Generating a new wallet

Pull the internet cord of your computer (or disable wifi) and run the following command:

Checking the balance of an existing wallet

To check the balance on your wallet, run:

$ ripple-wallet-cli balance

You'll be asked for the public address to check, or you can provide it directly on the command line:

$ ripple-wallet-cli balance rJysCK99GqUBmgB54mcV7NwxYH29NRs1QQ

The output will also show the last 10 transactions. To see more transactions, you can up the limit:

$ ripple-wallet-cli balance rJysCK99GqUBmgB54mcV7NwxYH29NRs1QQ --limit [number]

Making a payment from your existing wallet to another

To make a payment from a wallet you control to another address, run:

$ ripple-wallet-cli pay

You'll be asked for the XRP amount to send, the destination address, the destination tag (optional), the sender address and finally the sender secret.

Alternatively, you can provide these params on the command line:

$ ripple-wallet-cli pay --amount [amount] --to [destination address] --tag [destination tag]
