mobilecoind-buddy is a simple front-end over mobilecoind.
It can also talk to the deqs.
It is written in rust using egui. (This makes it easier to make grpc calls because
we can import the rust API crates and get all the nice type checking, compared to python.)
This is a rapid prototype meant for demos or for developer use. It isn't really meant to be a user-facing product and may have some rough edges, particularly around starting it. However, it has been engineered with proper architecture and error handling, and should be good at what it does.
First, start mobilecoind. It should be listening for grpc on localhost:4444 (the default).
You can open a new terminal and use ./build_and_run_testnet_mobilecoind.sh if you like.
Then, you can use a command like cargo run --release -- --keyfile=example/account_key.json to start the front-end.
You can optionally specify --deqs-uri flag if you want to connect to a DEQS deployment, enabling swaps.
For testnet, you can use --deqs-uri=insecure-deqs://deqs.chrisbeck.co.
Or, build and run the deqs locally, against locally running mobilecoind.
cargo run -p deqs-server -- --db-path /tmp/deqs-db --ledger-db /tmp/testnet/ledger-db --client-listen-uri insecure-deqs://localhost
