Anon Full Node Wallet v1.0.0

WARNING: Be careful when using this software! It is highly experimental.
Always test with small amounts first! It is your responsibility to properly handle your private keys!

Please refer to the issues section if you come across errors. We are currently still developing and working to improve the quality of the wallet. It is always advised to use the terminal to interact with the full node.

Currently, there is no way to fully create a master node within the wallet. To do so, you will need to follow guides and create one through the terminal.

If you're goal is simply claim ANON coins, then you may also use supported light wallets such as zelTreZ, who also offer the option of hosting a full node.

Windows, Mac (Yosemite, El Capitan, Sierra, High Sierra), Linux

Before installation:

Install JDK 10

Setting up your configuration file: (anon.conf)

Ensure your anon.conf file DOES NOT contain the line testnet=1. Remove this line completely and save.

Running the .jar will automatically set up ~/.anon/anon.conf for you. In some cases, you may need to edit it manually. It should contain:

txindex=1
rpcuser=ENTER-RANDOM-ALPHANUMERICAL-PASSWORD
rpcpassword=ENTER-RANDOM-ALPHANUMERICAL-PASSWORD
rpcport=3130
#addnode=...

You will need the latest version of Java.

To build from source, follow the instructions in README.md.

For Linux, you must compile Anon first. You can find the instructions here. Then you can build the GUI from the source or download the AnonymousDesktopWallet-1.0.0.jar and paste it into /home/USERNAME/anon/src/

NOTE: You may need to make the file executable, which can be done with the following command:

chmod u+x AnonymousDesktopWallet-1.0.0.jar

For Mac, you will download the .dmg file. Follow the instructions to move the Anonymous Desktop Wallet.app into the applications folder. Open the Applications folder in finder. Double click the Anonymous Desktop Wallet.app.

For Windows, place the AnonymousDesktopWallet_1.0.0.exe into the Anon node src folder. Example: cp AnonymousDesktopWallet_1.0.0.exe ~/anon/src/. Double click the AnonymousDesktopWallet_1.0.0.exe.

Keep your private keys safe! Always back them up right away!
