DigiVault

DigiAssets desktop wallet application for digital asset issuance and management.

DigiVault is a desktop client for the DigiAssets protocol layered on top of the DigiByte blockchain.
It utilizes DigiAssets full-node, which in its turn is dependant on DigiByte-Core, the DigiByte reference client.
It downloads and maintains a full copy of the blockchain locally, coupled with parsed DigiAssets assets layer of DigiAssets payload transactions - so it keeps the protocol true peer-to-peer with no dependance on external servers.

Note: A DigiAssets transaction, just as any other DigiByte transaction, requires a tiny amount of DGB to be transferred with it. Since the DigiValut gives full control to the user, it's up to the DigiVault client to finance DigiAssets transactions.

If you would like to deep dive to our programmatic Node.js (and browser) API for issuance and transfer of digital assets, go to Getting started with DigiAssets SDK.

Windows installation instructions

This presumes you have previously loaded up DigiByte (Currently 6.17.2) and sync'd the whole blockchain You'll want to download redis for windows as well as nodejs v8.11.3 win64 .msi installer Also download DigiVault from this repo.

You'll want to add the following to your digibyte.conf in %AppData%\DigiByte\

algo=scrypt
rpcport=14022
txindex=1
testnet=1
rpcuser=rpcuser
rpcpassword=rpcpass
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
server=1
listen=1
daemon=1
deprecatedrpc=accounts

Start by extracting DigiVault in to %UserProfile%\DigiVault This is done for simplicity of running the application

Extract redis-server, then start redis-server.exe and leave the terminal window running at all times

Install node.js following the prompts, then run "Node.js command prompt" from your start menu

Run the following in your Node.js command prompt window:
