NAMECOIN-WALLET(1)

📦 version 28.0, in nixos 26.05

💖 NAME 💖

namecoin-wallet — the manual page for namecoin-wallet v28.0.0, bestie. That's it, that's the name, we move.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so first things first: this is Namecoin Core namecoin-wallet version v28.0.0, and yes she's serving main character energy from the very first line.

namecoin-wallet is an offline tool for creating and interacting with Namecoin Core wallet files. Lowkey iconic. By default, namecoin-wallet will act on wallets in the default mainnet wallet directory in the datadir — that's the "no thoughts, head empty" default behaviour. To change the target wallet, use the -datadir, -wallet and -regtest/-signet/-testnet/-testnet4 arguments. Periodt.

🌸 Usage:

namecoin-wallet [options] <command>

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

Bestie, there are a LOT of these, so buckle up. We're going through all of them, no skipping, no cap. 💅

  • -? — Prints this help message and then exits. The original "hey bestie here's what's up" move.
  • -datadir=<dir> — Specify the data directory. Like, where the stuff lives.
  • -descriptors — Create a descriptors wallet. Only for create. Descriptors-only energy ✨
  • -dumpfile=<file name> — When used with dump, writes out the records to this file. When used with createfromdump, loads the records into a new wallet. It's giving "same flag, two moods".
  • -format=<format> — The format of the wallet file to create. Either "bdb" or "sqlite". Only used with createfromdump. Choose your fighter 🫶
  • -legacy — Create a legacy wallet. Only for create. She's vintage, she's retro, she's legacy.
  • -version — Print version and exit. The quick vibe check.
  • -wallet=<wallet-name> — Specify wallet name. Literally just the name of the wallet.

🔍 Debugging/Testing options:

  • -debug=<category> — Output debugging information (default: 0). Because sometimes you do want the tea.
  • -printtoconsole — Send trace/debug info to console (default: 1 when no -debug is true, 0 otherwise). Note the conditional default, bestie — don't come for me, that's literally what it says.
  • -withinternalbdb — Use the internal Berkeley DB parser when dumping a Berkeley DB wallet file (default: false). Internal parser era.

⛓️ Chain selection options:

  • -chain=<chain> — Use the chain <chain> (default: main). Allowed values: main, test, testnet4, signet, regtest. Pick your universe 🌈
  • -signet — Use the signet chain. Equivalent to -chain=signet. Note that the network is defined by the -signetchallenge parameter. Important little caveat, don't ignore her.
  • -signetchallenge — Blocks must satisfy the given script to be considered valid (only for signet networks; defaults to the global default signet test network challenge).
  • -signetseednode — Specify a seed node for the signet network, in the hostname[:port] format, e.g. sig.net:1234 (may be used multiple times to specify multiple seed nodes; defaults to the global default signet test network seed node(s)). Yes, multiple times. She stacks. 🦋
  • -testnet — Use the testnet3 chain. Equivalent to -chain=test. Support for testnet3 is deprecated and will be removed in an upcoming release. Consider moving to testnet4 now by using -testnet4. So like, no pressure, but there IS pressure 😭 — she's deprecated, bestie.
  • -testnet4 — Use the testnet4 chain. Equivalent to -chain=testnet4. The new it-girl.
Deprecated flag alert: -testnet (testnet3) is on her way out. The manpage literally says it will be removed in an upcoming release, and suggests moving to -testnet4 now. Don't say I didn't warn you 💀

👑 Commands:

  • create — Create new wallet file. Baby wallet time 🎀
  • createfromdump — Create new wallet file from dumped records. Glow-up-from-a-backup energy.
  • dump — Print out all of the wallet key-value records. Spill the tea, wallet edition.
  • info — Get wallet info. Just a little gossip session with your wallet.
  • salvage — Attempt to recover private keys from a corrupt wallet. Warning: salvage is experimental. So like, she's brave and she's trying her best, but she's experimental — keep that in mind fr fr.
