```

## Common Workflows

### 1. Complete Wallet Setup
```bash
# Create wallet
/opt/aitbc/aitbc-cli wallet create my-wallet --password-file /var/lib/aitbc/keystore/.password

# Get wallet address
WALLET_ADDR=$(/opt/aitbc/aitbc-cli wallet balance my-wallet --format json | jq -r '.address')

# Check balance
/opt/aitbc/aitbc-cli wallet balance my-wallet
```

### 2. Transaction Workflow

# Check sender balance
/opt/aitbc/aitbc-cli wallet balance sender-wallet

# Send transaction
/opt/aitbc/aitbc-cli wallet send sender-wallet --to $WALLET_ADDR --amount 1000 --password-file /var/lib/aitbc/keystore/.password

# Monitor transaction
/opt/aitbc/aitbc-cli wallet transactions sender-wallet --limit 3

# Check recipient balance
/opt/aitbc/aitbc-cli wallet balance recipient-wallet
```

### 3. Network Monitoring
```bash
# Check network status
/opt/aitbc/aitbc-cli network status

# Check chain information
/opt/aitbc/aitbc-cli blockchain info

# List all wallets
/opt/aitbc/aitbc-cli wallet list

# Check all wallet balances
for wallet in $(/opt/aitbc/aitbc-cli wallet list --format json | jq -r '.[].name'); do
  echo "Wallet: $wallet"
  /opt/aitbc/aitbc-cli wallet balance $wallet
  echo "---"
done
```

## Cross-Node Operations

### aitbc1 to aitbc Operations
```bash
# On aitbc1 - check network status
/opt/aitbc/aitbc-cli network status

# On aitbc - check network status
ssh aitbc '/opt/aitbc/aitbc-cli network status'

# Send from aitbc1 to aitbc wallet
/opt/aitbc/aitbc-cli wallet send genesis --to $AITBC_WALLET_ADDR --amount 1000 --password-file /var/lib/aitbc/keystore/.password

# Check balance on aitbc
ssh aitbc "/opt/aitbc/aitbc-cli wallet balance aitbc-user"
```

## Error Handling

The CLI provides comprehensive error handling with specific exception types:

### Improved Error Handling (April 2026)
Recent improvements to error handling across all services:

- **Specific Exception Types**: Replaced generic `except Exception` with specific exception types
- **Network Errors**: `ConnectionError`, `Timeout`, `HTTPError` for network operations
- **File Operations**: `FileNotFoundError`, `PermissionError`, `IOError` for file access
- **Data Processing**: `JSONDecodeError`, `KeyError`, `StopIteration` for data operations
- **System Errors**: `OSError`, `psutil.Error` for system operations

### Service Error Handling
All services now have improved error handling:

- **monitor.py**: Handles JSON decode errors, file not found, permission errors
- **real_marketplace_launcher.py**: Handles subprocess errors, file access errors
- **blockchain_http_launcher.py**: Handles subprocess errors, connection issues
- **gpu_marketplace_launcher.py**: Handles subprocess errors, system errors
- **miner_management.py**: Handles network errors, JSON decode errors, data processing errors

### CLI Error Messages
The CLI provides clear, actionable error messages:

- **Wallet Not Found**: Clear error message when wallet doesn't exist
- **Invalid Parameters**: Detailed parameter validation errors
- **Network Errors**: RPC connectivity issues with helpful messages
- **Transaction Errors**: Detailed transaction failure information
- **System Errors**: System-level error information with context

## Security Best Practices

1. **Password Management**: Use password files instead of command-line passwords
2. **File Permissions**: Ensure keystore files have proper permissions (600)
3. **Network Security**: Use HTTPS for RPC endpoints in production
4. **Backup**: Regularly backup keystore files
5. **Validation**: Always verify transaction details before sending

## Performance Optimizations

### Database Connection Pooling (April 2026)
Recent performance improvements to database operations:

- **Connection Pooling**: Configured for PostgreSQL/MySQL (pool_size=10, max_overflow=20)
- **Connection Validation**: pool_pre_ping=True to verify connections before use
- **Connection Recycling**: pool_recycle=3600 to recycle connections after 1 hour
- **SQLite Optimization**: StaticPool for SQLite with timeout configuration

### Cache Management (April 2026)
Enhanced cache system with memory management:

- **Memory Limits**: Configured max_size=1000, max_memory_mb=100
- **Automatic Eviction**: Oldest entries evicted when size limit reached
- **Memory Monitoring**: Periodic memory limit checking and garbage collection
- **Performance Tracking**: Cache hit rate and statistics monitoring

### Performance Metrics
The system now tracks comprehensive performance metrics:

- **Cache Hit Rate**: Monitors cache effectiveness
- **Operation Timing**: Tracks execution time for all operations
- **Error Rates**: Monitors error frequency and types
- **Resource Usage**: Tracks memory and CPU usage patterns

### Optimization Recommendations

1. **Use Cache**: Leverage caching for frequently accessed data
2. **Connection Pooling**: Database connections are pooled for efficiency
3. **Batch Operations**: Use batch commands when possible
4. **Monitor Performance**: Use analytics command to check system performance

## Integration with Scripts

The CLI is designed for easy integration with shell scripts:

```bash
#!/bin/bash
# Get wallet balance in script
BALANCE=$(/opt/aitbc/aitbc-cli wallet balance my-wallet --format json | jq -r '.balance')

if [ "$BALANCE" -gt "1000" ]; then
  echo "Sufficient balance for transaction"
  /opt/aitbc/aitbc-cli wallet send my-wallet --to $RECIPIENT --amount 1000 --password-file /var/lib/aitbc/keystore/.password
else
  echo "Insufficient balance: $BALANCE AIT"
fi
```

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

1. **Permission Denied**: Check file permissions on keystore directory
2. **Connection Refused**: Verify RPC service is running
3. **Invalid Password**: Ensure password file contains correct password
4. **Wallet Not Found**: Verify wallet name is correct

### Debug Mode

Add verbose output for debugging:

```bash
# Enable debug output (if implemented)
/opt/aitbc/aitbc-cli --debug balance --name my-wallet
```

## Future Enhancements

Planned features for future releases:

- **Batch Operations**: Send multiple transactions in one command
- **Smart Contracts**: Deploy and interact with smart contracts
- **Staking**: Delegate and undelegate tokens
- **Governance**: Participate in governance proposals
- **NFT Support**: Create and manage NFTs
- **Multi-signature**: Create and manage multi-sig wallets

## Support
