Title: Cannot understand the docs of electrum well enough to get started. Please help
Post by: deveshaggrawal19 on July 15, 2017, 04:32:38 PM
I have been trying to understand the working of electrum but all in vain. I cannot start a wallet object in different python console. I am also not able to call wallet object functions over json rpc. Please help. I am in desperate need to get the project complete

In electrum console, I can run wallet commands without any problem, but it's in GUI, how can I create a wallet object or say get an existing wallet object in a different python console.

Well i'm not sure.

Honestly, I don't really think its intended to be used like that.  It's not an SDK.

By the way great read on the short comings of Lightning Network. I was able to do what I was aiming. Thanks
