Blur Network GUI Wallet & Miner

This is the first full prerelease for the Blur Network GUI Wallet/Miner, available on all major platforms. Windows was compiled for Windows 10, Linux for Ubuntu 18.04.1, and Mac for 10.12 Sierra, and above. The GUI is written in Qt and functions on a backend daemon, compiled statically against the corresponding v0.1.7.6.1 'Lustrous Nebula' release. Most of the code has been adapted from the Monero & Masari GUI Wallets.

Getting Started

TROUBLESHOOTING:

  • IF YOUR WALLET DOES NOT SHOW A BALANCE: Go to the 'settings' tab & scroll to the bottom. There should be an area that says "Wallet creation height". Set this to zero, and rescan for transactions. Setting it to a block height prior to the transfers you are missing, should find your coins.
  • IF YOUR HASHRATE IS HOVERING AROUND 2-4 H/s: Uncheck the box next to "Background Mining (experimental)" within the Mining tab.

Linux

gpg:                using RSA key F3FEDCCFA90C568313183C33D5C9054050576902
gpg: Good signature from "Blur Network (Blur: The Private Cryptocurrency) <[email protected]>" [unknown]
gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
gpg:          There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.```

The output should say "Good Signature." The warning message is due to no trust index being assigned to the signature, simply ignore it.
