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, by creating an environment in which one can create and operate the necessary Daos.
We need uncensorable speech to save civilisation, but uncensorable speech does not pay the bills. Uncensorable money does pay the bills.
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)
pre-requisite, Pandoc to build the html documentation from the markdown files.
Windows pre-requisites: Visual Studio and git-bash
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).
git clone --recurse-submodules missing url
To build the docs, you need pandoc on the path.
cd wallet/docs
./mkdocs.sh
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)
cd wallet
./winConfigure.bat
Or, if you are in the command shell or power shell,
.\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.
git submodule update --init --recursive --remote
After a checkout or branch switch that gives you a status of modified submodules.
git submodule update --recursive
The documentation is in pandoc flavored markdown, which is
conveniently edited in vscode with the markdown lint and Pandoc
extensions included and, if you have launched code in the docs directory,
with file/preferences/Extensions/Markdown/Styles set to
pandoc_templates\\style.css, that being the style used by the mkdocs.sh documentation build script.
On Windows, if Git Bash and Pandoc has been installed, you should be able to run this shell file in bash by double clicking on it.
if you add the recommended repository configuration defaults to your local repository configuration
git config --local include.path ../.gitconfig
this will substantially mitigate the problem of submodules failing to update in pushes, pulls, checkouts, and switches.

It will, however, also implement signed commits, and insist you have set up a key pair as explained in the contributor code of conduct because cryptographic software is under attack from NSA entryists and shills, who seek to introduce backdoors.
.gitconfig also adds several git aliases:
git lgto display the git log with committer name from.gitsignersthat corresponds to the public keygit graphto graph the commit tree with the committer name from.gitsignersthat corresponds to the public keygit aliasto display the git aliases.git utcmtto make a commit without revealing your time zone.
Pre alpha release, which means it does not yet work even well enough for it to be apparent what it would do if it did work.
