Grin Wallet Tutorial

This tutorial will teach you how to create command line wallet with grin-wallet and gui wallet with grim.

Command line grin wallet

  1. Download the wallet: https://github.com/mimblewimble/grin-wallet/releases.

  2. Create new wallet: ./grin-wallet init -h. Ignore the errors and set the password, the command will create the wallet in the current directory. image

Note

If you need to recreate your wallet from an existing seed, use ./grin-wallet init -hr command.

  1. Find grin-wallet.toml file in the current directory and edit it as follows: image As you can see, we commented node_api_secret_path and added https://grincoin.org public node. You can also use https://grinnode.live:3413 node.

  2. Run ./grin-wallet info command and wait for the wallet scanning completion, this could take several minutes. image

That's it. The wallet is fully set and ready to make your first transaction.

  1. Receive.
  • Run ./grin-wallet receive and paste Satepack message that you should get from sender: image The command will return a Slatepack which you should provide to the sender.
  1. Send.
  • Run ./grin-wallet send 1 (sending 1 coin), copy the returned Slatepack message and provide it to receiver.
  • Get Slatepack message from the receiver, run ./grin-wallet finalize command and copy-paste the Slatepack into it.
