Bob Wallet: A Handshake Wallet and Full Node

Bob Wallet is a Handshake wallet with an integrated full node.

Status: This is beta software. As with all wallet GUIs, please use with care, and at your own risk.

How to Install Bob Wallet

Most users should use the prebuilt binaries in this repo's releases page.

Note: this screenshot is unlikely to age well but the filetypes are highlighted so you know what to install. It says 0.2.6 here but you should always look for the latest version.

OSX: .dmg
Windows: .msi
Linux: .AppImage

Features

Bob supports all of the following features:

Name auctions
DNS record management
Send/receive coins
Airdrop claims (Note that you need to wait 100 blocks before spending the airdrop reward)
Name watchlists
Transferring names

Contributing

Contributions are most welcome. Some contributor activity occurs on Telegram/bobwallet.

Inquiries to integrate with hardware wallets, ecosystem DNS/website infrastructure, and offers to collaborate with other Handshake-aligned projects are also most welcome. Please make inquiries via Telegram, to [at]sdtsui.

If you are an individual developer looking to add a feature, fix a bug, or create new documentation -- please feel free to reach out, even if just to say hello. We are also exploring incentivization mechanisms, potentially ramping up from small bounties to ecosystem-funded full-time developers.

Building From Source

Please see this guide, courtesy of @pinheadmz. It explains how to get set up in dev mode, and includes some helpful tips like (i) how to tail log output and (ii) how one can have a "personal mainnet" Bob while developing on a different Bob instance.

Due to Ledger USB integration, additional dependencies are required:

OSX

brew install libusb
git clone https://github.com/kyokan/bob-wallet
cd bob-wallet
npm install

Build the app package:

npm run package

The output app will be created in the /release/mac folder. Open Bob.app to start the wallet.

Linux

apt-get install libusb-dev libudev-dev
git clone https://github.com/kyokan/bob-wallet
cd bob-wallet
npm install

Build the app package:

npm run package-linux

The output app will be created in the /release folder. Open Bob-x.x.x.AppImage to start the wallet.

Ledger

Note that to use Ledger devices with Linux, permissions must be granted to access the USB device. Follow Ledger's own guide here which will instruct you to execute this command:

wget -q -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LedgerHQ/udev-rules/master/add_udev_rules.sh | sudo bash

Test in development mode

npm run dev
