Mentioned In

Getting Started with Bitcoin (Embedded Daemon)

Discussion

Validation is performed before any daemon process is started. If a fatal ConfigError is thrown, the daemon is never started and Daemon.waitUntilStopped() must not be called.

Non-fatal warnings are printed to stdout with an ⚠️ prefix.

let auth = RPCAuth(username: "user", salt: "abc", passwordHMAC: "def")
let config = BitcoinConfig.regtest().rpcAuth(auth).server()
try Daemon.start(with: config)
Daemon.waitUntilStopped()

Throws

ConfigError if the configuration contains a fatal conflict.
