## [Horizen](https://horizen.global/) Desktop GUI Wallet binary release 0.85.1 for Mac OS Sierra/High Sierra/Mojave | ||
|
||
This is a [Horizen](https://horizen.global/) Desktop GUI Wallet binary release 0.85.1 for Mac OS. | ||
It includes [Horizen 2.0.16 binaries](https://github.com/ZencashOfficial/zen/releases/tag/v2.0.16). | ||
|
||
**This release does not support OS X 10.11 El Capitan anymore which is end of life,** | ||
**to migrate to a different wallet follow this [GUIDE](https://horizenofficial.atlassian.net/wiki/x/X4AoC).** | ||
|
||
**This wallet is targeted at advanced users who understand the implications of running a full Zen node on** | ||
**the local machine, maintaining a full local copy of the blockchain, maintaining and backing up the** | ||
**Zen nodes's `wallet.dat` file etc! The wallet is not suitable for novice crypto-currency users!** | ||
|
||
**SECURITY WARNING: Encryption of the wallet.dat file is not yet supported for Horizen. Using the wallet** | ||
**on a system infected with malware may result in wallet data/funds being stolen. The** | ||
**wallet.dat needs to be backed up regularly (not just once - e.g. after every 30-40** | ||
**outgoing transactions) and it must also be backed up after creating a new Z address.** | ||
|
||
**STABILITY WARNING: The GUI wallet is as yet considered experimental! It is known to exhibit occasional stability problems related to running a full Zen node.** | ||
**Specifically if the locally running `zend` cannot start properly due to issues with the local blockchain, the GUI cannot start either!** | ||
**Users need to be prepared to fix such problems manually as described in the [troubleshooting guide](TroubleshootingGuide.md).** | ||
**Doing so requires command line skills.** | ||
|
||
**AUTO-DEPRECATION WARNING: Wallet binary releases for Mac/Windows contain ZEN full node binaries. These have an auto-deprecation feature:** | ||
**they are considered outdated after 16 weeks and stop working. So they need to be updated to a newer version before this term expires.** | ||
**Users need to ensure they use an up-to-date version of the wallet (e.g. update the wallet every two months or so).** | ||
|
||
### Installing the Horizen Desktop GUI Wallet on Mac OS | ||
|
||
1. Download the Wallet image file | ||
[HorizenWallet-0.85.1.dmg](https://github.com/ZencashOfficial/zencash-swing-wallet-ui/releases/download/0.85.1/HorizenWallet-0.85.1.dmg). | ||
|
||
2. Security check: You may decide to run a virus scan on it before proceeding... In addition using a tool | ||
such as [http://quickhash-gui.org/](http://quickhash-gui.org/) you may calculate the its SHA256 checksum. The | ||
result should be: | ||
``` | ||
ae1f0df047695bd7f6150331f70f431bda9a1394d3da394aa6513bc14bc63a7a HorizenWallet-0.85.1.dmg | ||
``` | ||
**If the resulting checksum is not `ae1f0df047695bd7f6150331f70f431bda9a1394d3da394aa6513bc14bc63a7a` then** | ||
**something is wrong and you should discard the downloaded wallet!** | ||
|
||
3. Install the wallet like any other downloaded Mac OS application: Open the disk image `HorizenWallet-0.85.1.dmg` | ||
and copy the HorizenWallet application to the Applications folder. You can then discard the disk image. | ||
|
||
### Running the Horizen Desktop GUI Wallet on Mac OS | ||
|
||
Simply click on HorizenWallet in the Mac OS application launchpad. | ||
|

SOFTWARE. | ||
|
||
### Some known issues and limitations | ||
1. Limitation: The list of transactions does not show all outgoing ones (specifically outgoing Z address | ||
transactions). | ||
1. Limitation: if two users exchange text messages via the messaging UI TAB and one of them has a system clock, substantially running slow or fast by more than 1 minute, it is possible that this user will see text messages appearing out of order. | ||
1. Limitation: if a messaging identity has been created (happens on first click on the messaging UI tab), then replacing the `wallet.dat` or changing the node configuration between mainnet and testnet will make the identity invalid. This will result in a wallet update error. To remove the error the directory `~/.HorizenSwingWalletUI/messaging` may be manually renamed or deleted (when the wallet is stopped). **CAUTION: all messaging history will be lost in this case!** |
