Yet they can't because there are no wallet ports available for many of the most popular coins on BSD. If you're able to contribute to making ports available, that would help grow and enable the intersection of BSD and crypto communities. Obviously such efforts would provide more funding options and exposure for FreeBSD. Missing ports (among many others)... Bitcoin_Cash-BCH <-- very popular top five coin with no BSD wallet https://www.bitcoincash.org/wallets.html https://www.bitcoinabc.org/ Zcash-ZEC Bitcoin_SV-BSV Cardano-ADA Grin-GRIN Dash-DASH Beam-BEAM Maker-MKR Decred-DCR Bitcoin_Gold-BTG Dogecoin-DOGE Horizen-ZEN Ravencoin-RVN DigixDAO-DGD Augur-REP Tron-TRX EOS-EOS NEO-NEO XRP-XRP Verge-XVG etc, no particular order, lots to choose from... If you're looking for random potential ports to work on, try sorting by mktcap, price, or volume and click through to each project's homepage and repo, check news and social sites, etc... https://www.coingecko.com/ https://coinmarketcap.com/ https://cryptocurrencynews.com/ https://www.coindesk.com/ https://www.reddit.com/r/cryptocurrency/ Announcing new wallet, node, and client software ports on the respective coin's community boards may earn you some coin donations too :) Same for upstreaming patches. Some coins already have Linux wallets you can pull work from. Present (in various state of support or choice of wallet)... Cryptos: bitcoin - core, electrum ethereum - go, parity <-- more wallets could be ported https://ethereum.org/use/ https://docs.ethhub.io/using-ethereum/wallets/desktop/ litecoin monero <-- a GUI client is available if users want that https://web.getmonero.org/downloads/ namecoin qtum zetacoin Hardware wallets: keepkey ledger trezor Fun tools: QtBitcoinTrader cointop This is neither advertisement, shill, advice, correct, nor exhaustive post, so no need to go there. Keep it to porting apps for BSD users. Prune and direct replies to whatever is most suitable list.
