termcoin

A bitcoin wallet for your terminal.

termcoin is written in node.js, using blessed, and uses bitcoind (and optionally other cryptocurrency rpc servers) as its backend.

Usage

$ termcoin

termcoin by default tries to connect to the bitcoin rpc server in ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf, but it can also be specified directly:

$ termcoin http://bitcoinrpc:foobar@localhost:8332/

To use for other cryptocurrencies:

$ termcoin -c litecoin

Advantages

Runs in a terminal. Possible to use over ssh. Easier than using bitcoind directly.
Uses bitcoind as a backend, which means it is also possible to use with litecoin/namecoin/dogecoin/etc.

Shortcomings

The bitcoin rpc server is limited in what it could do. Ideally I wanted this to have all the capabilities of a full wallet, but that would require, for example, linking to to berkeley db to parse the wallet.dat. I wanted to write this entirely in node.
