CLI Wallet

CLI Wallet (Command Line Interface) is the official STEEM wallet.

The Steemit website itself has a wallet, but people with large funds prefer the CLI wallet as a more secure one. The CLI wallet provides more options than the steemit.com online wallet.

The CLI wallet connects to the WebSocket port of a steemd daemon. See Public Websocket Servers for a list of public servers.

cli_wallet -s wss://steemd.steemit.com
