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 1.16 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:
```bash
$ go version
```
- Run the following commands to obtain and install kaspad including all dependencies:
```bash
$ 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`
