Has anyone verified the BBR GUI is free from virus?
Firefox is warning me when I download it. Is there an easy way I can create a cold wallet address to send to without downloading the GUI at all?
Thanks
The file is fine. Firefox doesn't like the .exe file.
I'm assuming you're using Windows. If so there are two downloads on the Boolberry downloads page. One is "Full Installer" and the other is "Full Package". The "Full Installer" is an .exe file and that is what's causing Firefox to give you a warning. The "Full Package" is a zip file. I personally don't like using installers if I don't have to so I use the "Full Package" and unzip to a directory of my choosing and run the qt-boolb.exe from there. Maybe use the "Full Package" .zip download and then do a mandatory check of the .exe at virustotal.com before launching. Then just wait for it to download the blockchain which will take some time.
You can also use the command line simplewallet which is included in the "Full Package" .zip download.
http://boolberry.com/howto.html#walletthank you. If all I want to do is create an address to send BBR to cold storage can I do that with simplewallet even before the blockchain synch is complete?
My first thought was to use simple wallet but the guide here said that my password would be created in my command history and I was not sure how to solve that:
http://boolberry.com/howto.html#wallet"To generate a new wallet, use this command:
simplewallet --generate-new-wallet="path\to\file\want_to_be_reach.bin"
You will then be prompted for a password. There is an option to enter the password on the command line, but then the password will be saved in your command history which can be read by others."
