What is Daxyra?

Specifications

Getting started

Option 1: the wallet app (easiest)

1. Download daxyra-wallet.exe above and open it.
2. Choose the network (currently testnet).
3. Click Create a new wallet, set a password, then write the 24 recovery words on paper. Anyone with them can spend your coins.
4. Open the Mining tab, choose the number of CPU threads and click Start mining.
5. Mined coins can be spent after 60 blocks (~30 minutes), received coins after 10 blocks (~5 minutes).

On today's test network a payment may wait instead of leaving: through Tor, the wallet sends it only to nodes it has learned of through Tor and that your computer does not reach directly, and the test network does not have enough nodes for that yet. The wallet then says so and offers to send it without Tor, but then the nodes it first reaches may see your IP address. A payment that has not left when you close the wallet is sent again the next time you open it, if that is within a day and a half of making it: through Tor, or directly if you have chosen meanwhile to send without Tor.

Option 2: command line

Rename the file to daxyra.exe, open PowerShell in its folder and run:

# create a wallet (asks for a password, prints 24 recovery words)
.\daxyra.exe new-wallet

# show your address
.\daxyra.exe address

# run a testnet node and mine on every CPU core
.\daxyra.exe --testnet node --mine (.\daxyra.exe address)

# in another window: balance, send, info
.\daxyra.exe --testnet balance
.\daxyra.exe --testnet send --to D... --amount 1.5
.\daxyra.exe --testnet info

On today's small test network, a payment sent with these steps waits until the node can reach another node through Tor, for at most a day and a half: after that it is not sent, and its coins can be spent again, so it must be made again. The wallet app offers to send such a payment without Tor, and if you start the node again with --no-tor, it sends the payment directly, but the first node that gets it then sees your IP address.

Connect to another machine

From version 0.9.0 the program finds the network through the built-in seed node, with nothing to type. With an older version, add --peer 80.78.30.183:44080. To add a machine of your own, use its IP. Open port 44080 (testnet) in your router or firewall if others should connect to you. The nodes you connect to check that port before they pass your address on: while it is closed, your IP address is neither stored nor passed on.

.\daxyra.exe --testnet node --peer <IP>:44080

Pruned node and light wallet

# on a server: a pruned node that light wallets can use
daxyra --testnet node --prune --wallet-listen 0.0.0.0:44081

# on any computer, without downloading the chain
daxyra --testnet --node <IP>:44081 balance
daxyra --testnet --node <IP>:44081 send --to D... --amount 1.5

The connection to the node goes through the Tor built into the program, so the node does not see your IP address. If your network blocks Tor, try --tor-bridges auto (it needs Tor Browser installed on the computer); --no-tor connects directly, and the node then sees your IP address. The node could still show a wrong balance (it cannot take coins), so use a node you trust, ideally your own.

A node started with --wallet-listen 0.0.0.0:44081 treats every wallet as a stranger, one on its own computer too: info there does not show its peers or its mining (the node's log does), and it passes the payments handed to it on at once, directly, not through Tor, also those from send on that server. For your own payments through Tor, use the wallet app, or a node without --wallet-listen. A node open to everyone (--wallet-listen 0.0.0.0) names a payment as pending only once the network has heard of it, so for about a minute and a half after a payment through it, the balance may still count the coins it spends; another payment of those coins is refused.
