NEVEKO

NEVidebla-EKOnomia (invisible economy)

i2p made simple for E2EE marketplace, messaging and more

About

• send messages over the invisible internet
• vanity base32 addresses (advanced)
• automated mandatory message encipher
• self-hosted i2p marketplace
• xmr multisig / payment integration

Dev

• stack - rust (egui, rocket), lmdb, i2p, monero(rpc, daemon)
• install dependencies
  • ubuntu example: sudo apt update -y && sudo apt upgrade -y
  • sudo apt install -y libssl-dev build-essential
• git clone --recursive https://github.com/creating2morrow/neveko
• cd neveko && ./scripts/build_all_and_run.sh "-- -h"
• Example to start neveko with remote stagenet node / i2p proxy remote for development:
  • ./scripts/build_all_and_run.sh "-- --monero-location monero-x86_64-linux-gnu-v0.18.3.4 --monero-rpc-host http://127.0.0.1:18083 --monero-rpc-daemon http://xmr3kaacphwkk4z2gp35bdl47lrrnzimmyqj4oliauqrjzqecofa.b32.i2p:18081 --monero-rpc-username user --monero-rpc-cred pass --remote-node --i2p-advanced --i2p-tunnels-json /home/user/neveko/i2p-manual/config --i2p-proxy-host http://x.x.x.x:xxxx --i2p-socks-proxy-host http://x.x.x.x:xxxx"
  • the --monero-location flag is needed even when using a remote node because neveko has its own monero-wallet-rpc instance
  • remote nodes are forced over the --i2p-socks-proxy-host
• Recommended neveko-core startup with full node:
  • ./scripts/build_all_and_run.sh "-- --monero-blockchain-dir=/home/user/.bitmonero --monero-location monero-x86_64-linux-gnu-v0.18.3.4 --monero-blockchain-dir /home/user/.bitmonero"
  • monerod doesn't need to be running because neveko will start it and monero-wallet-rpc
  • gui will automatically detect monerod, rpc if neveko core is started first
• Neveko doesn't write logs to file. Use the command below to write to a log file:

    {NEVEKO_START_CMDS} > neveko.log 2>&1
  

  • just remember to put cli password in the original window, not the log file window
  • https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6674327/redirect-all-output-to-file-in-bash
• gui built with rust egui
• copy the certificates directory from j4-i2p-rs to neveko root
• see j4-i2p-rs for more information on embedded i2p
• darknet release server links are located at: http://neveko.i2p/index.txt

Contributing and Releasing

| branch |                 |tag and release|
  dev     -----------------|-------------------------------------------->
  v0.1.0  -----------tag v0.1.0 (delete branch)
  v0.2.0                   |-------------------------------------------->
  main    -------------------------------------------------------------->

• code on dev branch
• run ./scripts/fmtall.sh before committing
• pull request to dev branch
• todo => TODO(name): detailed work
• docs on all pub fn and pub struct
• merge dev to vX.X.X
• merge vX.X.X to main
• tag release v.X.X.X every friday (if stable changes)
• release binaries from the cargo-build-release workflow with notes
• create next v.X.X+1.X branch and delete old release branch
• release bug fixes as appropriate to v.X.X.X+1 branch when ready

Workflows

name	branch	purpose
cargo-build	main,dev	ensure code compilation and build success
cargo-audit	main,dev	run security audit against RustSec database
cargo-build-release	v0.*	publish production ready binaries

API

• remote/programmatic access
• secured by wallet signing
• jwt and jwp
• see curl.md

Binaries

• neveko-auth - internal auth server
• neveko-contact - internal add contacts server
• neveko-gui - primary user interface
• neveko-market - internal marketplace admin server
• neveko-message - internal message tx/read etc. server
• neveko - external primary server for contact share, payment, market, message rx etc.
• monerod - monero-wallet-rpc needs this
  • can be overriden with remote node
  • use the --remote-node flag
• monero-wallet-rpc - interface for xmr wallet ops

most of the complex logic stays in neveko-core, exported from lib.rs
