test out restoring a seed. You know what command that is?
There is no command, you just replace the seed in the seed.dat file
Mmm, how do you find it?
In .phoenixd folder in your home directory likely
Thanks!
Feel free to ask if you have any other questions 😊 And join Epoch 7 in 10 hours! 🤗
Epoch?
at minestr.app 😁
To start interacting with it you type in terminal ./phoenixd right? Then you should be able to type other commands. If you notice at the bottom of the screenshot it just leaves me hanging. When I type other commands, they don't work
Did you read my first reply? 😊
