Questions about your wallet #3

Open Nokia808 opened 5 years ago

Nokia808 commented 5 years ago

Hi. I would like to ask about the following:

1) is your wallet decentralized one, like "electrum" for Bitcoin ?

2) is it a lightweight monero wallet like "electrum" for Bitcoin ?

3) dear where the Desktop versions for Linux, Mac, Windows ?! I brows: https://github.com/exantech/ & I did not find unless Android & iOS wallets while other repositories seem to have parts of wallet ! Moreover, I visited: https://wallet.exan.tech/ On the home page there is "GET EXA WALLET". But when I clicked it no thing opened to me at all ! I tried by Firefox on Fedora Linux & by Chrome on Android mobile & got nothing in both cases !

Hi!

Thank you for your interest and sorry for the late reply.

  1. Exa Wallet is decentralized wallet in terms of blockchain and use a centralized backend service to deal with multisig functionality (exchange of partial key images and spending proposals). The service is open source and can be found at https://github.com/exantech/monero-wallet-service/ Personal wallets in Exa Wallet don't use that service, just shared ones.

  2. No, it's not a lightweight wallet but a full one, though it doesn't store the whole blockchain on your phone. So it's closer to monero-wallet-gui than to mymonero.com (or electrum etc)

  3. Right now we're working on desktop wallet, which will be fork of the vanilla Monero GUI wallet extended with multisignature features. We'll announce it soon.
