monero-cli: non-interactive wallet generation about monero HOT 8 OPEN

Is there a reason you don't use monero-wallet-rpc? It seems better suited for what you want to do, the CLI was never built for this. Though maybe I'm missing something.

from monero.

This is possible with monero-wallet-rpc combined with a scripting language e.g. shell/python. We also have monero-javascript which is being used in this gift wallet generator https://xmr.gift/generator.

Redeeming these gift cards can be done instantly with the combination of scan_txid + the wallets seed. This area of UX is being worked on / has some proof of concepts already. I can share links later.

@0xFFFC0000 I'd Propose marking this as feature -request.

If I can be of any assistance in making #9152 happen, please let me know.

i dont recall you mentioning the gift wallet generator i linked (which can be used offline) https://github.com/xmrdotgift/generator , but more over, the monero-wallet-rpc can do all of the things you require in probably less time that it has taken to draft up this issue / comment

@selsta sadly not as it doesn't do offline bulk generation of wallets.

The use-case is that of a basically airgapped wallet generator where one then takes the generated wallet and then uses the generated QR code for the primary address to top it up, and then gets a confirmation on a second loading terminal with the tx_id and restore height of the block -1 containing said transaction.

Basically turning it into one of those prepaid cards that have no balance until loaded after paying at the cashier...

Also being able to just generate wallets automatically and airgapped would allow preproducing said wallets in a physical card form - We've seen this with Bitcoin being done and that really boosted adoption.

@plowsof as I mentioned I am aware of these solutions but sadly they don't fit the use case of a "Monero Wallet Generator" in that they don't simply spit out said parameters in a way that lends itself for automation.

Firing up a headless Firefox with Selenium seems very bloated espechally when the desired parameters are already spit out in the cli-wallet.

It's just inconvenient at scale to not have a --non-interactive flag that allows to automate the wallet generation process similar to how i.e. enc offers to just generate a key without user interaction.

MIT btw

is there anything you need that ISNT already implemented?
this even writes the seed to an nfc card in encrypted form
