A Grin wallet maintains its state in the following files -
wallet.seed # *** passphrase protected seed file (keep this private) ***
wallet.dat # wallet outputs (both spent and unspent)
wallet.lock # lock file, prevents multiple processes writing to wallet.dat
By default Grin will look for these in the current working directory.
grin wallet --help
will display usage info about the following.
Before using a wallet a new seed file wallet.seed
needs to be generated via grin wallet init
-
grin wallet init
Generating wallet seed file at: ./wallet.seed
Some (very) basic information about current wallet outputs can be displayed with grin wallet info
-
grin wallet -p "password" info
Using wallet seed file at: ./wallet.seed
Outputs -
key_id, height, lock_height, status, spendable?, coinbase?, value

Starts a listening wallet server. This is needed for the grin wallet send -d <destination wallet server>
command to work.
Builds a transaction to send someone some coins. Creates and outputs a transaction.
- add -d to request a destination wallet from the given server address and port, and then push the transaction to the network
- add -s to choose between selection strategies. If you're experimenting, or the destination is not reliable, it is currently recommendable to use the strategy
smallest
Replaced by listen
(see above). The receive
command might later be recycled to actively accept one or several specific transactions.

TESTING ONLY: Burns the provided amount to a known key. Similar to send but burns an output to allow single-party transactions.
