GUI Wallet for BitcoinLatina

Version: 1.0 Alpha
Version: 1.1 Alpha

Notes: Welcome all to the Clavis Wallet. This software is an Alpha
release and is generally untested. With that being said, there may
be some confusion on how to use this wallet. We hope to clear up
that confusion here with a few points below:

### Windows Sending Bug
******************************************************************
If you cannot send from your wallet, the following may be occuring.

On certain Windows machines, the Scrypt implementation in Bouncycastle, a Web3J dependency, runs poorly. When we say poorly, we mean *really poorly*. So poorly in fact, that it can temporarily push memory usage in Java beyond the default allocated memory heap. We are working on solution for this, but in the mean time, the best work around is to allocate more memory to Clavis Wallet.

To do this, you will need to run the wallet as a jar file with a flag to add more memory to the heap. The latest jar file can be found on our releases page.

Open cmd, and run the following:

`java -Xmx1024m -jar <path to clavis wallet.jar>`
Important Information:

You will now be able to send! Place this command in a batch (.bat) file to automate launching this way.
