This developer release features:

  • Improved social media account verification process
  • On-boarding process improvements

NOTE: The new bitcoin wallet is stored in the browser and secured by the same key as your identity. This is a change from prior versions where we were the bitcoins were stored in a separate wallet from your identity. To migrate the bitcoins from follow the instructions here.

Known issues
These will be fixed in an upcoming release:

  • Dropbox support is temporarily disabled in this release. It will be re-enabled in a future release. #908

Windows Build

  • Previous Windows builds used an installation of Docker to execute background daemons for the Blockstack Browser, this supported the authentication, name purchasing, and bitcoin wallet features.
  • Trying to install docker and the containers automatically resulted in a lot of problems, and we believe that a native experience for Windows will provide a much better overall experience.
  • This release of the Windows installer runs natively, however, it does not support purchasing names, authenticating with applications, or using the bitcoin wallet -- this is a leaner application experience that supports creating a profile, adding social verifications, and transfering Onename addresses to the Browser identity wallet.
  • In the future, the Windows build will support all of our features, natively
  • Adventurous developers can still use the launcher script to help set up a Docker environment
  • This release is signed by "Blockstack PBC", however, please confirm that your installer's SHA256 hash is 46f5d28042efe37c783029e38da63769677d32d8a47da05008bd16f0be43bcd1
  • Future releases will be signed.

Linux/Docker Script

  • The Blockstack-for-Linux.sh script can be used to start a Blockstack Browser daemon on Linux and other environments supporting Docker
  • Using the script requires setting up Docker beforehand
  • run ./Blockstack-for-Linux-v0.19.0.sh help for instructions on using the script

Names purchased in a pre-release version prior to v0.10.0 will need to be transferred to the production keychain location with a future tool.
