I'm glad to announce that Etica GUI v1 is now ready for pre release.

We are actively testing and optimising last details with members of the community.

The wallet is currently being tested on windows and linux computers but we are waiting for a first person to test the wallet on a mac. If you have a mac at disposal for testing the Etica GUI feel free to reach out to me on reddit, discord or telegram.

Here is the wallet: https://github.com/etica/etica-gui

To run the wallet open a command line and run:

    git clone https://github.com/etica/etica-gui.git

    cd etica-gui

    npm install

    npm start

Feel free to test the wallet and share your feedbacks.

I'll shot a demo video of the wallet as soon as I can.


For linux users, if you encounter this error : "Error initialising Geth"

you need to run this command and then make a new wallet with a new directory:

chmod +x yourpathtoeticaguihere/etica-gui/bin/linux/geth

and then once you have tested the wallet cancel the permission:

chmod -x yourpathtoeticaguihere/etica-gui/bin/linux/geth

It's due to the fact the executable needs permission to create a directory for the wallet, but it will be ok if the user creates the directory instead of the executable. I'll update the wallet so that it doesn't need this permission anymore

Once all tests are done we will confirm the first release of the wallet.

In one month Etica blockchain will be one year old, let's keep going
