`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
