A command-line, privacy-oriented wallet for the Nano cryptocurrency.
This wallet is targeted towards more advanced users, and is intended to act as a reference implementation for Camo Nano. See below for more details. The wallet also can be quite slow at times, though this is due to having a primitive work-getting system. The Camo Nano protocol is not the limiting factor.
This wallet can be downloaded from the releases page, or compiled from source.
Antivirus software may raise a false alarm when trying to use this wallet.
Ensure that Rust and git are installed on your system before proceeding.
For Debian-based systems, you may have to install some additional dependencies:

Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/expiredhotdog/camonanowallet.git
cd camonanowallet
Compile using Cargo:
cargo build --release
Run:
./target/release/camonano
If you experience an error while attempting to compile from source, please open an issue so that it can be resolved.
For more details and options, use the help command:
camonano help
...or
> help
...or
> help <COMMAND>
Create a new wallet:
camonano new <NAME>
... or load an existing one:
camonano load <NAME>
You will be prompted for a password when creating/loading a wallet.
Generate a new normal or camo account:
> account <INDEX>
> account <INDEX> -c
Refresh the wallet:
> refresh
List any receivable transactions:
> receive
Send coins to a normal or camo account:
> send <FROM> <AMOUNT> <TO>
> send_camo <FROM> <AMOUNT> <TO> -a
Display a detailed breakdown of the wallet's balance:
> balance
Exit the program:
> quit
The wallet is saved automatically after each command finishes.
Run camonano config to display the path to the configuration file. The RPCs and representatives that the software will use, among other things, are located there.
This wallet supports "camo" accounts, which are a privacy tool for Nano, inspired by Monero.
Like most cryptocurrencies, Nano offers little in the way of privacy. With a normal Nano account, everyone can see its entire transaction history, including its current and past balances, who it has received coins from, and who it has sent coins to.
Camo accounts do not have a publically visible transaction history, allowing users to make private payments to each other. When using a camo account, no one except for you can know how many coins you've received, or from whom.
Note that camo accounts are a custom, experimental, and non-standard feature of this wallet, and are generally not supported by other wallets or the wider Nano ecosystem. If you would like to see this feature implemented in other wallets, then try to encourage other developers to support them. See here for a Rust Nano library which supports camo accounts, and here for documentation of the Camo Nano protocol.
Wallet files are encrypted using AES-256. The software is designed to wipe the wallet's sensitive data from memory after usage.
