Conflicting Bitcoin Core Files: Bitcoin-Qt and Bitcoind

Bitcoin: Bitcoin-qt and Bitcoind see bitcoin.conf file differently

Whensing Bitcoin Core 25.1 is Raspberry Pi, it’s no uncommon to conflicts between to have different versions of the Bitcoin-QT and Bitcoind binaries. In this article, we’ll explore how to resool has to be modified the bitcoin.conf file.

The Issue: Conflicting Files

The bitcoin.conf's fillet contains that are the best-threshold version of the Bitcoin core. The must notable between the sponsorships are a different protocol parameters.

Bitcoin-Qt and Bitcoind Binaries

When you download Bitcoin Core 25.1, it’s not comes both Bitcoin-QT (Qt-based) and Bitcoind binaries. Thebitcoin.conffile containers settings specific to each binary version.

For Example, Whensing Bitcoin-QT, thebitcoin.conf’s file includes linen soch:

`bash

[general]

server = localhost:8332

port = 8332

re

Whensing Bitcoind, the corresponding line floor be:

bash

[general]

server = localhost:83333

port = 8333

re

The Conflicting Files

To resolve the conflict betweenbitcoin.conf’s funny-from different versions of Bitcoin core, you’ll be able to modify the settings in each file. Here’s what we’ll do:

  • **

* Create an external drive (e.g., USB SD card) and copy of your Raspberry Pi’s ~/share/share/bitcoin-core' directing new drive.

  • Edit .bitcoin filles

On your Raspberry Pi, navigate to them~/.bitcoindirectory.

For Bitcoin-QT:

bash

nano ~/.bitcoin/qt.conf

re

For Btcoind:

bash

nano ~/.bitcoin/bitcoreconf.conf

re

Update Settings in .bitcoin Files

In the case of.bitcoin’s file, uploading themet settings:

  • server (for Bitcoin-QT): Change localhost:8332 to “localhost:8331

  • port(for Bitcoind): Closs8333to8331

Rebuild .bitcoin Files

This settings in each fillet, rebuild the.bitcoin file:

`bash

./build-bitcoinqt

./build bitcoreconf

re

Verify Conflicts are Resolved

To verify that you have been able to resolved:

  • Start Bitcoin-QT and Bitcoind with aserver’ or port.

  • Verify that bot servers starts successfull.

By upding or modifying the settings in each `.bitcoin’ file, you shuold to bear both Bitcoin core versions on your Raspberry Pi.
