Contributing

Contributions are most welcome. Some contributor activity occurs on Telegram/bobwallet.

Inquiries to integrate with hardware wallets, ecosystem DNS/website infrastructure, and offers to collaborate with other Handshake-aligned projects are also most welcome. Please make inquiries via Telegram, to [at]sdtsui.

If you are an individual developer looking to add a feature, fix a bug, or create new documentation -- please feel free to reach out, even if just to say hello. We are also exploring incentivization mechanisms, potentially ramping up from small bounties to ecosystem-funded full-time developers.

Building From Source

Please see this guide, courtesy of @pinheadmz. It explains how to get set up in dev mode, and includes some helpful tips like (i) how to tail log output and (ii) how one can have a "personal mainnet" Bob while developing on a different Bob instance.

Due to Ledger USB integration, additional dependencies are required:

OSX

If you are running OSX on an arm64 processor (aka "Apple Silicon" or "M1") it is highly recommended to upgrade to Node.js v16 which has arm64 support.

Building for OSX requires one extra "optional" dependency (dmg-license) that can not currently be installed on Windows/Linux systems:

brew install libusb
git clone https://github.com/kyokan/bob-wallet
cd bob-wallet
npm install
npm install dmg-license

Build the app package for the native architecture of your Mac:

npm run package-mac

If you are running OSX on an arm64 but want to build the executable for x86 (Intel) Macs, you can do so but you must first downgrade to Node.js v14 or re-install Node.js v16 for x86 instead of arm64. Building for a non-native architecture will seriously impair the performance of the application, so this option is only recommended for multi-platform distribution by maintainers with M1 Macs. As an extra complication, this process must be run in an environment where libunbound is available as an x86 package.

npm run package-mac-intel

The output app will be created in the /release/mac or /release/mac-arm64 folder. Open Bob.app to start the wallet.

Linux

apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev libudev-dev
git clone https://github.com/kyokan/bob-wallet
cd bob-wallet
npm install

Build the app package:

npm run package-linux

The output app will be created in the /release folder. Open Bob-x.x.x.AppImage to start the wallet.

Ledger

Note that to use Ledger devices with Linux, permissions must be granted to access the USB device. Follow Ledger's own guide here which will instruct you to execute this command:

wget -q -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LedgerHQ/udev-rules/master/add_udev_rules.sh | sudo bash

Test in development mode

npm run dev
