    Is the first argument you are passing to the RPC the dummy value, i.e. a string of "*"?

    I didn't pass any argument to the RPC when starting bitcoin server.

    You can't pass them when starting, but only at runtime.

    What RPC wrapper are you using?

    Note that accounts are going away in 0.18 (they're already gone in git master), so you should really be working to migrate away from them...

    Are you passing --deprecatedrpc=accounts to bitcoind when starting? You do need to do that when starting if you want to use accounts for now.

    If I remove —deprecatedrpc=accounts, the error still showing.

    Could you please show us exactly what your RPC call is?

    Closing this because there's no way to tell if there is something wrong without more information, please reopen if this is a legitimate bug

    RPC Error: error -8: label argument must be a valid label name or "*".
