Blazecoin Wallet 2.0.8 (Windows)

Blazecoin Wallet 2.0.8 (Windows)

What changed: the Windows build of the 2.0.8 line, the same wallet code as the macOS 2.0.8 release. It still bundles Blazecoin Core 2.1.0, the post-quantum fork daemon (the fork activated at block 4,250,000 on 16 September 2026). If you are on wallet 2.0.4 or earlier, your bundled node stopped following the chain at that height; install this release.

New in this release:

• Provenance traces the whole ancestry. The wallet now starts its node with a transaction index, which the Provenance page needs to follow a coin back through transactions that are not your own. On the first launch after upgrading, the node builds the index in the background (about 15 minutes on this chain; the wallet is usable meanwhile) and Provenance shows full results once it is complete.
• Sync progress from the first minute. While the node pre-syncs and downloads headers the status bar says so, with a count, instead of sitting at "0 / 0 blocks".
• One-click "Create wallet" on the first-run screen (the command-line fallback is still shown).
• V1.5 wallet import converts the old Berkeley DB file directly, including files written by the macOS V1.5 build, and rescans from where V1.5 left off.
• Smoother animations. The Quantum Exposure atoms and the Import and Backup backgrounds are drawn as composited sprites instead of redrawing the whole screen every frame; the dashboard coins are sharp on high-DPI displays.

Install: run BlazecoinWalletV2-Setup-2.0.8.exe over an existing 2.0.x install. Settings, wallets and the data directory are kept. The installer replaces blazecoind.exe / blazecoin-cli.exe beside the wallet; close the wallet (which stops its node) before running it. Verify the download against SHA256SUMS first:

Requires Windows 10/11 x64. Unsigned build, so SmartScreen will ask once.
