Common operations

Listing my Ion addresses

Listing the Ion addresses in your wallet is easily done via listreceivedbyaddress. It normally lists only addresses which already have received transactions, however you can list all the addresses by setting the first argument to 0, and the second one to true.

Accounts are used to organize addresses.
