Description : Light-weight, GUI Monero desktop wallet
Feather is a free Monero desktop wallet written in C++ with the Qt framework.
As contrasted with a typical Monero wallet, Feather does not need to have a copy
of the entire Monero blockchain installed locally, which requires a lot of space,
but rather connects to an on-line node of servers and queries their copy of
the blockchain. This makes Feather small and fast. Feather is beginner
friendly, but also caters to advanced Monero users by providing a feature set
that is on par with the official CLI. It ships with sane defaults that suit most
users, but can also be configured for high or uncommon threat models.
.
Monero (XMR) is an open-source cryptocurrency that focuses on privacy and
decentralization. It aims to improve on existing cryptocurrency design
by obscuring sender, recipient and amount of every transaction.
There currently isn't a Monero desktop wallet (GUI) packaged in Debian, althouth
there are packages for other software relating to Monero, including `monero`,
which is a CLI client and `xmrig`, which can be used for mining Monero.
I plan to maintain Feather under the Debian Cryptocoin team umbrella.
