Thin client wallet for FTC
-
I developed this browser based wallet for bitcoin, but perhaps it can be modified to work with FTC. It is completely HTML5 and Javascript based. It works well in FireFox, Chrome and Opera browsers so it can be used on PC, Mac, Linux, iPhone, and Android without having to install any additional plugins or software. It also does not need to download the blockchain to get started.
Source: https://github.com/osyed/ew
demo here: http://arimaa.com:9696
It uses a deterministic wallet so there is no need to store any wallet file. Transactions are created and signed in the local browser so the private keys never leave the browser. It can also be used as an offline wallet to generate and sign the transaction and then send the transaction through an online client.
The browser makes AJAX calls to a Python based web server to get unspent outputs and to send the transaction. The web server can be configured to use either blockchain.info, blockexplorer or electurm to get the unspent outputs and to send the transaction.
The code on github could be modified to work with FTC if a web service for getting unspent outputs and sending a raw transaction is available for FTC. Something similar to this:
See http://blockchain.info/api/blockchain_api “Unspent outputs” and http://blockchain.info/pushtx
Such a browser based wallet would make FTC very user friendly. I would encourage the dev team here to fork the EZ Wallet for bitcoin and see if you can get it to work for FTC.

Wow Omar, that sounds brilliant. From what I see (in the forum) the devs are already snowed over.
I’m sure/hope they’ll contact you soon.

This sounds like a very good idea, have you documented this process:[b] Transactions are created and signed in the local browser[/b] From this I take it we would have to rely on no browser exploits appearing? Or am I missing something?.. Either way I will certainly be looking into this after I finish my current projects.
Many thanks for sharing! 8) -
This is a great wallet, thank you.

[/quote]You can run the Python web server on your local PC or Mac so there’s no chance of the web page or javascript file being modified while in transit over the network. You can then open a clean browser to localhost:9696 and the web pages are served from your local computer. As long as you don’t install untrusted or suspicious plugins in your browser it would be very safe. If anyone finds an exploit that doesn’t use a plugin I’ll give them a reward of 5 BTC.

[/quote]Thanks. I just hope it’s adopted for FTC soon.

As I say over and over again, real-world use is the key to ecoin value and survivability.
This looks great.
