Introduction

Stellite is a private, secure, untraceable, decentralised digital currency. You are your bank, you control your funds, and nobody can trace your transfers unless you allow them to do so.

Privacy: Stellite uses a cryptographically sound system to allow you to send and receive funds without your transactions being easily revealed on the blockchain (the ledger of transactions that everyone has). This ensures that your purchases, receipts, and all transfers remain absolutely private by default.

Security: Using the power of a distributed peer-to-peer consensus network, every transaction on the network is cryptographically secured. Individual wallets have a 25 word mnemonic seed that is only displayed once, and can be written down to backup the wallet. Wallet files are encrypted with a passphrase to ensure they are useless if stolen.

Untraceability: By taking advantage of ring signatures, a special property of a certain type of cryptography, Stellite is able to ensure that transactions are not only untraceable, but have an optional measure of ambiguity that ensures that transactions cannot easily be tied back to an individual user or computer.

About this Project

This is the GUI for the core Stellite implementation. It is open source and completely free to use without restrictions, except for those specified in the license agreement below. There are no restrictions on anyone creating an alternative implementation of Stellite that uses the protocol and network in a compatible manner.

As with many development projects, the repository on Github is considered to be the "staging" area for the latest changes. Before changes are merged into that branch on the main repository, they are tested by individual developers in their own branches, submitted as a pull request, and then subsequently tested by contributors who focus on testing and code reviews. That having been said, the repository should be carefully considered before using it in a production environment, unless there is a patch in the repository for a particular show-stopping issue you are experiencing. It is generally a better idea to use a tagged release for stability.

Compiling StelliteGUI in a VM

Make sure you have more then 8GB RAM in the virtual machine for a proper compile.

Compiling StelliteGUI from Source

On Linux:

(Tested on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS x64, 16.04 x86, 16.10 x64, Gentoo x64 and Linux Mint 18 "Sarah" - Cinnamon x64)

1. Install Stellite dependencies

• For Ubuntu and Mint

  sudo apt install git-all build-essential cmake libboost-all-dev miniupnpc libpcsclite-dev libzmq3-dev libminiupnpc-dev libunbound-dev graphviz doxygen libunwind8-dev pkg-config libssl-dev

• For Gentoo

  sudo emerge dev-vcs/git app-arch/xz-utils app-doc/doxygen dev-cpp/gtest dev-libs/boost dev-libs/expat dev-libs/openssl dev-util/cmake media-gfx/graphviz net-dns/unbound net-libs/ldns net-libs/miniupnpc net-libs/zeromq sys-libs/libunwind

2. Grab an up-to-date copy of the stelliteGUI repository

   git clone --recursive https://github.com/stellitecoin/StelliteGUI.git

3. Go into the repository

   cd stelliteGUI

4. Install the GUI dependencies

Note: Qt 5.7 is the minimum version required to build the GUI. This makes some distributions (mostly based on debian, like Ubuntu 16.x or Linux Mint 18.x) obsolete. You can still build the GUI if you install an official Qt release, but this is not officially supported.

• For Ubuntu 17.10+

  sudo apt install qtbase5-dev qt5-default qtdeclarative5-dev qml-module-qtquick-controls qml-module-qtquick-controls2 qml-module-qtquick-dialogs qml-module-qtquick-xmllistmodel qml-module-qt-labs-settings qml-module-qt-labs-folderlistmodel qttools5-dev-tools

• For Ubuntu 16.04 x86

  sudo apt-get install qtbase5-dev qt5-default qtdeclarative5-dev qml-module-qtquick-controls qml-module-qtquick-xmllistmodel qttools5-dev-tools qml-module-qtquick-dialogs

• For Ubuntu 16.04+ x64

  sudo apt-get install qtbase5-dev qt5-default qtdeclarative5-dev qml-module-qtquick-controls qml-module-qtquick-xmllistmodel qttools5-dev-tools qml-module-qtquick-dialogs qml-module-qt-labs-settings qml-module-qtgraphicaleffects

• For Linux Mint 18 "Sarah" - Cinnamon x64

  sudo apt install qml-module-qt-labs-settings qml-module-qtgraphicaleffects

• For Gentoo

  sudo emerge dev-qt/qtcore:5 dev-qt/qtdeclarative:5 dev-qt/qtquickcontrols:5 dev-qt/qtquickcontrols2:5 dev-qt/qtgraphicaleffects:5

• Optional : To build the flag WITH_SCANNER

  • For Ubuntu and Mint

    sudo apt install qtmultimedia5-dev qml-module-qtmultimedia libzbar-dev

  • For Gentoo

    The qml USE flag must be enabled.

    emerge dev-qt/qtmultimedia:5 media-gfx/zbar

5. Build the GUI

• For Ubuntu and Mint

  ./build.sh release-static

• For Gentoo

  QT_SELECT=5 ./build.sh

6. cd build and make deploy

cd build

make deploy

The executable can be found in the build/release/bin folder.

On OS X:

1. Install or update Xcode from the AppStore
2. Install homebrew via the Terminal
3. Install stellite dependencies via the Terminal:

brew install git

brew install boost --c++11

brew install openssl - to install openssl headers

brew install pkgconfig

brew install cmake

brew install unbound

brew install miniupnpc

brew install zeromq

brew install doxygen

brew install pcsc-lite

brew install qt5 (or download QT 5.8+ from qt.io)

If you have an older version of Qt installed via homebrew, you can force it to use 5.x like so:

brew link --force --overwrite qt5

5. Add the Qt bin directory to your path

   Example: export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/Qt/5.8/clang_64/bin

   Example: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/Cellar/Qt/5.11.1/bin

   This is the directory where Qt 5.x is installed on your system

6. Grab an up-to-date copy of the stelliteGUI repository

git clone --recursive https://github.com/stellitecoin/StelliteGUI.git

7. Go into the repository

cd stelliteGUI

8. Start the build

./build.sh release-static

9. When its done compiling

cd build

10. time to make a deploy

make deploy

The executable can be found in the build/release/bin folder.

Note: Workaround for "ERROR: Xcode not set up properly"

Edit $HOME/Qt/5.8/clang_64/mkspecs/features/mac/default_pre.prf

replace isEmpty($$list($$system("/usr/bin/xcrun -find xcrun 2>/dev/null")))

with isEmpty($$list($$system("/usr/bin/xcrun -find xcodebuild 2>/dev/null")))

On Windows:

1. Install MSYS2, follow the instructions on that page on how to update system and packages to the latest versions

2. Open an 64-bit MSYS2 shell: Use the MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit shortcut, or use the msys2_shell.cmd batch file with a -mingw64 parameter

3. Install MSYS2 packages for StelliteGUI dependencies; the needed 64-bit packages have x86_64 in their names

   pacman -S git-core mingw-w64-x86_64-libpsl mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain make mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake mingw-w64-x86_64-boost mingw-w64-x86_64-openssl mingw-w64-x86_64-zeromq mingw-w64-x86_64-libsodium mingw-w64-x86_64-miniupnpc pkg-config mingw-w64-x86_64-unbound
   

4. Install Qt5

   pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5
   

   There is no more need to download some special installer from the Qt website, the standard MSYS2 package for Qt will do in almost all circumstances.

5. Close and then open the MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit shell

   %MSYS_ROOT%\msys2_shell.cmd --mingw64

   c:\msys64 if your host OS is x64-based

6. Clone repository

   cd
   git clone --recursive https://github.com/stellitecoin/StelliteGUI.git
   

7. Build the GUI

   cd StelliteGUI
   export PATH=$(ls -rd /mingw64/bin | head -1):$PATH
   export PATH=$(ls -rd /usr/bin | head -1):$PATH
   ./build.sh
   cd build
   make deploy
   

The executable can be found in the .\release\bin directory.

8. If you see errors with boost try to install the 1.66.0-2 version of boost, specificly the required static libraries

   wget http://repo.msys2.org/mingw/x86_64/mingw-w64-x86_64-boost-1.66.0-2-any.pkg.tar.xz
   Pacman -U mingw-w64-x86_64-boost-1.66.0-2-any.pkg.tar.xz
