chia init
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 so, 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).
Use tmux (Optional)
Using tmux will help ensure chia runs even after a disconnect:
sudo apt install tmux -y # Start tmux. tmux new -s plot # Activate virtual environment.
