This guide explains Bitcoin Core getreceivedbylabel RPC in plain English. It shows what the command does, what its result means and what it cannot prove.
TL;DR
- What it is: Bitcoin Core 0.18.0 getreceivedbylabel summed BTC received by all wallet addresses carrying one label, filtered by a minimum confirmation count that defaulted to one. The empty string selected the default label and zero included unconfirmed receipts.
- Why it matters: getreceivedbylabel is a convenient cumulative receipt total. It becomes safe business evidence only when wallet identity, label history, confirmation policy and transaction-level reconciliation remain explicit.
- Current position: Require a second reviewer and explicit rollback or expiry, and pause payments, signing or network-dependent services until post-change evidence is complete.
Bitcoin Core getreceivedbylabel RPC in simple English
Bitcoin Core getreceivedbylabel RPC: The BTC result totals qualifying receipts to labelled addresses. Spending later does not reduce it and a transaction touching several addresses must not be interpreted as a balance movement.
Simple example
A miner is checking Bitcoin Core getreceivedbylabel RPC. Record the threshold and tip, and rerun after reorganisations. Reconcile to transaction and address detail before posting revenue or releasing goods.
Key terms in plain English
- Bitcoin Core:
- Widely used software that validates Bitcoin and can provide wallet, network and operator tools.
- RPC:
- A command that software sends to a node to request information or a local action.
- Mempool:
- A node’s changing local collection of valid, unconfirmed transactions.
- Node:
- A computer running Bitcoin software that checks data and communicates with other peers.
Wallet routing
Bind the exact network and wallet endpoint. The same label text in another wallet is unrelated, while a wrong wallet can return a plausible zero.
Label identity
Treat labels as mutable local annotations, not immutable account IDs. Preserve an external customer or invoice mapping and audit relabel operations.
Cumulative meaning
The BTC result totals qualifying receipts to labelled addresses. Spending later does not reduce it and a transaction touching several addresses must not be interpreted as a balance movement.
Confirmations
minconf defaults to one; zero includes mempool receipts. Record the threshold and tip, and rerun after reorganisations. A confirmation count is policy evidence, not irreversible settlement.
Default label
An empty string deliberately selects the default label. Distinguish it from missing input, whitespace and application null values.
Units and reconciliation
Convert BTC decimal to integer satoshis without floating point. Reconcile to transaction and address detail before posting revenue or releasing goods.
How specialists test it
Operators test the command on a non-production node first. They check a normal reply, an invalid request, a timeout and a restart. This shows what the response means and prevents one local result from being mistaken for a network-wide outcome.
