🍪How to Find .cookie file

Sometimes we gotta find the cookie! Ord client depends on the cookie file to successfully talk with Bitcoin Core.

First, make sure your Bitcoin Core is running. The cookie file will not populate unless Bitcoin Core is open and running.

Here is how to easily find where the cookie file is located:

Open Bitcoin Core -> Window -> Information

The Datadir folder path should lead you to the cookie file:

There it is! You can Right Click -> Copy as path.

Now you can use that path to perform commands on ord client.

Example:

./ord --cookie-file <PASTE-COOKIE-PATH> server
