This will guide you through the use of transaction emojis to receive or send Epic Cash
Epic Cash can be sent using Emojis, to do so, follow these steps:
- Run this command:
epic-wallet send -m emoji EpicCashAmount
Example of sending 10 Epic Cash:
epic-wallet send -m emoji 10
- Then you will get an emoji string that you will send to the receiver, then this string is the input for the receive command.
- Wait for the receiver to create a response string of emojis and send it back to you.
- After receiving the string of emojis, finalize the transaction with this command:
epic-wallet finalize -m emoji -i ResponseStringOfEmojis
Example of finalizing a transaction in a string of emojis:
epic-wallet finalize -m emoji -i 🥉🎨📏🤛🪞🥼💸🤎🚟🧞📷😶🪒🈶🍚🌖🦥🦹💳...
Note: Here we cut the string of emojis and add the ... to the end to make it readable on the wiki. The number of emojis that can be generated can exceed a few hundred in rare cases.

Then you will get an emoji string ReceiveStringOfEmojis. Send this string back to the sender to finalize this transaction.
This will guide you through the use of transaction files to receive or send Epic Cash
Epic Cash can be sent using transaction files, to do so, follow these steps:
- Run this command:
epic-wallet send -d TransactionName.tx -m file EpicCashAmount
Example of sending 123.456 Epic Cash in a file named Transaction.tx:
epic-wallet send -d Transaction.tx -m file 123.456
- An Epic Cash transaction file will be generated in the same folder as epic-wallet. Send this transaction file to the receiver.
- Wait for the receiver to create a
TransactionName.tx.responsefile and send it back to you. - After receiving the
TransactionName.tx.responsefile, place it in the same folder as your epic-wallet, and finalize the transaction with this command:
epic-wallet finalize -i TransactionName.tx.response
Example of finalizing transaction in a file named Transaction.tx.response:
epic-wallet finalize -i TransactionName.tx.response
This will guide you to receive Epic Cash using transaction files:
- Place the transaction file in the same folder as your epic-wallet
- Run this command:
epic-wallet receive -i TransactionName.tx
Example of receiving Epic Cash in a file named Transaction.tx:
epic-wallet receive -i Transaction.tx
- An Epic Cash
TransactionName.tx.responsefile will be generated in the same folder as epic-wallet. Send this file back to the Epic Cash sender to process. - The Epic Cash sender must place the
TransactionName.tx.responsefile in the same folder as their epic-wallet, and finalize the transaction with this command:
epic-wallet finalize -i TransactionName.tx.response
Epic Cash can also be sent or received using HTTP, to prepare our wallet for HTTP operations follow these steps:
- Open port 3415 on both router and firewall. See How to Open Ports wikiHow guide.
- You can check if port 3415 is open and view your IP address at CanYouSeeMe.org.
- Start the epic server (this guide can be followed).
- Run the following:
epic-wallet -e listen
To receive Epic Cash using HTTP Listener, follow these steps:
- Provide the sender with your IP address.
- Your Epic wallet must be HTTP listening when the sender sends you Epic Cash.
To send Epic Cash using HTTP Listener, follow these steps:
- Run this command:
epic-wallet send -d “http://RecipientIP:3415” EpicCashAmount
Example of sending 555.555 Epic Cash to IP 123.45.67.89 at port 3415:
epic-wallet send -d “http://123.45.67.89:3415” 555.555
If the recipient’s Epic Cash wallet is actively HTTP listening, the transaction should complete in under 10 seconds. If the recipient’s Epic Cash wallet is not listening, your wallet will attempt to send the transaction for up to ~one minute before timing out.
