jaywallet

A lightweight java client for the nxt cryptocurrency.

Version 0.01 has been released! Proof of Concept Edition

How To Run:

  *must have java version 7 or higher to run

Features:

- Send Money to already established accounts - Barely functioning GUI

Why Is This Cool:

• does all signing w/ the passphrase locally
• passphrase is never sent to a node
• no need to download the blockchain

Compared To The Normal Client:

- Size w/ db: (subject to Change)
NRS: 600MB
Jay: 4.5MB

• Start time: (On my machine)
  NRS: 36 sec. (w/ blocks) 30 min (w/o blocks)
  Jay: 1 sec.
  

In Development:

- GUI that doesn't suck - Account creation w/ public key broadcaster - Place to put a public key to fund a new account - Recent trasactions - Send messages - Send money through aliases - Asset exchange and Marketplace and all that cool stuff (far away)

Disclaimer:

- Jay is still in development, so it has a horrid gui and barely any functionality, it will get better over time.
