# monero-wallet-cli holds your keys, tracks balance, signs txns; connects to a monerod node.
# Practice on --stagenet (fake money) before mainnet. Always verify the download (GPG+hash) before running.

# Open an existing wallet (use the BASE name, NOT the .keys file)
monero-wallet-cli --stagenet --wallet-file <wallet_file>

# Open and connect straight to a remote node
monero-wallet-cli --wallet-file <wallet_file> --daemon-address <node>

# Restore a wallet from the 25-word seed
