Node and wallet

Tools

There are also some additional tools:

Using wallet without a node

It is also possible to use the wallet without the client. For this purpose there is a tool called balio. It can fetch the balance of your wallet from popular block explorers and save it in the format recognized by gocoin's wallet. You can find it in the tools/ folder. Execute "go build balio.go" to compile it, or run it without compiling with: go run balio.go <your_bitcoin_addresses>

Note: This tool does not support fetching balances of stealth addresses. You need the client node to fetch a balance of a stealth addresses.

User interface

All the applications are console only (no GUI window), though the client node has a fairly functional and quite convenient web interface (to be controlled via a web browser).
