[Tutorial] How to use cli_wallet without downloading complete blockchain on Windows x64

Hi guys, I'm not really good in english so I'll go straight away to technical stuff on how to running cli_wallet on Windows OS without downloading whole STEEM blockchain.

What we need:


Downloading Components

  • Download MS Visual C++ runtime and install it
  • Download STEEM binary and extract it to any folder you choose
  • Download CA Cert and put it into same folder as your cli_wallet.exe

steem folder

Starting cli_wallet

  • Navigate to steem folder, press shift + right click then select Open command windows here
  • On windows terminal type:

cli_wallet -a cacert.pem -s wss://steemit.com/wspa enter

cmd

new >>> type set_password mystr0ngp455!@ enter

locked >>> type unlock mystr0ngp455!@ enter

cmd2

  • With wallet unlocked, now you can import your active, posting and memo private key with import_key 5xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
  • Press ctrl + c to exit.

DONE, that's it.... you now have working cli_wallet to make a post, vote or transfer your STEEM/SBD to friends or exchange :)

Feel free to comment if you have any questions ;)
