💖 ./SIAC-WALLET-INIT-SEED — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is the siac manual, page ./SIAC-WALLET-INIT-SEED(1), and it's about exactly one (1) thing: spinning up a brand new wallet off a seed you already have. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

./siac-wallet-init-seed — initialize and encrypt a new wallet using a pre-existing seed

like. that's the whole vibe. you bring the seed, it brings the encryption. iconic behavior honestly 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

./siac wallet init-seed

that's it. no arguments, no chaos. just type it and go 💅

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

okay so real talk: this command initializes and encrypts a new wallet using a pre-existing seed.

pre-existing seed, meaning you already have the seed and you're handing it over so siac can set you up fresh. it's giving "moving into a new apartment but you already own the furniture." main character energy 🔥

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • --force[=false] — destroy the existing wallet 💀
not me having to say this but: --force will literally destroy the existing wallet. that is not a metaphor. that is the actual documented behavior. if you have coins in there and you didn't back up your seed, that's a you problem and it will be a sad one 😭. default is false, so it will not do this unless you ask it to. please be normal about this flag.

🧚 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🧚

these aren't this command's own flags, they come down from the parent commands like a family heirloom ✨

  • -a, --addr="localhost:9980" — which host/port to communicate with (i.e. the host/port siad is listening on) 🌈

so if your siad isn't chilling on the default localhost:9980, this is how you tell siac where to find it. iykyk 💜

lowkey the most important thing on this whole page: back up your seed before you even think about --force. that's it. that's the PSA. 🔥
