This is a GUI wallet for usage with the Bitcoinote (BTCN) cryptocurrency.
Currently, build is supported out of the box only on Linux. Tested with Ubuntu 16.04.
Dependencies: GCC 4.7.3 or later, CMake 2.8.6 or later, and Boost 1.58.
You may download them from:
http://gcc.gnu.org/
http://www.cmake.org/
http://www.boost.org/
Alternatively, it may be possible to install them using a package manager.
You first need to clone the Bitcoinote Core repository. Then, create a symlink named cryptonote to the repository you just cloned, for example:
ln -s ../Bitcoinote-Core cryptonote
To build, run the following commands in the project's root directory:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
To run the GUI wallet, the Bitcoinote Core daemon is not required to run. If a daemon already runs, it will be used - otherwise the wallet will use its own "internal daemon" instead.
Note that mining without a mining pool is not possible with this wallet. For direct mining, use the miner tool from Bitcoinote Core instead.
The wallet includes a block explorer. It can be used only with the "internal daemon" mode, i.e. if the Bitcoinote Core daemon is not running in parallel.
Important: The GUI wallet uses a new format for wallet files. Wallet files created by the GUI wallet cannot be read by the Bitcoinote Core command-line wallet. Furthermore, when you open a wallet file created by the Bitcoinote Core command-line wallet in the GUI wallet, it will automatically convert it to the new format, and afterwards it will no longer be readable by the Bitcoinote Core command-line wallet! When a wallet file is converted, a backup file (<name>.wallet.backup) with the old format is created next to the wallet file. Don't throw away the backup file if you intend to use the command-line wallet in the future.
