There’s sparrow server which is tui

yes

I ssh in to home server run that in tmux, a watch-only wallet though

I don't think you can spend from Sparrow Server.

Bitcoin core has CLI wallet but then you have to deal with a Bitcoin core wallet which in case you didn't know doesn't even use BIP39 seedwords.

Let’s build ⚡️

bc only programmers can visually enjoy to the cmd line showing of their wallet balance

Ark CLI written in Go pretty simple for the onchain part, but it may grow in functionalities, you share the majority of the code between managing UTXO and VTXO (Coin selection etc)

Sir, the reason Bitcoin took off was because it started with a nice windows .exe

Whereas lightning started with a linux CLI.

Pls relflect on this

bitcoin-cli sendtoaddress

Maybe because of complacency?

This looks good indeed.

I think it's called "bitcoin-cli".

That said, electrum has a command line and ncurses interface. https://electrum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cmdline.html

There's also always trezorctl, if trezor's your cup of tea. I don't recommend it, but it's a free market.

I think most people like point and click.
