DESCRIPTION
Electrum is a lightweight Bitcoin wallet focused is speed, with low resource usage and simplifying Bitcoin. Startup times are instant because it operates in conjunction with high-performance servers that handle the most complicated parts of the Bitcoin system. Electrum has a list of possible options specific to each command as well as a set of global options. Some commands also accept positional arguments at the end of the options list. Running electrum help command will list the options and positional arguments compatible with that command.
