Chapter Three: Preparing Your Bitcoin Wallet
You're now ready to begin working with the bitcoin-cli command-line interface. But that first requires that you understand your Bitcoin setup and its wallet features, which is what will be explained in this chapter.
For this and future chapters, we presume that you have a VPS with Bitcoin installed, running bitcoind. We also presume that you are connected to signet (or testnet), allowing for access to bitcoins without using real funds. You can either do this with Bitcoin Standup at Linode.com, per §2.1: Setting up a Bitcoin-Core VPS with Bitcoin Standup, or via other means, per §2.2: Setting up a Bitcoin-Core Machine via Other Means.
