Blazecoin Wallet 2.0.11 (Windows)

Blazecoin Wallet 2.0.11 (Windows)

What changed: proving that an address is yours is now one paste and one click. It still bundles Blazecoin Core 2.1.0, the post-quantum fork daemon; nothing changes on the node side.

Sign Message, in Preferences. The website's Wallet Address card asks you to sign a short challenge with the key behind your address before it will lock that address to your account (the gate for the collector rewards). Until now that meant typing an RPC command into the Console. Now:

• Open Preferences and scroll to Sign Message (the sidebar button takes you straight there).
• Paste the whole signmessage "…" "blazecoin-verify:…" line the card shows, or just the challenge text. The address and message fill in by themselves.
• Click Sign, then Copy signature, and paste it into the card.

The wallet finds which of your loaded wallets holds the address, so it works from any window. If that wallet is encrypted it asks for the passphrase in place, unlocks for 60 seconds, signs, and locks again. It checks the signature against the node before showing it. Post-quantum BQ… addresses sign too: their signature is about 5,000 characters, shown whole, and the website accepts it.

Also fixed

• Console. Wallet commands typed into the Console failed with "Wallet file not specified" whenever more than one wallet was loaded. They now go to the window's active wallet.
• Start-up crash in builds published after 30 September. A command-line tool committed on that date had been swept into the application's build and became its entry point, so any wallet published from that code crashed on launch. No released installer carried it (2.0.10 was published earlier that day), but this build has the fix.

Install: run BlazecoinWalletV2-Setup-2.0.11.exe over an existing 2.0.x install. Settings, wallets and the data directory are kept. The installer replaces blazecoind.exe and blazecoin-cli.exe with the same 2.1.0 node as before.

Requires Windows 10/11 x64. Unsigned build, so SmartScreen will ask once. The macOS build of 2.0.11 follows separately.
