BlackWallet: enhanced account-viewer

orbit84

This wallet was hacked. Don't visit the website to check your balance! Your XLM will be stolen in the moment you login!

If you used Blackwallet in the past and have funds there, then login to Stellar Account Viewer to use them. If you don't login in the Blackwallet website your XLM is safe.

There's a script in the official Blackwallet website which will send all your XLM to a hacker's wallet immediately after you login. Please, use the official Stellar Account Viewer to check your funds and use them.

Hey! I'm Alexis, a French IT student and Stellar holder since 2k14 8)
I've been working on BlackWallet the last weeks/months, tried many things, started over again and again (dev routine ?) but finally, today, I'm proud to be here, introducing the first, but not least version of BlackWallet!

LINK

THE PROJECT

BlackWallet is a web Stellar Lumens wallet, it was built using javascript & stellar horizon. I like to describe it as an enhanced account viewer as it doesn't require users to create an account - all you need is a private key.
However the stellar's account viewer and blackwallet share no code at all, I built blackwallet from scratch.

My goal is to create an easy but powerful wallet with as many features as possible. The idea is that blackwallet could be used by new users for its simplicity while at the same time being used by the confirmed users for its advanced features.
That's ambitious I know. But I truly believe this can be achieved - at least, I'm doing my best to make it a better wallet everyday.

As I said, blackwallet is a web wallet, but can be used on any device that can execute javascript code - it can also be used as a web-app on iOS (by simply enabling the mobile mode in the settings and adding blackwallet to the screenboard).

I'll post here what I'm working on, the changelogs and what may come in the future - feel free (and I'd love that you do so) to post some feedbacks, ideas, bug reports here, this would really help! Many brains are better than one!

Hi,

I have just seen your project. The design of the website is nice: clean and functional. There is consistency between name and colors, which is a good point.

Regarding the project itself, you are working on setting up a feature that will allows users to send Lumens to an e-mail address. It's really nice and I expect a lot from this innovation.

Your app allows multi-account, it's also a good point, especially with the customization of account names.

Another advantage is the ability to connect to the application without the need to create an account. You really stand out from the current Wallets with this specification.

I hope that you will continue to work on the design that can be further improved and I wish you good luck.

In any case I will follow your project!

JeanTrading Hey, thanks, I appreciate your feedback!

An overall design improvement is planed, but it may take some time as I have to think of how I could improve it (yay, I'm not a design god sadly ? - would love to hear some ideas / tips if a designer's reading me ? )

BrianGale

Looks really good so far. Clean design. easy-to-use, lots of great documentation for new users. Looking forward to seeing more updates.

orbit84

BrianGale Working on it ?

I'm happy to see that the design and global UX is received as I wanted it to be: clean & easy-to-use will being powerful.

The next coming updates should be:
- new (sexy) index page
- sending lumens to email addresses

Mtw3

Impressive work ! I'm sure your project will allow XLM to be used easily by people. I like the cleaned interface even if it's not the final design. And being able to use it without registration is really a good thing. I really hope to be able to use it soon.

orbit84

Mtw3 Hey, thanks! That's the plan! Blackwallet's main goal is being easy enough so that newcomers can easily join our lovely Stellar's community, while providing them multiple & powerful features ?

I'm happy to see that people are hyped by the fact you don't need to register to use blackwallet- I've always thought I was the only person that disliked this registration thing ?

LaChaise

Impressive !

Very clean UI and design (I don't think it needs to be that improve). I think the most important advantage is that you can use it without being register,
plus it's very simple and easy to use, I hope it will get the intention it deserve.

Hi,

Your work is impressive! The wallet is ergonomic and the design is clean.
It is really interesting to don't have to create an account to have a wallet.

I will check next updates for sure!

bkolobara

I managed to open the website yesterday, but today when I click on the MY WALLET button I get an error. And nothing I click on/refresh fixes it ?

screenshot

Just wanted to know if it supports federation addresses and the merge operation?

All newcomers have the problem that the wallets force them to leave 20 XLM behind when sending everything. It results in a bunch of accounts left behind with 20 XLM. Would be great if wallets started to give a message "Hey, your account would have 1XLM left after this operation. Would you like to send everything instead?"

bkolobara

Hello,

Okay I guess you used the mobile mode - it also happened to me by the past but I thought that I had fixed it!
It's a bug from the secret key encryption / decryption algorithm, I'll look into it ?
I'll also add a way to close the wallet to prevent situations like you, where the user is blocked in front of an empty page :/

Regarding the federation & merge operation thing: Nope, not yet - I am still reading & learning from the stellar docs and plan to add as many features as possible! So I guess it's only a question of time ?

For your problem, because the hotfix is not yet deployed, you can execute: localStorage.clear(); in the javascript's console and it should works again.

EDIT: how do you to display images directly in messages please?

bkolobara

orbit84 Thanks! Works again after the fix.

You can use markdown to format messages.

orbit84

bkolobara No problem ? I'll try to update the wallet in the night

Wow great, the thread's gonna look better now, thanks!

Hi Alexis,

I have just visited your website BW, it looks very promising, congratulations for the work done so far !
You have focused on portfolio security and data retention and I like it, everyone is concerned about it today...
At the level of the presentation of the website I like the mix of colors, have you thought to imagine a small logo for your wallet ? :-)

I'm looking forward to seeing more !

orbit84

Globulebobiwan Hey, there will be a "huge" design update soon ? and yay - a logo is planned! Stay tunned ?

Hotfix was deployed! The wallet's bug with the mobile mode is now fixed!

I got a chance to test the BlackWallet today on a Linux mint desktop running from a Firefox browser. As far as looks and user interface I find it very intuitive and easy to learn to use and just dam pretty to look at. I too prefer not having to login to use an account and locked login is cool too with option to logout. This also makes for easy import and export of keys to and from this web app. Also nice is the support of multiple accounts.

But on the negative side, it seems to have no support for other assets other than XLM. I was surprised with all the people that reviewed it didn’t even note this fact. Does the mode for other assets just have to be activated?

Due to this fact of no multi asset support I guess the account that I imported when viewed that had other assets in it had unreadable results in recent transaction history and of course no way to view what asset were held within it.

At some point if multi asset support is at some point added to this web app I see it as possibly being one of my favorite stellar wallets. But until then I can’t make much use of it.

Hello, thanks for your feedback and the kind words! I'm doing my best to make blackwallet a great wallet ?

Regarding the other assets, they are not implemented directly in blackwallet atm, though they are planed and coming soon!
However, you should be able to see all your holdings by using the inspect tool (enter your own public key in it), and it should list your assets ?

Due to this fact of no multi asset support I guess the account that I imported when viewed that had other assets in it had unreadable results in recent transaction history and of course no way to view what asset were held within it.

Were the transactions not listed? or simply a "?" appearing as the asset symbol (for other assets than lumens)?

Well the project is interesting to say the least. I like the recent improvement of the landing page, haven't tested every inch of the interface but it definitively seems to be user-friendly. Security seems to be one of your priority, so thumbs up.

As for the charts, do you have any upcoming features ? I don't know if Crypto Compare as an API, maybe something to dig further.

Keep up the great work ?

Hello! Happy to hear you like the landing page!

You're right for the charts, I do not like the current look & features.
I gave a look at cryptocompare and good new, they have an API! I'll try to improve the charts page asap then ?
