Title: [XMR] Simple Monero GUI Wallet - Yet another Monero GUI made for Windows
Post by: farianman on November 25, 2014, 03:28:10 PM
Pretty simple GUI written in AutoIT for Monero.

Works off the current bitmonerod.exe, simplewallet.exe and minerd.exe so you'll have to update those separately.

Extract to your bitmonero folder in your Roaming profile : eg. "C:\Users\"YOUR USERNAME"\AppData\Roaming\bitmonero\"

Run monerowallet.exe

Suggest you get the blockchain.bin file form the main threads.

Source is included if anyone wants to help improve.

Latest version 0.35 (2015/1/21)
ZIP including needed Monero binaries:
GUI_Wallet.zip (https://www.dropbox.com/s/ce955ru33el4f67/GUI_Wallet.zip?dl=0)

AU3 only:
monerowallet.au3 (https://www.dropbox.com/s/9oi75ee9o9p3jbe/monerowallet.au3?dl=0)


How to from scratch:
1.) Download monerowallet.zip (https://www.dropbox.com/s/ttt776ayl1rdoob/monerowallet.zip?dl=0)

2.) Extract to your roaming profile: eg. "C:\Users\"YOUR USERNAME"\AppData\Roaming\bitmonero\":

3.) Launch monerowallet.exe

4.) If you don't already have wallet.bin file, you'll get a Welcome prompt:
http://s18.postimg.org/r93fyxjvt/Welcome.jpg

5.) If you already have the bitmonerod binaries skip to step 11. If you don't already have the bitmonerod binaries you'll get a Fatal Error prompt:
http://s28.postimg.org/j3n6icp59/FATAL.jpg

6.) Click OK to download the latest bitmonerod binaries:

7.) The script will pause until you manually extract the binaries:

8.) Extract your binaries to: "C:\Users\"YOUR USERNAME"\AppData\Roaming\bitmonero\":

9.) Once extracted click OK to continue the script:

10.) Click OK to confirm the Found prompt:

11.) Click OK at the Welcome prompt:

12.) Provide your new wallet password. This is masked out so make sure you type correctly.

Caution

Binaries from unknown sources are extremely dangerous and can contain wallet-stealing malware or other forms of harmful code.

Malicious binaries related to Monero have already been seen in the wild, so be careful.

None of this is meant to suggest that this particular program is definitely malicious but the possibility exists.

Examining the sources and rebuilding independently would be much better. I suggest that the OP upload the sources to github and post a link.

EDIT: Suspicious virus scan results have been reported, but it could be the typical false positives that often happen with miners

EDIT 2: Safer instructions:

Right, so anyone that want to use this, just download AutoIT  (https://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/)and use the script in the pastebin (http://pastebin.com/Qyq6nex8).

The monero binaries must be downloaded separately.

If it's written in AutoIT, just show us the script.

Can already created wallet.bin files be imported into this?

It is a script that uses simplewallet for all the actual functions, so yes. You are on your own to figure out how to do it though. I haven't tried it.

Hi Furi Bliz,

Just replace the wallet.bin and wallet.key files with the ones from your existing wallet. Will work fine.

I'll work on some GUI functions for this in the mean time. Just not too sure on the best way to do this, should it ask to import at first setup or put like an existing wallet import button under the file tab? Maybe both haha

Both's a good idea, then it's easier for people to find. If they miss one they will most probably spot the other.

Added v.035.
Includes importing of previous wallets. At first startup if no wallet.bin file is found it'll ask if you want to import an existing wallet, if you cancel it'll create a new wallet.
If you want to import although a wallet already exists you can click file and import wallet. It'll backup and replace the current wallet.bin and wallet.bin.keys files then restart the client.
