#### Start from scratch

To purge any existing transactions you made and to recreate all wallets including the coinos wallet (coinosdev) do (assuming coinos-server is running): 

```bash
docker-compose down
sudo rm -rf config/bitcoin 
sudo rm -rf config/lightning
sudo rm -rf config/liquid
cp -rf sampleconfig/bitcoin config
cp -rf sampleconfig/lightning config
cp -rf sampleconfig/liquid config
docker-compose up
# app may crash during re-initalization of blockchains so
# restart it again after a few moments if necessary: 
docker-compose restart app 
```


#### Creating new (Bitcoin native) wallets

Note the wallet 'coinosdev' is created apart of the initial docker build for our Coinos Bitcoin server.  
To create a new wallet (ie- as an alternate or one for yourself) do: 

```bash
bitcoin-cli -regtest -datadir=/config -conf=./bitcoin.conf createwallet me
> # new wallet created in /config/regtest/wallets
```
and then specify `-rpcwallet=me` (or wallet name of your choice)
