There are no methods to handhold you +with lousy apps and interfaces, instead, everything is available to the +user and you can utilize the full power of the command line to work with +your wallet. + +Conceptually, uwu is supposed to run securely on a Raspberry Pi Zero and +provide a serial console by utilizing Linux's USB gadget subsystem. Upon +connecting your uwu device to your computer (or maybe another device +like a mobile phone), uwu will appear as a serial console you can +connect to and issue commands. + +uwu's kernel is a minimal build of mainline Linux, with no loadable +module support. Everything that is necessary is compiled in, so there's +no filesystem latency to load modules. + +In the userspace, uwu's backend is +[Electrum](https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum). It runs as a daemon in +offline mode and the user can interface with it by using the serial +console. This means a single uwu device can have as many wallets and as +many users(!) as you want. + +As further development happens, this concept will evolve, and this +document will contain practical usage examples of uwu. Stay tuned! Building uwu
