Greetings,

Today is a big day for CryptoNote technology and every coin that is based on it. CryptoNote reference code repository has been updated with an additional submodule called “cryptonotewallet”.

This step marks a start of new era. Every CryptoNote coin will be able to have a GUI wallet with all necessary features on its start. As a prototype to the first CryptoNote GUI wallet, we’ve used Bitcoin QT. As a well-known solution: simple yet familiar to all cryptocurrency users interface was transformed to suit CryptoNote needs.

Here is a preview of a new wallet:

As you can see, we didn’t change Bitcoin QT interface. Start screen contain all necessary information: balance, unconfirmed balance, number of transactions and recent transactions.

“Send coins” and “Receive coins” tabs will allow you to transfer your funds to any destination you want. Your address is located on “Receive coins” screen. Also, we’ve made some small changes to the Send coins screen compared to Bitcoin QT.

Please note: your wallet is not encrypted upon creation. You should encrypt your wallet through Settings menu > Encrypt Wallet.

Transactions screen will show you transaction that you’ve sent and received and “Address book” will help you deal with a big CryptoNote addresses in most effective way possible.

We are confident that CryptoNote GUI Wallet will help every CryptoNote coin in particular and CryptoNote environment in general.
