selectaccount Command Guide

The selectaccount command allows you to switch between different accounts within your Mintlayer wallet. By selecting an account, you set it as the active account for subsequent transactions and operations.

Understanding Accounts

In Mintlayer, a single wallet can have multiple accounts. Each account is derived from the same seed phrase but follows a different derivation path. This structure provides flexibility, allowing users to organize their funds, maintain privacy, or manage different transaction purposes under a single seed phrase.

Usage

To select and set an account as active, use the following command:

selectaccount <ACCOUNT_INDEX>

Arguments

• <ACCOUNT_INDEX>: The index number of the account you want to select. This index corresponds to the order in which accounts were created within the wallet.

Important Notes

• Ensure you select the correct account index, especially if you have multiple accounts with varying balances or transaction purposes.
• Once an account is selected, all subsequent operations will be performed from this account until another account is selected or the wallet session is closed.

Options

• -h, --help: Displays the help message for the selectaccount command.
