CLI Wallet

CLI wallet

Verified against: Pinned source and release revisions, Qwertycoin mainnet where applicable, 2026-09-29.

Verified binary: qwertycoin-wallet-cli from Core v2.0.2.

Start against a local daemon:

./qwertycoin-wallet-cli --daemon-address http://127.0.0.1:8197

On first run, choose a new wallet name, strong password, and language. Record the generated mnemonic seed offline. To reopen:

./qwertycoin-wallet-cli \
  --wallet-file /secure/wallets/qwc-main \
  --daemon-address http://127.0.0.1:8197

Common interactive commands include address, balance, refresh, transfer, show_transfers, seed, save, and exit; confirm exact commands with help in the installed version.

Restore

Use the interactive restore flow or supported startup options shown by:

./qwertycoin-wallet-cli --help | less

Choose a restore height at or before the wallet's first transaction. Too-high restore height can omit history; height 0 is conservative but slower.

Sending safely

1. Confirm daemon and wallet are synchronized.
2. Verify the destination and amount in QWC.
3. Review the wallet's fee/transaction confirmation.
4. Record the transaction ID.
5. If a command times out, inspect wallet history and daemon state before retrying; do not assume it was not relayed.

The historical executable simplewallet is not current Qwertycoin software.
