rieWallet is a light and simple Riecoin wallet, which allows to receive and send Riecoins very easily without any setup or blockchain download. This is great for Riecoin beginners or people that don't have a powerful computer. Though, we encourage people to use Riecoin Core and leave it open in order to support the Riecoin network and access more features.
rieWallet is experimental software and should for now only be used for small transactions, though as long as you backup your keys.txt file, there will always be a way to recover funds if something goes wrong.
Find the latest binaries here for Linux and Windows.
This README is intended for advanced users and will mainly only give information for developers like how to compile or contribute. The use of rieWallet should be intuitive, but if you encounter issues, you may get support in the Riecoin Forum.
- Windows Vista or recent enough Linux;
- Virtually any usual 32 or 64 bits CPU (should work for any x86 since Pentium Pro and recent ARMs);
- We only provide binaries for Windows and Linux x64. In the other cases, you must have access to an appropriate build environment and compile yourself the code;
- Some dependencies may be required for Linux, you should be able to figure out which ones.
Compilation should work fine for the systems below. If not, you are welcomed to report issues, however do not make reports when using an old OS.
You can compile this C++ program with g++, as, m4 and make, install them if needed. Then, get if needed the following dependencies:
On a recent enough Debian or Ubuntu, you can easily install these by doing as root:
apt install g++ make git libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev nlohmann-json3-dev libfltk1.3-devThen, download the source files, go/cd to the directory:
git clone https://github.com/Pttn/rieWallet.git
cd rieWalletFinally, make the executable:
makeFor other Linux, executing equivalent commands (using pacman instead of apt,...) should work.
rieWallet can be built statically, in order to have a binary that can be distributed. However, some libraries like X11 or GLibC still have to be linked dynamically so rieWallet may fail to run on very old Linux distributions or need some libraries to be manually installed. For static building, you may need to install
apt install libxft-devA script that retrieves the dependencies' source codes from Riecoin.dev and compile them is provided. If you use it, you should first ensure that you can decompress tar.xz files using tar. If you already built the dependencies once, you can usually reuse existing incs and libs folders and skip this step, though the dependencies may be updated once a while on Riecoin.dev.
Run the script with
sh GetDependencies.sh buildThen wait for the download and compilation to finish. The script must not have been interrupted by an error and the incs and libs folders must have appeared. Then, use
make staticYou can compile rieWallet on Windows, and here is one way to do this. First, install MSYS2 (follow the instructions on the website).
Then, for x64, enter in the MSYS MinGW 64 console, and install the tools and dependencies:
pacman -S make m4 git
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-curl
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-nlohmann-json
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-fltkNote that you must install the mingw-w64-x86_64-... packages and not just gcc or curl. Some dependencies are already included in others, for example GCC includes OpenSSL.
If building for x86, enter instead in the MinGW 32 console and use the mingw-w64-i686-... prefix for the packages.
Clone rieWallet with git, go to its directory with cd, and compile with make (same commands as Linux, see above).
The produced executable will only run in the MSYS console, or if all the needed DLLs are next to the executable. To obtain a standalone executable, you need to link statically the dependencies. For this, the static building instructions above also work in the MSYS console.
sh GetDependencies.sh build
make static- Pttn, author and maintainer.

This work is released under the MIT license.
The version naming scheme is 0.9, 0.99, 0.999 and so on for major versions, analogous to 1.0, 2.0, 3.0,.... The first non 9 decimal digit is minor, etc. For example, the version 0.9925a can be thought as 2.2.5a. A perfect bug-free software will be version 1. No precise criteria have been decided about incrementing major or minor versions for now.
Feel free to do a pull request or open an issue, and I will review it. I am open for adding new features, but I also wish to keep this project minimalist. Any useful contribution will be welcomed.
By contributing to rieWallet, you accept to place your code in the MIT license.
