⚠️ Development on Godcr has been discontinued, and efforts have now shifted to Cryptopower

godcr

A cross-platform desktop SPV wallet for decred built with gio.

Building

Note: You need to have Go 1.16 or above to build.

Then go build.

Linux

To build godcr on Linux these gio dependencies are required.

Arch Linux: pacman -S vulkan-headers libxkbcommon-x11

FreeBSD

To build godcr on FreeBSD you will need to pkg install vulkan-headers as root. This is a gio dependency.

Running godcr

General usage

By default, godcr runs on Mainnet network type. However, godcr can run on testnet by issuing commands on the terminal in the format:

godcr [options]

• Run ./godcr --network=testnet to run godcr on the testnet network.
• Run godcr -h or godcr help to get general information of commands and options that can be issued on the cli.
• Use godcr <command> -h or godcr help <command> to get detailed information about a command.

Profiling

Godcr uses pprof for profiling. It creates a web server which you can use to save your profiles. To setup a profiling web server, run godcr with the --profile flag and pass a server port to it as an argument.

So, after running the build command above, run the command

./godcr --profile=6060

You should now have a local web server running on 127.0.0.1:6060.

To save a profile, you can simply use

curl -O localhost:6060/debug/pprof/profile
