FEATHER(1)

💖 FEATHER 💖

okay so bestie, you're looking at the manual for feather — and yes, that's <pink>Feather Wallet</pink> for the girlies who read the header. It's a light-weight Monero GUI desktop wallet and it's literally so cute. Sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

feather [options]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. just feather and whatever options you wanna sprinkle on top 🎀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So Feather is a Monero desktop wallet written in C++ with the Qt framework. 🦋

Now here's the thing that makes her different from a typical Monero wallet: Feather does not need a copy of the entire Monero blockchain installed locally. Like, not even a little. That whole local-copy thing requires a lot of space babe. Instead, Feather connects to an on-line node of servers and queries their copy of the blockchain. 💅 Which means she's small and fast. iconic behavior honestly.

Feather is beginner friendly (yes you, yes you can do this 🫶) but she also caters to advanced Monero users by providing a feature set that is on par with the official CLI. She ships with sane defaults that suit most users, but she can also be configured for high or uncommon threat models. main character energy for real.

Now, a little lore drop: Monero (XMR) is an open-source cryptocurrency that focuses on privacy and decentralization. It aims to improve on existing cryptocurrency design by obscuring sender, recipient and amount of every transaction. yes. obscuring. every single one. 🔥

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -h, --help — Displays a list of the command line options. your little cheat sheet bestie ✨
• --help-all — Displays all the help entries, including generic Qt options. the deluxe version, the full menu, no secrets kept 💜
• -v, --version — Displays version information. in case you need to know what era of Feather you're in 🕰️
• --use-local-tor — Uses the system wide installation of Tor instead of the version bundled with the feather binary. ⚠️ Heads up: this is the default (and only) behavior in the Debian package, as Tor is not compiled into the feather binary, but is enabled by installing the recommended tor package. so like, on Debian this isn't even a choice, it's just the law 🧚
• --quiet — Limits console output. shhh. 🤫 she's being demure. she's being mindful.
• --stagenet — Use Stagenet, which is for development purposes only. > not for your real coins bestie, this is the practice arena 💀
• --testnet — Uses Testnet, which is for development purposes only. > same warning, same energy, still not for real money 🙈
