Easy Setup

The new interface enables changing basic and advanced node options with just a few clicks, including your syncmode (Archive, FullSync, or SnapSync), your node's coinbase, mining options and more.

Main Features and Updates

• Core Engine: Now operating on Bitnet Core v0.0.4b.
• GPU Miner Interface: Support for custom flags and parameters has been added.
• Settings Engine: The new settings engine translates most CLI commands into easy-to-understand GUI options.
• Bootnodes Manager: In-app control over bootnode parameters is now available.
• DBLS Support: Includes automatic bootnodes list updates. More details provided below.
• Script Improvements: Security and sophistication of most scripts have been enhanced.

Default Bootnodes List Server (DBLS)

Introducing DBLS—a groundbreaking way to manage your node's bootnodes list. With DBLS, users can now deploy their own server to define static enodes to which their local nodes will connect by default. This feature enables the creation of bootnode clusters, thereby strengthening the network's decentralization and resilience.

For Linux and MacOS Users

The GUI version for MacOS and Linux in Python is currently under active development. While our team of developers is skilled, implementing a fully-featured GUI version for these platforms is taking additional time. We are close to releasing a simplified, limited-feature version for MacOS and Linux users. Contributions to these versions are highly appreciated and guidelines for contributing can be found in the main repository of the Bitnet Desktop Node.
