### Overview

neptune-proton is a GUI dashboard/wallet for neptune-core. It does not manage its own keys, but rather provides a graphical interface to the wallet that is built into neptune-core. It is a GUI alternative to the neptune-dashboard TUI that comes bundled with neptune-core.

important: It requires that neptune-core is running on the same machine (localhost) before starting the app.

### Release Binaries

neptune-proton 0.1.0 binaries (deb, rpm, appimage) are available at:

> **[Release v0.1.0 · Neptune-Crypto/neptune-proton](https://github.com/Neptune-Crypto/neptune-proton/releases/tag/v0.1.0)**
>
> an experimental GUI wallet prototype for neptune-cash - Release v0.1.0 · Neptune-Crypto/neptune-proton

I had hoped to make Mac and Windows binaries available as well, but a couple technical issues must be resolved first. Should be up in 1-2 weeks.

### Status

This release is still in kind of a rough state but most major functionality is there. I wanted to get something out for people to “kick the tires”.

I believe this is the first neptune wallet app to support:

1. QR codes (animated)
2. Amount display and entry in national currencies (fiat).
3. sending to multiple recipients
4. generation of symmetric keys (only for sending to wallets under your own control)

### Running The App

By default the app will not use national currency (fiat) prices. Many/most users will likely want this, and thus should start the app with:

```auto
NPT_ONLY=0 neptune-proton

```

See the README for additional env vars.

### Contributions

Feel free to comment/discuss in this thread. If (when) you discover bugs, please report them on github.

If you would like to contribute code, I would suggest that for small pull-requests, just submit the PR, but for anything large, please open an issue to discuss it first, so we are in agreement as to direction and you won’t be wasting time/effort on something that might not be accepted.

### Security

At this time, this code has _NOT_ been reviewed or audited by anyone but myself.

The wallet does not generate or manage its own keys. It relies on neptune-core for key generation, derivation, transaction history, etc. Generally it should have about the same security profile (stengths, weaknesses) as neptune-dashboard.

I would ask that technical users review the code to assure themselves and others that the above statements are true.

### Screen Shots
