I've added a video to the GitHub page and will be rolling out more shortly to walk you through the specifics. To address your core concerns:
1. Community Benefits & Accessibility
While SnapCraft is excellent, it has limitations. SnapCraft is largely restricted to specific Linux distributions. BoxWallet is built to be 'platform agnostic'—it runs on any Linux version, Mac, Windows, and even low-power hardware like a Raspberry Pi.
From a community growth perspective, BoxWallet acts as a brand ambassador. Every user who opens the app sees the PIVX branding immediately on the start screen, increasing visibility and adoption for the project beyond just the 'power users' who are comfortable with command-line tools.
2. Security & The 'Middleman' Myth
It is a common (and valid) fear that 3rd party apps act as a 'middleman' that could intercept funds. However, BoxWallet is architecturally different:
- No Interception: BoxWallet isn't 'in the middle' of your transactions. It uses PIVX's actual official Core files to perform all actions via an RPC (Remote Procedure Call) interface. Think of BoxWallet as a 'remote control' for the official PIVX engine.
- Local Control: You don't have to trust a remote server. You can run BoxWallet on a dedicated device (like a Raspberry Pi) inside your own home network, or your desktop/laptop. You then access the interface via a browser from your desktop or phone.
- Security Isolation: This setup could actually improve security for those who don't like installing software on their main desktop. The 'heavy lifting' and private keys stay on the isolated Pi/Server, while your desktop only sees the visual interface.
In short, BoxWallet gives you the choice: use it as a standard desktop app, or use it as a private, self-hosted server on your local network.
Thank you
