Hive is a user-friendly Bitcoin wallet app for OSX.
- OSX 10.7 (Lion) or newer
- Java runtime (for now - required by bitcoinj lib)
First, clone the GitHub repository:
git clone [email protected]:hivewallet/hive-osx.git
Make sure you have CocoaPods installed:
gem install cocoapods
Install the required pods:
pod install
Now, import some Hive libraries which are kept in separate repositories as submodules:
git submodule update --init --recursive
Before you build the project, you also need to install some additional libraries using homebrew:
brew install libevent openssl maven
brew link openssl --force
Then you can open the project workspace in Xcode (Hive.xcworkspace, not Hive.xcodeproj), hit the Run button and wait for it to build. Enjoy!
Hive is currently set up to use the main blockchain. If you prefer to use the testing network to avoid risking real Bitcoin while testing the app, change the line #define TESTING_NETWORK 0 in Hive-Prefix.pch to 1 and rebuild the app or launch it with the Hive (Test Network) scheme in Xcode.
Patches and pull requests are very welcome. If you want to send us any code, read the Coding guidelines first.
Hive code is dual-licensed: we've released it under GPL v2 (see below), however we reserve a right to relicense it under a different license in future (including a commercial one), since we might want to e.g. put it on Mac or iOS App Store, or use it for other purposes with which GPL is incompatible. Because of that, we ask that you specify a more permissive license for your code when you submit a patch to us (e.g. MIT, WTFPL or public domain).
If you like Hive, you can also send us donations in BTC to 142m1MpXHhymF4aASiWwYohe1Y55v5BQwc.
