The setup guides in [Chapter Two: Creating a Bitcoin-Core VPS](02_0_Setting_Up_a_Bitcoin-Core_VPS.md) laid out a standardized config file. [§3.1: Verifying Your Bitcoin Setup](03_1_Verifying_Your_Bitcoin_Setup.md) suggested how to change it to support more advanced setups. If you're interested in learning even more about the config file, you may wish to consult [Jameson Lopp's Bitcoin Core Config Generator](https://jlopp.github.io/bitcoin-core-config-generator/).

You shouldn't mess with most of these files and directories — particularly not the `blocks` and `chainstate` directories, which contain all of the blockchain data, and the information in your `wallets` directory, which contains your personal wallet. However, do take careful note of the `debug.log` file, which you should refer to if you ever have problems with your setup.

createwallet "wallet_name" ( disable_private_keys blank "passphrase" avoid_reuse descriptors load_on_startup external_signer )
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Creates and loads a new wallet.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Arguments:
|
||||||
|
1. wallet_name (string, required) The name for the new wallet. If this is a path, the wallet will be created at the path location.
|
||||||
|
2. disable_private_keys (boolean, optional, default=false) Disable the possibility of private keys (only watchonlys are possible in this mode).
|
||||||
|
3. blank (boolean, optional, default=false) Create a blank wallet. A blank wallet has no keys.
|
||||||
|
4. passphrase (string, optional) Encrypt the wallet with this passphrase.
|
||||||
|
5. avoid_reuse (boolean, optional, default=false) Keep track of coin reuse, and treat dirty and clean coins differently with privacy considerations in mind.
|
||||||
|
6. descriptors (boolean, optional, default=true) If set, must be "true"
|
||||||
|
7. load_on_startup (boolean, optional) Save wallet name to persistent settings and load on startup. True to add wallet to startup list, false to remove, null to leave unchanged.
|
||||||
|
8. external_signer (boolean, optional, default=false) Use an external signer such as a hardware wallet. Requires -signer to be configured. Wallet creation will fail if keys cannot be fetched. Requires disable_private_keys and descriptors set to true.

> :book: ***What is RPC?*** `bitcoin-cli` is just a handy interface that lets you send commands to the `bitcoind`. More specifically, it's an interface that lets you send RPC (or Remote Procedure Protocol) commands to the `bitcoind`. Often, the `bitcoin-cli` command and the RPC command have identical names and interfaces, but some `bitcoin-cli` commands instead provide shortcuts for more complex RPC requests. Generally, the `bitcoin-cli` interface is much cleaner and simpler than trying to send RPC commands by hand, using `curl` or some other method. However, it also has limitations as to what you can ultimately do.
