* Package name : feather-wallet Version : 2.7.0 Upstream Contact: The Monero Project * URL : https://github.com/feather-wallet/feather * License : BSD Programming Lang: C, C++, Python 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.
