won't work on my Mac: "Wallet daemon could not be found. Please re-install HTML5 wallet."


What version of OSX do you have?

10.9.5

I put the daemon in /bin and tried to start it from command line

The daemon must be put in /usr/local/bin. There is a shortcut in the DMG.

If that is what you meant, then it is strange. Try opening Terminal and typing "/usr/local/bin/iocoind" and see if it works.

how do I use translations? I can't seem to find it

also why does my machine keep making calls to https://chainz.cryptoid.info/explorer/index.data.dws?coin=ioc
The wallet has not been translated yet. If there's demand for translations it will come in a future version.

The calls to cryptoid.info are to determine the current block height. Given your eagerness to dig into our code I'm surprised you didn't figure it out yet.  Wink

Here's how you can make any coin use html5:
https://vid.me/xM4

nothing special about I/O

Here's the IOCoin source for anyone that wants it: https://filetea.me/default/#t1sy2v9Bz0nQ3ut0s7MjzeNXg
Just use jsbeautifier.org on the build.js Smiley its minified, but its relatively easy to figure out Smiley

Again, the copyright to the code is held by the I/O Coin Team. If individuals want to mod it to work with another coin, fine, but I don't think we will take kindly to other coins distributing modified versions of our code.

I know most alt-coins are 99.99% borrowed code + 5 minutes a "developer" spent changing the name of the coin, but we're actually trying to make something original here.

Hmm, looks like I/O's source code out in the open for any coin to implement.  

I/O's "html5" wallet is not a real implementation... they basically just took a web front-end, and stuck it in a wrapper.  Anyone can do this, requires almost no real work.

The source code is not out in the open, any more than the Google Docs source code is out in the open. Our wallet ships with a minified version of the code because that's the nature of Javascript.

As to "Anyone can do this, requires almost no real work", that's really insulting considering the amount of time I've worked on writing this wallet from scratch. What's your basis for making such a judgement? Have you ever made a wallet like this from scratch before? I don't think so, or you would know better.

I dare you to try to find this "web front-end" that we took from someone else and stuck in a wrapper, because that didn't happen and it doesn't exist. Period.

Attention Windows 8 Users!

I have prepared a version of our HTML5 wallet which uses the original Qt wallet as the back-end rather than the RPC-only daemon. I have tested this wallet and it works on Windows 8 as intended, but it has not been thoroughly tested so it may not be stable.

DOWNLOAD

Any Windows 7 users who wish to run HTML5 and Qt at the same time can also download and use this wallet.

We are sorry that we were unable to get the daemon working on Windows 8 at this time. We have narrowed down the source of the crash but have not been able to figure out what causes it. Click here to view the crash log. If anyone is able to figure out the cause and fix the problem they can contact Wizfarm for a reward.

Best wishes!

On OS X: /Users//Library/Application Support/html5wallet.conf

I don't think it works? Maybe a location error??

There is a small mistake, it should be "/Users//Library/Application Support/IOCoin/html5wallet.conf". Sorry about that.

Some more advice if you cannot locate the file:
- Make sure you've run the wallet one or more times already, otherwise the file/folder will not exist yet.
- Your Library folder will probably be hidden. Press shift-command-G in Finder to open the Go To Folder dialog and enter the path manually.

I would like to point out, i use Windows 8 and it is a horrible OS.  I am not surprised that the new wallet does not want to function correctly on this Operating System, but i am sure the Developers here will have it working in the next few weeks.

I want to clarify that the lack of Windows 8 support is not intentional, we fully intended to support Windows 8. Unfortunately there is a fatal error in the daemon that we are still trying to resolve, so I will be looking into a possible workaround tomorrow so that Windows 8 users can reap the benefits of our new wallet. Though I don't use Windows 8 (outside of testing) I have nothing against it.

I/Ocoin has still delivered. 

Absolutely! Thanks to everyone who has made this release possible.  Smiley

For Windows 8 users: I will be experimenting tomorrow with a version of the wallet that should work on Windows 8. Please stay tuned!

So, is this basically just another marketers coin? just to hype instead of innovate?

I didn't spend the last month and a half "marketing", I spent it at my computer writing code to get this project working. Whether it's hype or not is for you all to judge, now that it is released to the public.

So essentially what you have is a web wallet wrapped using node-webkit, whereas other coins have actually created a standalone product that works with their coin only.. Why not open source it since it works with any coin?

It's an RPC front-end packaged with an RPC-only daemon, with clean separation between the front-end and daemon. No, it's not a "web wallet", none of your data is stored on our servers. No it can't be used for just any coin, as there are some I/O-specific functions included. Regardless, the code is closed source and the copyright is held by the I/O Coin Team to protect the investment that the community has made in I/O Coin, and we will not allow distribution of our code by any other alt-coins.

At the end of the day, we just wanted to bring a new, beautiful, feature-rich wallet to the users of I/O Coin. I respect that Shadowcoin wants to do the same thing and have also made a very impressive wallet. I personally think this Qt/not-Qt pissing contest is shameful and hope that we can respect each other going forward.

i cant seem to get the app to run.  i downloaded the node-webkit but cannot get it to run.
I'm assuming you are on Linux? Did you try the udev fix specified in the notes?

If you come on IRC (#I/OCoin in irc.freenode.net) you can message me (StPatty) and I can help you out.

Just wanted to drop a quick update that we've had the HTML5 wallet in the hands of testers for past few days and we've gotten great feedback. We just have a few issues to clear up before we can release it.

Cheers!

Hello everyone.

Just wanted to announce that I've just finished implementing the last features we will be including in the HTML5 wallet. This means that we just have to do some beta testing and get the wallet daemon compiled on Windows before we can release the wallet.

what's the significance of having an HTML5-based wallet (as opposed to a Qt wallet?)?

Having an HTML5 wallet has 4 main benefits:

1. It's far more visually appealing and user-friendly than a Qt wallet.
2. It's easy to modify the underlying code to support more features, as it is written in Javascript rather than C++.
3. We will have support for third-party skins, so that you can customize the look of your wallet.
4. We can release on it on a reasonable time-frame (if we had written one in C++ with Qt from scratch it would have taken months).

Cool - so what are the disadvantages? I mean, why isn't everyone doing this?

Simply put, most coins just don't have developers who can pull this off.

Also with the new wallet being HTML5 based, it makes it more Apple friendly and increases our chances of getting our new html5 wallet added to the Apple App store.

The technology used in the HTML5 wallet is not compatible with iOS and we don't plan on releasing it for iOS. Sorry if you got the wrong impression.

There are no disadvantages only advantages as much more can be created using HTML5 over the old QT client.

This is true.

"IO coin does not make announcements of vapour ware that will never happen..."  right now that is what the new wallet looks like.

Greetings, I am the developer of the new desktop wallet.

I understand your concern about when the wallet is going to be released, but please understand that there is no deadline right now. I'm also a student and have been busy with real life issues for a few days and have just began to get back on track with development.

I will be releasing a new update soon but I would rather stay focused on the task rather than spend time arguing about whether or not the wallet is "vapour ware". The wallet is real and is being developed.

Wallet Update #2!

Hello again! It's been about a week since the last update, so I thought it might be a good time for another.

Progress is being made bit by bit on the new wallet. Since this is a completely new UI for the wallet I've been working hard on replicating all the features of the Qt wallet.

So far I have:
  • Added support for sending and receiving IOCoin.
  • Developed an object-oriented, panel-based UI framework.
  • Recreated the transactions list.

We have some challenges ahead:
  • Saving/loading settings and creating a settings panel to play with the settings.
  • Recreating the address book.
  • Recreating the debug console.

We have decided not to release the wallet until it is at feature-parity with the Qt wallet. After that release, future releases will contain new features not found in the Qt wallet.

WALLET UPDATE #1!

Work on the new wallet is progressing nicely. The wallet is able to boot up the wallet daemon, establish a connection, and issue commands.

Remaining issues:
  • Automatic detection of iocoin.conf location.
  • More UI work (skinning and layout).
  • Filling in UI with data from daemon.
  • Making the various functions of the UI work.

Cheers!

Moved coins to wallet almost 24 hours back- updated the walled to the newer version.

Still not staking- coin not matured. How long does it take for coins to mature?

And how to split on received transaction into smaller inputs for better staking!!!

any1 care help Smiley

How long it takes to mature depends on which block they are in.

Blocks      1 - 6449: 510 confirms.
Blocks 6450 - 6465: 240 confirms.
Blocks 6466 - 6484: 160 confirms.
Blocks 6485 - rest: 110 confirms.

How to split into smaller inputs? Send small amounts to another wallet you have.

Everyone with GUE should start staking. If you have GUE on sitting on Bittrex withdraw and stake it yourself because they don't stake.
