WALLET

IMPORTANT:

This software is for TESTING ONLY. Do NOT use it for handling real money.

wallet is a simple, no-frills wallet software operated via the command line.
It is capable of generating wallet key-pairs, printing a wallet's current balance, and sending simple transactions.

Requirements

Go 1.14 or later.

Installation

Build from Source

  • Install Go according to the installation instructions here: http://golang.org/doc/install

  • Ensure Go was installed properly and is a supported version:

$ go version
  • Run the following commands to obtain and install kaspad including all dependencies:
$ git clone https://github.com/kaspanet/kaspad
$ cd kaspad/cmd/wallet
$ go install .
  • Wallet should now be installed in $(go env GOPATH)/bin. If you did not already add the bin directory to your system path during Go installation, you are encouraged to do so now.

Usage

  • Create a new wallet key-pair: wallet create --testnet
  • Print a wallet's current balance: wallet balance --testnet --address=kaspatest:000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
  • Send funds to another wallet: wallet send --testnet --private-key=0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 --send-amount=50 --to-address=kaspatest:000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
