# Offline version

### 🕵️‍♂️ Offline Version (For Maximum Privacy)

For users who value **maximum privacy, security, and decentralization**, we strongly encourage using or hosting an **offline version** of the BindowsCash interface.

Running the frontend locally ensures:

* 🧠 **No external tracking scripts**
* 🌐 **No DNS or server fingerprinting**
* 🔒 **No metadata leaks**
* 🤝 **More decentralization = greater anonymity set**

***

#### 🔧 Why use the offline version?

While the hosted interface at `bindows.cash` is simple and secure, advanced users may prefer to:

* **Mix funds without touching the public frontend**
* **Avoid exposing IP addresses, browser metadata, or behaviors**
* **Increase the number of independent interfaces**, making censorship harder

More frontend copies = more robustness & privacy for all.

#### 📥 How to run GothamCash offline

You can easily run BindowsCash locally in your browser:

1. Visit the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/bindowscash/frontend)
2. Download or clone the repo:

   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/bindowscash/frontend.git
   cd frontend
   ```
3. Open `index.html` directly in your browser (double click)\
   **OR** serve locally with a simple HTTP server:

   ```bash
   npx serve .
   ```
4. Connect your wallet as usual. Everything runs 100% client-side.

#### ⚠️ Security tips

* **Verify the source code** before running it, and the **source of download**. The only official source is [https://github.com/bindowscash](https://github.com/BindowsCash). Some people may create backdoored versions, and steal your assets / drain your wallet. ⚠️
* Make sure that the **official BindowsCash contracts** are setup in the web file.
* Prefer running the dApp **airgapped**, or via **Tails OS** or **Whonix** for advanced setups.
* **Never paste notes on a shared or internet-connected machine.**
* **Use a secure no-logs VPN with kill-switch activated** to encrypt your network activity.

***

#### 🤝 Contribute

You can also **host your own public mirror** or help to translate, fork, or improve the interface:

* Every mirror increases BindowsCash’s resistance to takedown.
* Every clone helps strengthen the global anonymity set.

**Privacy isn't just a feature — it's a right.**\
**Run BindowsCash your way.**
