Custom SmartCash Web-based Wallet Application

saunghanan (32)in #smartcash • 6 years ago (edited)

No doubt, there are a bunch of #SmartCash's wallets out there, both official and 3rd party wallets; Node client, light wallet, web wallet, mobile wallet or even paper wallet. But for some reasons, they don't meet the needs what you want, right?

In the case, I have not found the node client of SmartCash's packages on Ubuntu PPA for my working desktop Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, then got from the source but it doesn't support QT Wallet (GUI of the node client). Another case, I installed the node client on single-board computer that doesn't support the GUI, so I thought I need to develop custom app to interact the node. Perhaps, for further use you want to use the custom app for sharing the wallet to your family & friends, using within organisation, community or even customers; Whatever your reasons are.

I wrote such funny illustration about using crypto in the future, a merchant of small shop using "crypto only" in dialy transaction. A local sellers might have the custom wallet app for their local shopping needs. Find out the post here https://steemit.com/fun/@saunghanan/once-upon-a-time-a-cryto-story

Simple Web Wallet (for now)

I released the initial version of app in BitBucket https://bitbucket.org/saunghanan/smartcash-web-wallet/. This release has simple features:

Web based and mobile first
Balance and wallet information
Send and receive SMART
The latest transactions

Put on your Pi or other SBCs as the node server, you can access everywhere in many devices through your local network or even Internet, that's simple!

Further development (the goal)

It's the long journey, having great potentials in the future. I got the goal for further development:

Multi account. In this feature, you can create many accounts for family members or friends, accounts within organisation or community, and for your customers.
Realtime transactions and notifications.
The interface of the SmartCash's features such as SmartRewards, SmartNodes, SmartVotes etc.
Fiat to SMART conversion. This supports the local merchant use.
And other customs. Give me many great ideas here, mates!

How to install and run the app

You need the node client installed on your computer and running smartcashd or smartcash-qt with the -server argument, the app will communicate to node via HTTP JSON-RPC. Open the smartcash.conf file and add the following lines:

server=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=smartcash
rpcpassword=password
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=9679

After your node is ready, download the release from the initial version package, extract and run with this command:

php -S 127.0.0.1:8080 -t public/

That's it, just open the address http://localhost:8080 on your browser, then access your wallet.

Follow the full instruction from here.

Got an idea? Support this app

This app is the side project, but I always make the deal to myself for a dedicated time to write line-by-line of code. Comment when you got any idea or some input, submit an issue to Bitbucket, or send some SMART or BTC to buy some cup of coffee ☕ to me.
