+**WARNING:**  Do not share your private keys and passphrase with anyone else.
+  * **init** checks for old versions of chia installed in the ~/.chia directory.
+  * If an old version of Chia exists, init migrates these old files to the new version:
+    * config (including old SSL files)
+    * db
+    * wallet
+    * Using config.yaml, updates wallet keys and ensures rewards go to the right wallet.
+  * If no old version exists, init:
+    * Creates a default chia configuration.
+    * Initializes a new SSL key and cert (for secure communication with the GUI).
