zundernet

Python3 wallet GUI for Pirate Chain

Zundernet is new proof of concept wallet, with features not available in other wallets.
[NEW] Decentralized on-chain in-wallet forum over private blockchain is there!

It works with Pirate (komodod or pirated) .

Why Pirate Chain? Two reasons:

1. Proven double spend protection via Komodo Platform
2. Forced private blockchain, using ZEC tech but with forced p2p tx (biggest anon set among private chains).

NOTE: when using zundernet do not run Pirate at the same time with different wallets.

List of features:

Big:

1. Decentralized on-chain in-wallet forum
2. address book
3. messeging arbitrary length message with signatures (recognizing sender - allows for chat threading)
4. transaction history stored in DB (possible to view sent transactions details without wallet syncing)
5. initial loading of wallet in view mode without running blockchain (e.g. if you only need to copy address no need to wait to sync)
6. handling multiple wallets in data directory
7. wallet and database encryption on closing

Small:

1. amounts rounding
2. handling many addresses - filtering addresses by category
3. creating new wallet by default with random name - to not touch the default one
4. easy merging - z_mergetoaddress
5. able to send many tx in a single one (z_sendmany)
6. easy maintenance - export, import options in gui layer

It is an experimental software. Expect changes and updates as we progress through the development.

It should work on Windows and Linux as long as user has python3 installed with following libraries: pyside2, pycryptodome and some other standard libraries.

Requirements

• Python version >=3.7 (make sure you are using the right version of Python by issuing python3 --version in Linux terminal)
• To use the app you also need Komodo/Pirate deamon
• zcash params (Zcash params for Windows and Linux may be downloaded using attached scripts (komodo-win, komodo-lin) containing also komodo deamons)
• For database you can sync fresh from the network or use bootstrap

Important: Before you start - backup your wallet.dat file just in case.

Dependencies

Install the following dependencies to run Zundernet properly:

sudo apt-get install python3-pip
pip3 install pycryptodome
pip3 install pyside2
pip3 install psutil
pip3 install ssd

Run Zundernet

When all above conditions are met you should run:

1. Windows, cmd:

python zundernet.py

2. Linux, terminal:

python3 zundernet.py

Then you point the app to komodo-cli and wallet file (if you are running custom data dir) to be able to use it.

zundernet's Issues

[Misleading info] Cannot create Channel - before some background values are refreshed after app start

When trying to set a channel from dashboard we get
Must be Synced to set up a channel
even though daemon and GUI both are fully synced with network.

This is a new issue appeared since last code update. This feature worked before.

Add import priv key option

as in title

Switch to pirated

Change deamon

Feature - forced wallet backup to flash drive

1. when wallet.dat exist - force backup
   a) ask for flash drive if not in
   b) if flash drive in - ask for dir to dump wallet dat

2. when fresh wallet - after each z-addr created - force backup / ask for flash drive and directory

Optimize chain read functions

Fresh transaction read, unspent, wallet update and messages.

Feature Request: Display limit of messages

it's like twitter or SMS, when you type a message, long or short, please display the bytes/space remaining for 1 tx and if your message is long, how many tx it would require for the user

Migration to QT library

Current GUI is based on Tkinter. Advantage is it is standard lib, no 3rd parts necessary.
Disadvantage is some UI features not working properly (scrollbar,scaling,dynamic mem freeing)

Feature - invoice request parsing

Receiving amount request with optional params:

• addr to send to
• invoice number
  Parse it to be able to easy accept and send amount to specified address

Overwrite channel info

Special tx from creator to overwrite

New features

1. [done] Many wallets
2. Auto maintenance
3. [done] Import priv keys
4. Tab to see view keys
5. Tool encrypted / decrypt file
6. no password option?

Daemon Rescanning Stuck on CLI

The app gives a timeout that cannot reach the RPC port, have to press Enter to continue rescanning.
