Introduction

Haven is an experimental cryptocurrency that proposes a new way of achieving a stable fiat value storage while still having free reign to be traded at market value.

Privacy: Haven uses a cryptographically sound system to allow you to send and receive funds without your transactions being easily revealed on the blockchain (the ledger of transactions that everyone has). This ensures that your purchases, receipts, and all transfers remain absolutely private by default.

Security: Using the power of a distributed peer-to-peer consensus network, every transaction on the network is cryptographically secured. Individual wallets have a 25 word mnemonic seed that is only displayed once, and can be written down to backup the wallet. Wallet files are encrypted with a passphrase to ensure they are useless if stolen.

Untraceability: By taking advantage of ring signatures, a special property of a certain type of cryptography, Haven is able to ensure that transactions are not only untraceable, but have an optional measure of ambiguity that ensures that transactions cannot easily be tied back to an individual user or computer.

About this project

This is the GUI for the core Haven implementation. It is open source and completely free to use without restrictions, except for those specified in the license agreement below. There are no restrictions on anyone creating an alternative implementation of Haven that uses the protocol and network in a compatible manner.

As with many development projects, the repository on Github is considered to be the "staging" area for the latest changes. Before changes are merged into that branch on the main repository, they are tested by individual developers in their own branches, submitted as a pull request, and then subsequently tested by contributors who focus on testing and code reviews. That having been said, the repository should be carefully considered before using it in a production environment, unless there is a patch in the repository for a particular show-stopping issue you are experiencing. It is generally a better idea to use a tagged release for stability.

Compiling the Haven GUI from source

On Linux:

(Tested on Ubuntu 16.04 x86, 16.10 x64, Gentoo x64 and Linux Mint 18 "Sarah" - Cinnamon x64)

1. Install Haven dependencies

• For Ubuntu and Mint

  sudo apt install build-essential cmake libboost-all-dev miniupnpc libunbound-dev graphviz doxygen libunwind8-dev pkg-config libssl-dev libzmq3-dev

• For Gentoo

  sudo emerge app-arch/xz-utils app-doc/doxygen dev-cpp/gtest dev-libs/boost dev-libs/expat dev-libs/openssl dev-util/cmake media-gfx/graphviz net-dns/unbound net-libs/ldns net-libs/miniupnpc net-libs/zeromq sys-libs/libunwind

2. Grab an up-to-date copy of the haven-gui repository

   git clone https://github.com/havenprotocol/haven-gui.git

3. Go into the repository

   cd haven-gui

4. Install the GUI dependencies

• For Ubuntu 16.04 x86

  sudo apt install qtbase5-dev qt5-default qtdeclarative5-dev qml-module-qtquick-controls qml-module-qtquick-xmllistmodel qttools5-dev-tools qml-module-qtquick-dialogs

• For Ubuntu 16.04+ x64

  sudo apt install qtbase5-dev qt5-default qtdeclarative5-dev qml-module-qtquick-controls qml-module-qtquick-xmllistmodel qttools5-dev-tools qml-module-qtquick-dialogs qml-module-qt-labs-settings libqt5qml-graphicaleffects

• For Linux Mint 18 "Sarah" - Cinnamon x64

  sudo apt install qml-module-qt-labs-settings qml-module-qtgraphicaleffects qml-module-qt-labs-folderlistmodel

• For Gentoo

  sudo emerge dev-qt/qtcore:5 dev-qt/qtdeclarative:5 dev-qt/qtquickcontrols:5 dev-qt/qtquickcontrols2:5 dev-qt/qtgraphicaleffects:5

• Optional : To build the flag WITH_SCANNER

  • For Ubuntu and Mint

    sudo apt install qtmultimedia5-dev qml-module-qtmultimedia libzbar-dev

  • For Gentoo

    The qml USE flag must be enabled.

    emerge dev-qt/qtmultimedia:5 media-gfx/zbar

5. Build the GUI

• For Ubuntu and Mint

  ./build.sh

• For Gentoo

  QT_SELECT=5 ./build.sh

The executable can be found in the build/release/bin folder.

On OS X:

1. Install Xcode from AppStore

2. Install homebrew

3. Install haven dependencies:

brew install boost --c++11

brew install openssl - to install openssl headers

brew install pkgconfig

brew install cmake

brew install zeromq

Note: If cmake can not find zmq.hpp file on OS X, installing zmq.hpp from https://github.com/zeromq/cppzmq to /usr/local/include should fix that error.

4. Install Qt:

brew install qt5 (or download QT 5.8+ from qt.io)

If you have an older version of Qt installed via homebrew, you can force it to use 5.x like so:

brew link --force --overwrite qt5

5. Add the Qt bin directory to your path

   Example: export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/Qt/5.8/clang_64/bin

   This is the directory where Qt 5.x is installed on your system

6. Grab an up-to-date copy of the haven-gui repository

git clone https://github.com/havenprotocol/haven-gui.git

7. Go into the repository

cd haven-gui

8. Start the build

./build.sh

The executable can be found in the build/release/bin folder.

Note: Workaround for "ERROR: Xcode not set up properly"

Edit $HOME/Qt/5.8/clang_64/mkspecs/features/mac/default_pre.prf

replace isEmpty($$list($$system("/usr/bin/xcrun -find xcrun 2>/dev/null")))

with isEmpty($$list($$system("/usr/bin/xcrun -find xcodebuild 2>/dev/null")))

On Windows:

1. Install msys2, follow the instructions on that page on how to update packages to the latest versions

2. Install Haven dependencies as described in haven documentation into msys2 environment As we only build application for x86, install only dependencies for x86 architecture (i686 in package name)

   pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-toolchain make mingw-w64-i686-cmake mingw-w64-i686-boost mingw-w64-i686-openssl mingw-w64-i686-zeromq mingw-w64-i686-libsodium
   
   

3. Install git into msys2 environment

   pacman -S git
   

4. Install Qt5 from official site

   • download unified installer, run and select following options:
     • Qt > Qt 5.7 > MinGW 5.3.0 32 bit
     • Tools > MinGW 5.3.0
   • continue with installation

5. Open MinGW-w64 Win32 Shell shell

   %MSYS_ROOT%\msys2_shell.cmd -mingw32

   Where %MSYS_ROOT% will be c:\msys32 if your host OS is x86-based or c:\msys64 if your host OS is x64-based

6. Install the latest version of boost, specifically the required static libraries

   cd
   wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.63.0/boost_1_63_0.tar.bz2
   tar xjf boost_1_63_0.tar.bz2
   cd boost_1_63_0
   ./bootstrap.sh mingw
   ./b2 --prefix=/mingw32/boost --layout=tagged --without-mpi --without-python toolset=gcc address-model=32 variant=debug,release link=static threading=multi runtime-link=static -j$(nproc) install
   

7. Clone repository

   cd
   git clone https://github.com/havenprotocol/haven-gui.git
   

8. Build the GUI

   cd haven-gui
   export PATH=$(ls -rd /c/Qt/5.[6,7,8]/mingw53_32/bin | head -1):$PATH
   ./build.sh
   cd build
   make deploy
   

The executable can be found in the .\release\bin directory.
