[shell]

./siac —addr 192.168.8.120:9980 host folder add /mnt/sia/host-storage 900GB [/shell]

siac wallet -h

checking the status of sia host (Below output this blockchain was being synched) [shell] AC-MBP-2:Sia-v1.3.1-darwin-amd64 test$ ./siac —addr 192.168.8.120:9980 Synced: No Height: 111530 Progress (estimated): 77.5% [/shell]

[shell] ./siac wallet -h —addr 192.168.8.120:9980 Generate a new address, send coins to another wallet, or view info about the wallet.

Usage: ./siac wallet [flags] ./siac wallet [command] [/shell]

Initialize the wallet at the sia host [shell] Aloks-MBP-2:Sia-v1.3.1-darwin-amd64 alokchoudhary$ ./siac wallet init —addr 192.168.8.120:9980 Recovery seed: Sia test test test test test test test test possible island test test fierce test hectare test test test test woken test test odds test violin test test test
