Source code

$ git clone https://github.com/tecnovert/basicswap.git

Run Using Docker

Docker must be installed and started:

$ sudo systemctl status docker | grep Active

Should return a line containing active (running)

Create the images:

$ cd basicswap/docker
$ docker-compose build

Prepare the datadir: Set XMR_RPC_HOST and BASE_XMR_RPC_PORT to a public XMR node or exclude to run a local node. Set xmrrestoreheight to the current xmr chain height. Adjust --withcoins and --withoutcoins as desired, eg: --withcoins=monero,bitcoin. By default only Particl is loaded.

$ export COINDATA_PATH=/var/data/coinswaps
$ docker run --rm -e XMR_RPC_HOST="node.xmr.to" -e BASE_XMR_RPC_PORT=18081 -t --name swap_prepare -v $COINDATA_PATH:/coindata i_swapclient \
basicswap-prepare --datadir=/coindata --withcoins=monero --htmlhost="0.0.0.0" --xmrrestoreheight=2245107

Record the mnemonic from the output of the above command.

Start the container

$ export COINDATA_PATH=/var/data/coinswaps
$ docker-compose up

Open in browser: http://localhost:12700

Add a coin

$ docker-compose stop
$ export COINDATA_PATH=/var/data/coinswaps
$ docker run --rm -t --name swap_prepare -v $COINDATA_PATH:/coindata i_swapclient basicswap-prepare --datadir=/coindata --addcoin=bitcoin

You can copy an existing pruned datadir (excluding bitcoin.conf and any wallets) over to $COINDATA_PATH/bitcoin Remove any existing wallets after copying over a pruned chain or the Bitcoin daemon won't start.

Windows

Install Git:

https://gitforwindows.org/

Right click in the directory you want the source code and select 'Git Bash Here':

$ git clone https://github.com/tecnovert/basicswap.git

Setup Docker Desktop on the WSL 2 backend. docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/wsl

Launch the docker commands through a WSL terminal.

Open cmd-prompt with windows key + R -> "cmd" -> Enter

> wsl

Go to the directory containing the source code:

cd /mnt/c/tmp/basicswap/docker/

The following will set COINDATA_PATH to a directory in your windows home dir.

export COINDATA_PATH=$(wslpath "$(wslvar USERPROFILE)")/coinswaps
echo $COINDATA_PATH
/mnt/c/Users/USER/coinswaps

Continue from the Run Using Docker section.

Run Without Docker:

Ubuntu Setup:

$ apt-get install -y wget python3-pip gnupg unzip protobuf-compiler automake libtool pkg-config

OSX Setup:

Install Homebrew:

https://brew.sh/

Command Line Tools:

$ xcode-select --install

Dependencies:

$ brew install wget unzip python git protobuf gnupg automake libtool pkg-config

Basicswap:

$ export SWAP_DATADIR=/Users/$USER/coinswaps
$ mkdir -p "$SWAP_DATADIR/venv"
$ python3 -m venv "$SWAP_DATADIR/venv"
$ . $SWAP_DATADIR/venv/bin/activate && python -V
$ cd $SWAP_DATADIR
$ wget -O coincurve-anonswap.zip https://github.com/tecnovert/coincurve/archive/anonswap.zip
$ unzip coincurve-anonswap.zip
$ cd $SWAP_DATADIR/coincurve-anonswap
$ pip3 install .


$ cd $SWAP_DATADIR
$ git clone https://github.com/tecnovert/basicswap.git
$ cd $SWAP_DATADIR/basicswap
$ protoc -I=basicswap --python_out=basicswap basicswap/messages.proto
$ pip3 install .

Prepare the datadir:

XMR_RPC_HOST="node.xmr.to" BASE_XMR_RPC_PORT=18081 basicswap-prepare --datadir=$SWAP_DATADIR --withcoins=monero --xmrrestoreheight=2245107

OR using a local XMR daemon:
basicswap-prepare --datadir=$SWAP_DATADIR --withcoins=monero --xmrrestoreheight=2245107

Record the mnemonic from the output of the above command.

Start the app

$ basicswap-run --datadir=$SWAP_DATADIR

Open in browser: http://localhost:12700 It may take a few minutes to start as the coin daemons are started before the http interface.

Start after installed:

$ export SWAP_DATADIR=/Users/$USER/coinswaps
$ . $SWAP_DATADIR/venv/bin/activate && python -V
$ basicswap-run --datadir=$SWAP_DATADIR
