Previously bitrpc was returning generic errors. I threw in a raise which provides useful info. @laanwj mentioned it wouldn't be a good idea to raise after catching the exception. And so I changed it. Apologies for opening a new PR instead of updating the existing one.
print the caught error instead of raising an error #5360

Slightly tested ACK.
BTW unrelated to this pull, this script is a pain to set up and is a mess.
- Doesn't support testnet by default
- Doesn't read bitcoin.conf files - needs user/pass to be provided in text of program itself encouraging accidental committing
- There's lot of repitition.
- Should use AuthServiceProxy that is included in the tree instead of having a dependency on a 'jsonrpc' module
Anyone volunteering to give this a overhaul? Or would it be better to just remove it? Main argument I've heard for including this is that entering the
walletpassphraseon the command line is safer than passing it as argument to bitcoin-cli, but this is not exactly convenient to use. - laanwj merged this on Mar 18, 2015
