Title: Iron Fish Light Wallet Guide for Windows Hive OS and Ubuntu Post by: Ardvark69 on April 16, 2023, 04:19:33 PM Currently you need to sync a node and run several complicated steps to make a wallet for Iron Fish. There is a GUI wallet coming in weeks but it won't be ready for the April 20th launch.
Fishguy (in the Iron Fish discord) made a light wallet to allow you to skip some of those steps and avoid running the node. His repository is https://github.com/hairtail/oreos-rust (https://github.com/hairtail/oreos-rust), please star it. I (Chs2 from Flexpool.io) have written this guide to make it easy to use. Consider joining our discord for Iron Fish information and discussion https://discord.gg/P9kXqQrpc8 and consider mining to the best Iron Fish pool, Flexpool. We're currently the only Iron Fish pool that supports Iron+ZIL dual mining. I've pinned a version of this guide that has pictures in our Iron Fish channel. This guide will tell you how to install Oreos light wallet on Ubuntu, Hive OS, and Windows so that you can quickly generate a wallet address and start mining. To send a transaction please refer to the instructions on Oreo’s Github https://github.com/hairtail/oreos-rust or wait for the core developers to release their GUI wallet within a few weeks which you can enter your mnemonic into. Please note that you mine to your "address" but if you enter this address in the explorer you won't see anything as Iron Fish is a privacy chain. You need your keys to view your balance. Ubuntu: Step 0: Update Open Terminal then type in sudo apt update Step 1: Install Cargo sudo apt install cargo Step 2: Install Oreo’s Iron Fish light wallet tool (Please note this was not created by Flexpool and we have not audited the code) git clone https://github.com/hairtail/oreos-rust.git --depth 1 Step 3: Move to the oreos-rust folder cd oreos-rust Step 4: Install Iron Fish dependency ./install_dep.sh Step 5: Build Oreo’s Wallet cargo build –release Step 6: Create your keys ./target/release/oreos account new This will create the wallet “address” you can use for mining and give you your mnemonic+keys. Hive OS Step 1: Click Hive Shell Start if you are accessing your rig remotely. If you are accessing it locally, you can type the below directly without the Shell. Step 2: Please type the below commands and wait for each to finish before typing the next command. apt-get update sudo apt install cargo git clone https://github.com/hairtail/oreos-rust.git --depth 1 cd oreos-rust ./install_dep.sh cargo build --release ./target/release/oreos account new This will create the wallet “address” you can use for mining and give you your mnemonic+keys. Windows WSL Step 1: Search for and Open Windows PowerShell Step 2: In Windows PowerShell type in: wsl --install to install WSL. You may need to restart your computer afterwards. WSL may install Ubuntu for you. Step 3: Go to the Microsoft Store and install Ubuntu Step 4: Once installed, type Ubuntu into PowerShell to start Ubuntu. You will be prompted to create a username and password, please do so. Update Ubuntu with sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade Step 5: Cargo Install Now in PowerShell use the following commands: sudo apt install cargo Step 6: Install and Run Oreo’s Wallet git clone https://github.com/hairtail/oreos-rust.git --depth 1 cd oreos-rust ./install_dep.sh cargo build --release ./target/release/oreos account new This will create the wallet “address” you can use for mining and give you your mnemonic+keys.

I decided to test mining, but I don't know how to check if I have received coins in the wallet. Is there any command written to check availability?

thx in advance Title: Re: Iron Fish Light Wallet Guide for Windows Hive OS and Ubuntu Post by: Ardvark69 on April 21, 2023, 06:50:31 PM Please check the github for instructions. This guide was only for creating a quick wallet address to mine to. For advanced features I'd suggest using the node wallet in CLI.
