[Tutorial] How to use cli_wallet without downloading complete blockchain on Windows x64
Hi guys, I'm not really good in english so I'll go straight away to technical stuff on **how to running cli_wallet on Windows OS without downloading whole STEEM blockchain**.

#### What we need:

* Software

  |Component | Download Links |
  |-----------|-------|
  | -Visual C++ 2013 Runtime | https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784 |
  |-Steem windows binary compiled by @Bitcube | https://github.com/btscube/steem/releases |
  | Mozilla CA certificate store | https://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem|

* Steem webscoket secure server url:  `wss://steemit.com/wspa`
  alternatif url: `wss://node.steem.ws` 

---
#### Downloading Components
 - Download MS Visual C++ runtime and install it
 - Download STEEM binary and extract it to any folder you choose
 - Download CA Cert and put it into same folder as your `cli_wallet.exe`

  ![steem folder](https://ipfs.pics/ipfs/QmX5yTJaV3KnFdgoreGmC67S7P84k2Uvfqv24RmfUhyuGt)
  
#### Starting cli_wallet

- Navigate to steem folder, press `shift + right click` then select `Open command windows here`
 - On windows terminal type:

  `cli_wallet -a cacert.pem -s wss://steemit.com/wspa` ![enter](https://cdn2.iconfinder.com/data/icons/crystalproject/16x16/actions/key_enter.png)

  ![cmd](https://ipfs.pics/ipfs/QmcwexhN4ZrF57jNVZbbSGQmnNDaz41UVK64eD8FJrvctR)

  `new >>>` type `set_password mystr0ngp455!@` ![enter](https://cdn2.iconfinder.com/data/icons/crystalproject/16x16/actions/key_enter.png)

  `locked >>>` type `unlock mystr0ngp455!@` ![enter](https://cdn2.iconfinder.com/data/icons/crystalproject/16x16/actions/key_enter.png)
  
  ![cmd2](https://ipfs.pics/ipfs/QmXLobPigfA6WzYdqGktDkbnAAywPvCCv2BXqruXDoikkd)

- With wallet unlocked, now you can import your *active, posting* and *memo* private key with `import_key 5xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx`
- Press ` ctrl + c ` to exit.

DONE, that's it.... you now have working cli_wallet to make a post, vote or transfer your STEEM/SBD to friends or exchange  :)

Feel free to comment if you have any questions ;)

If we send transactions over this, are we not also sending our private keys in some cases?  What about the wallet password?  Is that all kept locally?

No, only pubkey transmitted with any transaction, privkey and password stay in you local wallet.

Hi @utfull

This guide was obsolete, there is now cli_wallet for windows anymore since HF12 (or HF14, can't remember). New Public websocket server also has ben changed, you can find new one [here](https://www.steem.center/index.php?title=Public_Websocket_Servers).

You may use [Vessel](https://github.com/aaroncox/vessel/releases) by @jesta or [eSteem Desktop](https://github.com/eSteemApp/esteem-desktop/releases) by @good-karma to managing your steemit wallet under Windows.
