MxNero - Monero Wallet GUI Wrapper

[canonsburg]

Here is a noob's attempt at a GUI wrapper for Monero Simplewallet.

https://github.com/canonsburg/MxNero

You need to install Windows .Net Framework 4.5 (https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=30653)

1. Startup screen


2. Select wallet.keys file


3. Enter Password


4. Let wallet sync


5. Account Balance


6. Enter Sending Address, amount, mixin



7. Send!





The executable is located at https://github.com/canonsburg/MxNero/tree/master/WpfApplication2/bin/Release/Framework4.5\WpfApplication2.exe


I've only tested this on my own computer so it may not work for all computers.
This is purely experimental. Use at your own discretion. I take no responsibility for lost funds.

Nice work!

I like the CLI, but the more GUIs the merrier.

Looks good. You using moneroclub open node for daemon?

can you create a new wallet with this gui? i

also should indicate (not on error) that simplewallet.exe needs to be in same folder as keys files.

Yes, for now, it is set as the automatic default remote daemon.
Maybe I'll add setting later to select other ones, including local host.

No, you can't create a new wallet as of now. Creating a new wallet with simplewallet command line allows you to write down the mnemonic seed but if I add the option to create a new one using this, I'm not sure if I can somehow retrieve that info.

But yes, simplewallet.exe needs to be located in same folder as the .keys files.

I'm sure you could.. someone in #monero-dev could probably help out if you wanted to get fancy with actually rederiving the mneumonic seed from the keys file, but you could probably just hack the text output from simplewallet somehow. E.g., i know in linux you could probably pipe the output of simeplwallet into some text file and then grep for whatever delimits the mneumonic seed. Sure, there's some problems here with storing the temporary text file - mebbe it can just be blocked in memory somehow.

But in general its something I would really really focus on. GUI's are really made for noob users, right? So its vastly important that a noob user be able to create a new wallet file when using a GUI. If we expect the user to use a CLI to create a wallet file first, then we're assuming they know how to use the CLI, which sort of abrogates the whole reason for creating a GUI.

You know of MoneroX, right? He used the .net framework (i think). Perhaps some code could be ported....

For my needs, it would make more sense to create a Monero paper wallet instead of creating more web or desktop wallets.

There is one available already -> https://moneroaddress.org/

You can also download the file from github and generate a paper wallet offline -> https://github.com/moneromooo-monero/monero-wallet-generator

Ok, revised the build to now include create new wallet option.
Was having some issues with newly created wallet.keys files not showing up in the same folder as simplewallet. Hopefully it doesn't happen here.
