`nodemon` should be in npm's global binary folder. If needed, you can determine where that is with `npm -g bin`.
### Regtest cheatsheets
### Useful Regtest Commands
* Useful link https://gist.github.com/System-Glitch/cb4e87bf1ae3fec9925725bb3ebe223a

* Run bitcoind for regtest
Run bitcoind on regtest:
```
bitcoind -regtest -rpcport=8332
```
* If it's the first time, create a new wallet
Create a new wallet, if needed:
```
bitcoin-cli -regtest -rpcport=8332 createwallet test
```
* If it's not the first time, load the wallet. This command may take a while if you have lot of utxos
Load wallet (this command may take a while if you have lot of UTXOs):
```
bitcoin-cli -regtest -rpcport=8332 loadwallet test
```
* Get a new address
Get a new address:
```
address=$(./src/bitcoin-cli -regtest -rpcport=8332 getnewaddress)
```
* Mine blocks to the previously generated new address, you need at least 101 blocks before being able to spend. This will take some time to execute (~1 min)
Mine blocks to the previously generated address. You need at least 101 blocks before you can spend. This will take some time to execute (~1 min):
```
bitcoin-cli -regtest -rpcport=8332 generatetoaddress 101 $address
```
* Send 0.1 BTC at 5 sat/vB to another address
Send 0.1 BTC at 5 sat/vB to another address:
```
./src/bitcoin-cli -named -regtest -rpcport=8332 sendtoaddress address=$(./src/bitcoin-cli -regtest -rpcport=8332 getnewaddress) amount=0.1 fee_rate=5
```
* See more example of `sendtoaddress`
See more example of `sendtoaddress`:
```
./src/bitcoin-cli sendtoaddress # will print the help
```
* Mini script to generate transactions with random TX fee-rate (between 1 to 100 sat/vB). It's slow so don't expect to use this to test mempool spam, except if you let it run for a long time, or maybe with multiple regtest node connected to each other.

* Generate block at regular interval (every 10 sec in this example)
Generate block at regular interval (every 10 seconds in this example):
```
watch -n 10 "./src/bitcoin-cli -regtest -rpcport=8332 generatetoaddress 1 $address"
```
