`silentdragonlite-cli` is a command line SilentDragonLite light client. To use it, download the latest binary from the releases page and run `./silentdragonlite-cli` This will launch the interactive prompt. Type `help` to get a list of commands ## Running in non-interactive mode: You can also run `silentdragonlite-cli` in non-interactive mode by passing the command you want to run as an argument. For example, `silentdragonlite-cli addresses` will list all wallet addresses and exit. Run `silentdragonlite-cli help` to see a list of all commands. ## Privacy * While all the keys and transaction detection happens on the client, the server can learn what blocks contain your shielded transactions. * The server also learns other metadata about you like your ip address etc... * Also remember that t-addresses don't provide any privacy protection. ## Notes: * If you want to run your own server, please see [SilentDragonLite-cli lightwalletd](https://git.hush.is/hush/lightwalletd), and then run `./silentdragonlite-cli --server http://127.0.0.1:9069`. You might also need to pass `--dangerous` if you are using a self-signed TLS certificate. * The log file is in `~/.silentdragonlite/silentdragonlite-cli.debug.log`. Wallet is stored in `~/.silentdragonlite/silentdragonlite-cli.dat` ### Note Management silentdragonlite does automatic note and utxo management, which means it doesn't allow you to manually select which address to send outgoing transactions from. It follows these principles: * Defaults to sending shielded transactions, even if you're sending to a transparent address * Sapling funds need at least 2 confirmations before they can be spent * Can select funds from multiple shielded addresses in the same transaction * Will automatically shield your transparent funds at the first opportunity * When sending an outgoing transaction to a shielded address, silentdragonlite can decide to use the transaction to additionally shield your transparent funds (i.e., send your transparent funds to your own shielded address in the same transaction) ## Compiling from source #### Pre-requisites * Rust v1.37 or higher. * Run `rustup update` to get the latest version of Rust if you already have it installed ```shell script git clone https://git.hush.is/hush/silentdragonlite-cli cd silentdragonlite-cli cargo build --release ./target/release/silentdragonlite-cli ``` ## Options Here are some CLI arguments you can pass to `silentdragonlite-cli`. Please run `silentdragonlite-cli --help` for the full list. * `--server`: Connect to a custom SilentDragonLite lightwalletd server. * Example: `./silentdragonlite-cli --server 127.0.0.1:9069` * Example: `./silentdragonlite-cli --server lite.hush.is` * `--seed`: Restore a wallet from a seed phrase. Note that this will fail if there is an existing wallet. Delete (or move) any existing wallet to restore from the 24-word seed phrase * Example: `./silentdragonlite-cli --seed "twenty four words seed phrase"` * `--recover`: Attempt to recover the seed phrase from a corrupted wallet * `-n, --nosync`: By default, Silentdragonlite-cli will sync the wallet at startup, so use this option to prevent the automatic sync at startup ### Support For support or other questions, join us on [Telegram](https://hush.is/telegram), or tweet at [@MyHushTeam](https://twitter.com/MyHushTeam), or toot at our [Mastodon](https://fosstodon.org/@myhushteam) or join [Telegram Support](https://hush.is/telegram_support) or [file an issue](https://git.hush.is/hush/silentdragonlite-cli/issues). ## License GPLv3 or later
