Mastercoin wallet implementation in Ruby using QT bindings.
- Ruby 1.9.2 or higher
- Rubygems
- QT 4
Check your ruby version using ruby -v. If the version is lower then 1.9.2 or not installed yet, install rvm and ruby version >= 1.9.2.
Dependencies will differ based on your operating system.
Install homebrew if you haven't got it yet.
- brew install qt cmake
These instructions might not be complete. Additional instructions welcome.
- apt-get install libqt4-gui libqt4-dev cmake ruby-dev libssl-dev
- yum install gcc-c++ qt-devel cmake ruby-devel rubygems
Please note that the default GTK theme (Adwaita) on Fedora 20 is not compatible with the ruby-qt combination used by this wallet. While the wallet will still function, some graphical elements may not be visible. To fix this, you can change the GTK theme using the Gnome Tweak Tool:
yum install gnome-tweak-toolRunning gnome-tweak-tool does not work from the command line, so use ALT+F2 then type the command OR navigate to the icon from Activities->Show Applications->Utilities->Tweak Tool From there you can change the GTK+ theme. The "HighContrast" theme is known to work with the wallet as well as the "Greybird" theme. You may find the Greybird theme more pleasant. If you don't see the Greybird theme as an option, you can install it:
yum install greybird-gtk2-theme greybird-gtk3-themePlease note that this wallet is not meant to be run on Windows. Please check out the MyMastercoin wallet.
If you want to go crazy then here are some pointers:
- Download and install Win32 OpenSSL from: http://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html
- Install Ruby via http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/
- Install the DevKit on that same page, make sure you use the proper one for the ruby version you installed.
- Make sure you follow these instructions on how to properly configure the DevKit
- Start a command prompt with ruby and type "gem install mastercoin-wallet"
This last step should hopefully not be needed anymore but for now we need a custom patched bitcoin-ruby for Windows
- Download the updated bitcoin-ruby gem and install it using gem install bitcoin-ruby-0.0.2.gem
- Go back to the ruby command prompt and type mastercoin-wallet to start it
Once the depencies are installed you can just do gem install mastercoin-wallet to install the wallet. Start it by issuing mastercoin-wallet from a terminal.
The first time you run the wallet it will ask you for a password and your Mastercoin private key. If you use Bitcoin-qt as your main wallet you can find the private key by going to help->debug window->console. In this window you type dumpprivkey followed by your Mastercoin address to retrieve the private key.
Please note that your private key should remain private. If somebody somehow aquires this key then can spend your Bitcoin and Mastercoin please be diligent when transferring your private key.
This client uses Mastercoin-explorer.com to lookup your balance and transaction information and to broadcast new transactions. It does not relay any private information like your private key that information is kept encrypted inside your mastercoin-wallet config file and is never transmitted to a third-party.
This is the initial version of this client, please only use if it you know and accept the risks that come with using w.i.p. applications.
- Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn't been implemented or the bug hasn't been fixed yet.
- Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn't requested it and/or contributed it.
- Fork the project.
- Start a feature/bugfix branch.
- Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution.
- Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
- Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
