{
    "json": true, (1)
    "api": {
        "nodes": [], (2)
        "network": "main" (3)
    },
    "pretty": true (4)
}
1 If false, this displays the output in table format.
2 These are the custom nodes which will connect to the Lisk Commander.
3 This is for the network in use,main for Mainnet,test for Testnet.
4 If true, this displays the output in a logical format. This has no effect if json:false.

Set config

This sets the configuration.

When api.nodes is empty, the Lisk Commander will connect to the official Lisk seed nodes depending on the network specified in api.network.

If api.nodes is set to one or more multiple nodes, the Lisk Commander will ignore api.network and will make all requests to the specified Lisk node.

When multiple nodes are specified, queries will always go to the first listed node. The following nodes serve as a fallback, if a query to the first node was unsuccessful.

Decrypt message

This decrypts a previously encrypted message from a given sender public key for a known nonce using your secret passphrase.

Important: As the secret passphrase is a sensitive input, it can be provided using one of the methods described in the Sensitive Inputs section. The encrypted message can be provided either directly as an argument, or by specifying a source with the –message option. If both the secret passphrase and the encrypted message are provided via stdin, the secret passphrase must be provided in the first line, and the encrypted message must be provided in the subsequent lines.

 
USAGE
  $ lisk message:decrypt SENDERPUBLICKEY NONCE [MESSAGE]

ARGUMENTS
  SENDERPUBLICKEY  Public key of the sender of the message.
  NONCE            Nonce used during encryption.
  MESSAGE          Encrypted message.

OPTIONS
  -j, --[no-]json
      Prints output in JSON format. You can change the default behavior in your config.json file.

  -m, --message=message
      Specifies a source for providing a message to the command. If a string is provided directly as an
      argument, this option will be ignored. The message must be provided via an argument or via this
      option. Sources must be one of `file` or `stdin`. In the case of `file`, a corresponding identifier
      must also be provided.
      	Note: if both secret passphrase and message are passed via stdin, the passphrase must be the first
      line.
      	Examples:
      	- --message=file:/path/to/my/message.txt
      	- --message="hello world"

  -p, --passphrase=passphrase
      Specifies a source for your secret passphrase. Lisk Commander will prompt you for input if this
      option is not set.
      	Examples:
      	- --passphrase='my secret passphrase' (should only be used where security is not important)

  --[no-]pretty
      Prints JSON in pretty format rather than condensed. Has no effect if the output is set to table.

Example JSON output

{
    "message": "My very secret message"
}

Encrypt message

This encrypts a message for a given recipient public key using your secret passphrase.

This command uses the Lisk Elements passphrase module to encrypt a message you provide for a given public key using a randomly generated nonce. In order to decrypt the encrypted message later the recipient will need your public key (to verify that the message came from you), including the nonce and the secret passphrase which matches the specified public key.

Important: As the secret passphrase is a sensitive input, it can be provided using one of the methods described in the Sensitive Inputs section. The encrypted message can be provided either directly as an argument, or by specifying a source with the –message option. If both the secret passphrase and the encrypted message are provided via stdin, the secret passphrase must be provided in the first line, and the encrypted message must be provided in the subsequent lines.

 
USAGE
  $ lisk message:encrypt RECIPIENTPUBLICKEY [MESSAGE]

ARGUMENTS
  RECIPIENTPUBLICKEY  Public key of the recipient of the message.
  MESSAGE             Message to encrypt.

  -j, --[no-]json
      Prints output in JSON format. You can change the default behavior in your config.json file.

  -m, --message=message
      Specifies a source for providing a message to the command. If a string is provided directly as an argument, this option will be ignored. The message must be provided via an argument
      or via this option. Sources must be one of `file` or `stdin`. In the case of `file`, a corresponding identifier must also be provided.
      	Note: if both secret passphrase and message are passed via stdin, the passphrase must be the first line.
      	Examples:
      	- --message=file:/path/to/my/message.txt
      	- --message="hello world"

  -p, --passphrase=passphrase
      Specifies a source for your secret passphrase. Lisk Commander will prompt you for input if this option is not set.
      	Examples:
      	- --passphrase='my secret passphrase' (should only be used where security is not important)

  --[no-]pretty
      Prints JSON in pretty format rather than condensed. It has no effect if the output is set to table. You can change the default behavior in your config.json file.

DESCRIPTION
  Encrypts a message for a given recipient public key using your secret passphrase.

                                         	- --votes=publickey1,publickey2

DESCRIPTION
  Creates a transaction which will cast votes for delegate candidates using their addresses if
  broadcast to the network.

EXAMPLE
  transaction:create:vote 1 100 --votes="356975984361330918L,1000000000" --votes="7539210577161571444L,3000000000" --votes="456975984361330919L,-1000000000"

Multisignature account registration

This creates a transaction which will register the account as a multisignature account if broadcast to the network, using the following arguments shown below:

USAGE
  $ lisk transaction:create:multisignature NONCE FEE

ARGUMENTS
  NONCE  Nonce of the transaction.
  FEE    Transaction fee in LSK.

OPTIONS
  -j, --[no-]json
      Prints output in JSON format. You can change the default behavior in your config.json file.

  -p, --passphrase=passphrase
      Specifies a source for your secret passphrase. Lisk Commander will prompt you for input if this
      option is not set.
      	Examples:
      	- --passphrase='my secret passphrase' (should only be used where security is not important)

  --mandatory-key=mandatory-key
      Mandatory public key for multisignature account.

  --member-passphrase=member-passphrase
      Passphrase for all mandatory and optional keys. Its a less secure way to sign transaction. See
      command description for details.

  --networkIdentifier=networkIdentifier
      Network identifier defined for the network or main | test for the Lisk Network.

  --number-of-signatures=number-of-signatures
      Number of signatures required to validate transactions from that account

  --optional-key=optional-key
      Optional public key for multisignature account.

  --[no-]pretty
      Prints JSON in pretty format rather than condensed. Has no effect if the output is set to table.
      You can change the default behavior in your config.json file.

DESCRIPTION
  Creates a transaction which will register the account as a multisignature account if broadcast to the
  network, using the following arguments:

  		1. Mandatory keys to verify signatures for the multisignature account. Signatures for these keys must
  exists to verify every transaction from that account.
  		2. Optional keys to verify signatures for the multisignature account. Signatures for these keys may
  or may not exists to verify transaction from that account.
  		3. Number of signatures required for a transaction from the account to be valid. These value must be
  minimum of count of mandatory keys.
  		4. Member passphrases for every mandatory and optional key provided.

  	Use of '--member-passphrase' flag is not encourage for better security practices. This will expose
  the passphrase to command line and may end up logging into system logs. Use 'transaction:sign'
  command to sign with member passphrases.

EXAMPLE
  transaction:create:multisignature 1 100 --mandatory-key="xxx" --mandatory-key="yyy" --optional-key="yyy" --optional-key="yyy" --number-of-signatures=4 --passphrase="****" --member-passphrase="****" --member-passphrase="****"

Sign transaction

How to sign a transaction using your secret passphrase.

Important: As the secret passphrase is a sensitive input, it can be provided using one of the methods described in the Sensitive Inputs section. The encrypted message can be provided either directly as an argument, or by specifying a source with the –message option. If both the secret passphrase and the encrypted message are provided via stdin, the secret passphrase must be provided in the first line, and the encrypted message must be provided in the subsequent lines.
