Post by: cocos on August 15, 2015, 06:04:35 PM
Is there any command line altcoin without GUI?

Pretty much all coins have a CLI. The only coins I'm aware of that ONLY have an official CLI (no GUI) are Ethereum and Monero.

The GUI is basically just a mask on a CLI. Daemons are the program without the Qt or Java frontend, it's called headless

its possible to create command line version of almost all altcoins, called daemon, just do a quick search and you will find how to compile a command line version of any altcoin for your choice of Operating System.

You can also just use the Qt and go to debug window if you just wanna use the commands and don't care about display

If you are looking for a command line only altcoin then take a look at Ethereum :D

Yeah, But who knows maybe really  some  smart dev  switch from win 10 to old MSDOS for example too.  This would save a lot of RAM  C:/>   ;D

wait wait wait..

let me .... drink this in.... for all its worth.....

Monero.... doesn't have a GUI... gets constantly ... trolled... for this.

Ethereum comes out... has an ICO / premine / something-or-other, jumps up to  a 96 million USD market cap.. and its CLI only?

thats just.... Beautiful. I want to give everyone high fives here.

Sorry for the derail. I just couldn't resist. Maybe in all of these newly cropping Eth = scam pages someone has mentioned this. Do i wanna wade through that stuff?
