This is pretty smart. CLI is just a little more than many can handle but of course there are many who are a little interested or more. I am one of those many but have been too swamped to do get there.

And this would be super helpful right now:

One thing that cli voting allows you to do that Steemit does not (yet) is to adjust the weight of your votes.

This is an eyeopener. If it can be done with the CLI, then why is there no way to do it through the browser? This is the first question which came to my mind. I know there are technical explanations to this, but it is nice to know you can adjust your weight. I speak for myself when I say I vote on anything I find good to be promoted, but if I had the power to change how much I wanted to give, that would be great! I do want to give bigger rewards to some posts while encouraging others with a small amount. Thanks for this revelation.

I am installing steemd on Ubuntu, running on VMWARE, OS X 10.11.6

I was over zealous and made 4 different wallets. Wanting to know how to delete the other three.

Also, would like to know how to enter the main cli_wallet. Thanks for any help.

You're welcome. If you are connecting to a remote node, it's likely it has timed you out. Reconnect and try the command again.

Hi pfunk. Do you need to configure port forwarding to use steemd and cli_wallet?
In steemd, I got up "done reindexing" but I never got the message you said we should get :
620878ms th_a application.cpp:439 handle_block...

pfunk (72) · 8 years ago

I don't believe any port forwarding is necessary. I have never needed to do it and UPnP is disabled.

Added you to my followed list. This is going to be invaluable moving forward, now that I'm pretty familiar with Steem's web UI.

I got as far as the words "command line", then got on the nope train.

Wish I had coding smarts. Maybe I'll learn some time. But right now it's gobblediegook to me.

Hey, I was like you.
I wished and wished and wished I could figure it out. I started a company, I did everything in tech.
And then one day, I just did it.

So, get off your nope train, trust me, if I can do it you can do it. it took me the better part of two years to master all the stuff I work with these days, but I'm way better off for it. I'm still not an incredible programmer, but TBH, using the shell isn't even programming, even though you have to use a text-mode interface. Programming is a whole different, deeper level of computing.

Here's my point though: You can do it, and you'll be better off for it
