Blazecoin Wallet 2.0.9 (Windows)

Blazecoin Wallet 2.0.9 (Windows)

What changed: the desktop wallet now puts your coins on post-quantum addresses — BQ… addresses, secured by ML-DSA-44 since the post-quantum fork at block 4,250,000 — and keeps them there. It still bundles Blazecoin Core 2.1.0, the fork daemon; nothing about the node changes.

New in this release:

• Move to post-quantum. On the Quantum Exposure page every legacy address has a Move to BQ button, and Move everything to post-quantum moves the whole wallet in one go. The destination is a fresh BQ… address from the wallet itself, and the page refuses anything that is not one. A plan is sent once; if a send times out the page says its result is unknown rather than inviting a retry.
• Create a post-quantum wallet, right there. A wallet created before node 2.1.0 has no post-quantum keys and cannot make a BQ… address. The Quantum page now says so plainly and offers to create a new wallet on the spot: encrypted with your passphrase by default (an unencrypted option exists for wallets that must sign on their own), backed up to a file you choose, and its first BQ… address filled in as the destination. Nothing is sent until you press Broadcast.
• Receive on post-quantum addresses. The Receive page offers Post-quantum (BQ…) or Legacy (B…), post-quantum by default whenever the wallet can make one, and the list shows each address's type. A BQ… address can be paid by the desktop wallet 2.0.5 or later, the web wallet and the Android lite wallet 1.2.0 or later; V1.5 and older wallets cannot pay a BQ… address, so give those senders a legacy address.
• Change stays post-quantum. When you send from a wallet with post-quantum keys, the change comes back to a new BQ… address, and the review step shows where the change goes. A send that times out now says its result is unknown and asks you to check Transactions before sending again.
• Solo mining pays to BQ…. The built-in miner's automatic payout address is post-quantum when the wallet can make one.
• Clearer Quantum table. Legacy addresses are listed above post-quantum ones, wear their own amber "Legacy · unexposed" badge, and the collapsed row says how many of each it hides.
• Stricter address check. A Bitcoin "1…" address is no longer mistaken for a legacy Blazecoin address.

Install: run BlazecoinWalletV2-Setup-2.0.9.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. The macOS build of 2.0.9 follows separately.
