Bitcoin Pro

Professional bitcoin accounts & smart contract management by Pandora Core AG, Switzerland & Dr. Maxim Orlovsky.

Application is founded on LNP/BP Core Library and allows RGB smart contracts management.

The application is not a bitcoin wallet: it does not require access to private keys or creates any signatures. All operations are saved & exported in form of PSBTs (partially-signed bitcoin transactions) and for their completion must be signed and published to bitcoin network outside of the application.

Bitcoin Pro is written exclusively in Rust language with GTK framework and natively compiles/works on Linux, MacOS (GTK is not supported on Big Sur yet; but previous versions should work fine) and (probably) Windows 10.

NB: This is an ultra-early alpha version; use it at your own risk!

Installation

Install rust language and run

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install -y cargo libssl-dev libzmq3-dev pkg-config g++ cmake libgtk-3-dev libsqlite3-dev
$ rustup update nightly
$ rustup default nightly
$ cargo install bitcoin-pro --locked
$ bitcoin-pro

Installation on Debian

If you try to build bitcoin-pro on current Debian Stable using instructions above you might encounter the following errors:
Requested 'gtk+-3.0 >= 3.24.9' but version of GTK+ is 3.24.5
or
Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.64' but version of GLib is 2.58.3

This is because bitcoin-pro requirement for those packages version is superior to the version currently shipped with Debian Stable. One way to solve this is to modify the /etc/apt/sources.list file by appending the following lines:

# Testing repository - main, contrib and non-free branches
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian testing main non-free contrib

To prevent unwanted package upgrades to testing version, you must modify /etc/apt/preferences or /etc/apt/preferences.d/preferences (or create one if none of those files exist):

Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 700

Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 650

Then you can install testing version of the packages:
sudo apt install -t testing glib-2.0 gtk+-3.0

...and resume the installation process.

Be warned that adding unstable packages to your system can, well, make your system less stable, so be careful with that.
