PrivaMesh for Windows 1.0.0
PrivaMesh for Windows 1.0.0 - the first desktop build.
Requires 64-bit Windows 10 or later. Java is bundled; nothing else to install.
Installs for the current user only and does not ask for administrator.
Which file
PrivaMesh-Setup-1.0.0.exe- the installer. Take this one.PrivaMesh-1.0.0-windows-x64-portable.zip- no installer, unpack and run.
Windows will warn you, and here is why
Running the installer raises "Windows protected your PC". This build carries no
code-signing certificate, so Windows does not recognise the publisher. It is not
a report of anything found in the file. Click "More info", then "Run anyway".
Check the file before you run it. In PowerShell, from the download folder:
Get-FileHash .\PrivaMesh-Setup-1.0.0.exe -Algorithm SHA256
It must print:
F779640D558C21E2F0D00786C05E01FC5D4557A957C9A3459ADE235B8A04F49E
If it prints anything else, delete the file. SHA256SUMS.txt below covers both
downloads.
Being told to click past a security warning without being told why is how people
learn to click past the next one. That one might matter.
The desktop pays its own way
There is no subscription on Windows and no relay in the path. The client makes
its own Solana fee wallet, you fund it, and each message pays its own network fee
- around $0.0008, so roughly 6,000 messages for $5. A phone subscription cannot
carry over: it is proven with an Apple receipt that does not exist on Windows,
and binding it to your account would undo the unlinkability the blind tokens
exist to provide.
What this build is not
Not code-signed. Not an MSI. Auto-update is a link rather than an installer: the
app checks once per launch and shows a Download button if a newer version exists.
