About
-----
Wallet is open source software intended to become the manager of hierarchical
deterministic keys for a social network that a superset of the Bitmessage social net,
for securely pseudonymous uncensorable public communication,
and securely private communication. (Telegraph looks like
it will not be private for much longer).
You cannot have truly end to end encryption, except you control your own keys directly.
To make an actually useful social net requires a lot of engineers doing a lot of work, which requires funding, which requires a a profit model. The current business plan being to [eat SWIFT's lunch](./docs/manifesto/SWIFT.html), by creating an environment in which one can create and operate the necessary Daos.
The rest of the documentation is in Pandoc markdown, rather than Gitea or Github markdown, so you will have to build it before any of these links work.
[pre alpha documentation (mostly a wish list)](docs/index.htm)

Prerequisites
---------
pre-requisite, Pandoc to build the html documentation from the markdown files.
Windows pre-requisites: Visual Studio and git-bash
Windows pre-requisites: Visual Studio and git-bash. This software is supposed to be cross platform, and is unlikely to get traction with highly motivate early adopters unless it is cross platform, but currently only builds on Windows.
Download
---------
To obtain the source code from which the project can be built,
including this README.html, from the bash command line (git-bash in windows).
```bash
git clone --recurse-submodules missing url
# assuming Pandoc is installed, and git-bash if you are on
# windows
git clone --recurse-submodules https://gitea.rho.la/cheng/wallet.git
wallet/docs/mkdocs.sh
```
To build the docs, you need pandoc on the path.
The above download relies on `https` for security, but `https` is vulnerable to enemy action by any adversary sufficiently powerful to have a certificate authority in his pocket, so our identity model relies on ssh keys, not domain names, so if you intend to make contributions, it would be preferable to create an account on `gitea.rho.la` with a fake email,
upload your ssh public key to that account, and clone using `ssh` instead of `https`
```bash2
cd wallet/docs
./mkdocs.sh
```bash
git clone --recurse-submodules gitea@gitea.rho.la:cheng/wallet.git
wallet/docs/mkdocs.sh
```
To build the docs, including the license file, you need Pandoc on the path.
```bash
cd wallet
docs/mkdocs.sh
```
Setup
------
To configure and build the required third party libraries in windows, then
build the program and run unit test for the first time, you need to have
Visual studio build tools at their default location)
```bash2
```bash
cd wallet
./winConfigure.bat
msvc/winConfig.bat
```
Or, if you are in the command shell or power shell,
```bat
.\winConfigure.bat
msvc\winConfigure.bat
```
After a pull from remote in which the submodules have changed, the pull
fails to automatically update the submodules by default, and when you
switch or checkout branches, the switch fails to automatically switch
and checkout the brances.
After a pull that gives you a status of modified submodules.

Contributions should be gpg signed.
Never use any email address on a gpg key related to this project
unless it is only used for project purposes, or a fake email, or the
email of an enemy. We don't want Gpg used to link different email
addresses as owned by the same entity, and we don't want email
addresses used to link people to the project, because those
identities would then come under state and quasi state pressure.
if you add the recommended repository configuration defaults to your local repository configuration
```bash
git config --local include.path ../.gitconfig
```
This will implement signed commits and will insist that you have `gpg` on your path,
and that you have configured a signing key in your local config.
This may be inconvenient if you do not have `gpg` installed and set up.
`.gitconfig` adds several git aliases:
1. `git utcmt` to do a commit without recording your timezone in the git history
1. `git lg` to display the gpg trust information for the last few commits.
For this to be useful you need to import the repository public key
`public_key.gpg` into gpg, and `lsign` that key.
1. `git lg` to display the .gitsigner trust information for the last few commits.
1. `git graph` to graph the commit tree with signing status
1. `git alias` to display the git aliases.
To only pull signed commits from people you have listed:
```bash
git config merge.verifySignatures true
gpg --import public_key.gpg
gpg --lsign 096EAE16FB8D62E75D243199BC4482E49673711C
```
We ignore the Gpg Web of Trust model, and instead use the Zooko
identity model.
We use Gpg signatures to verify that remote repository code
We use ssh signatures to verify that remote repository code
is coming from an unchanging entity, not for Gpg Web of Trust. Web
of Trust is too complicated and too user hostile to be workable or safe.
No one ever used it in the intended manner.
