MMGEN-ADDRIMPORT: Import addresses into an MMGen tracking wallet
USAGE: mmgen-addrimport [opts] [MMGen address file]
OPTIONS:
-h, --help Print this help message
--longhelp Print help message for long (global) options
-A, --address ADDR Import the single coin address ADDR
-b, --batch Import all addresses in one RPC call (where applicable)
-l, --addrlist Address source is a flat list of non-MMGen coin addresses
-k, --keyaddr-file Address source is a key-address file
-q, --quiet Suppress warnings
-r, --rescan Update address balances by selectively rescanning the
blockchain for unspent outputs that include the imported
address(es). Required if any of the imported addresses
are already in the blockchain and have a balance.
Rescanning now uses the ‘scantxoutset’ RPC call and a selective scan of
blocks containing the relevant UTXOs for much faster performance than the
previous implementation. The rescan operation typically takes around two
minutes total, independent of the number of addresses imported.
It’s recommended to use ‘--rpc-backend=aio’ with ‘--rescan’.
Bear in mind that the UTXO scan will not find historical transactions: to add
them to the tracking wallet, you must perform a full or partial rescan of the
blockchain with the ‘mmgen-tool rescan_blockchain’ utility. A full rescan of
the blockchain may take up to several hours.
A full rescan is required if you plan to use ‘mmgen-tool txhist’ or the
automatic change address functionality of ‘mmgen-txcreate’, or wish to see
which addresses in your tracking wallet are used. Without it, all addresses
without balances will be displayed as new.

MMGEN-ADDRIMPORT: Import addresses into an MMGen tracking wallet
USAGE: mmgen-addrimport --coin=xmr [opts]
OPTIONS:
-h, --help Print this help message
--longhelp Print help message for long (global) options
-a, --autosign Import addresses from pre-created key-address file on the
removable device. The removable device is mounted and
unmounted automatically. See notes below.
-q, --quiet Suppress warnings
For Monero, --autosign is required, and a key-address file on the removable
device is used instead of a user-specified address file as with other coins.
When ‘mmgen-autosign setup’ (or ‘xmr_setup’) is run with the --xmrwallets
option, an ephemeral Monero wallet is created for each wallet number listed,
to be used for transaction signing. In addition, a key-address file is created
on the removable device, with an address and viewkey matching the base address
of each signing wallet.
This script uses that file to create an online view-only Monero wallet to
match each offline signing wallet. The set of view-only wallets currently
configured via --xmrwallets comprises the user’s tracking wallet.
If a view-only wallet for a given index already exists, it’s left untouched
and no action is performed. To add view-only wallets to your tracking wallet,
just specify additional wallet indexes via --xmrwallets during the offline
setup process.
