Costanza Wallet for Moneysocket
----

Run it now!

A build of this wallet is hosted on the web at [socket.money/wallet](https://socket.money/wallet)

What the heck is this?
----

A wallet that is attempting to be approachable and usable, but who's purpose is still a bit utilitarian for helping out with Moneysocket development.
This wallet's purpose is not to compete with leading wallets for daily driving. Its purpose is to demonstrate new paradigm for thinking about Lightning Network wallets. Also, to facilitate development of debugging of the Moneysocket protocol as it advances.

It needs to keep a record of all things to help with debugging and also show a little bit of how the Moneysocket protocol is intended to work for end-user usability.
It is built in JavaScript to work in-browser. Though the buttons are big, intended for using on mobile touchscreens. It does not do Lightnin Network functionality itself, but rather tethers to a Moneysocket protocol provider such as the [Terminus](https://github.com/moneysocket/terminus) endpoint to obtain its balance and ability to transact with the Lightning Network.


The major feature is the ability to provide an upstream Moneysocket connection to an application, enabling the application to drive payments from this wallet. Along with that, the wallet controls the permissions for allowing or denying those automatic payments.
