Musicoin Wallet v1.0.1

Musicoin Wallet 1.0.1 supports the Musicoin hardfork scheduled for block 2,222,222. All users of previous versions are required to upgrade to this version to avoid loss of funds and transacting on an alt chain, which may have potentially harmful consequences.

Musicoin Wallet v.1.0.1 adds translation support for the following languages:

1. Chinese (Simplified and Traditional)
2. Russian
3. French
4. Dutch (Netherlands)
5. Portuguese
6. Spanish (Spain and Argentina)

In addition to this, the bootstrap sync mechanism has been reworked in order to ensure that users don't connect with peers which are running older versions, which may not be mining on the MUSIC chain.

Additional Options to wipe blockchain data from docs and an option to move the blockchain directory are also supported in this release.

Enjoy $MUSIC!

Musicoin Desktop Wallet 1.0

IMPORTANT NOTICE Musicoin Wallet 1.0.1 supports the Musicoin hardfork scheduled for block 2,222,222. Users should not download this version in order to avoid loss of funds and transacting on an alt chain, which may have potentially harmful consequences.

The new, re-imagined Musicoin Wallet for the future.

Sleek new UI:

1. An all new UI with a new quick access navbar, from where critical functionalities like signing messages, checking exchange balance, direct links to Musicoin's public forums along with an introduction section only on first start-up for guiding users new to how a wallet functions.

2. Unique profile picture assigned to each account in order to make identification easier.

3. Standalone Send Funds button so that you can send funds from any of your accoutns, with one click

4. Integrated Music Player - Access musicoin.org from within the wallet UI while it syncs and transfer coins easily, efficiently and without errors between the web and desktop wallets. You can also maximize/minimize the windows to enhance your music listening experience.

5. Clear indication when the wallet is in sync - No more worrying whether your tx made it through or not, the send funds button unlocks only when the wallet is within a few blocks of the chain

6. View your balance in btc, usd and MUSIC at the click of a button, thanks to a new clutter free design, which introduces jsut three columns showing you critical info.

7. Per account backups and import function

8. Create and import Paper wallets so that you don't lose your keys in case your disk storage and backups fail.

Reduced weight:

Improved fast sync in complaince with go-ethereum has reduced the chain size to < 10 GB

Improved synchronisation and security:

1. Previosuly, the list of bootstrap nodes was not loaded on start-up, now it does. Users on connecting to a new peer will save new bootstrap nodes in bootnodes.json automatically.

2. User also has ability to restore default smaller nodes list via menu (Advanced - Restore default nodes list)

3. In case your local time is incorrect, you would see notification, with suggestion to enable time synchronisation in your OS.

4. Displaying private keys and mnemonics don't store state providing good privacy

Host of configurable options:

1. Select go-musicoin cache size from the new navbar at the top of the screen.

2. Restore the default list of enodes, if you prefer connecting to a set of trusted peers.

3. Sign and verify messages, all from within the wallet itself.

4. Create a wallet wiht an easy to remember mnemonic or choose the standard way of using a password.

5. Display the private key at the click of a button, forget your keys no more.

6. Mandatory backups of your key are taken at startup at a directory chosen by the user, no more worrying that you don't have a backup handy.

Support for legacy operating systems:

1. Support for Windows versions older than 7 is now available at a configured legacy release branch (some features are restricted to master and won't be available on the legacy implementation)

Bug fixes

1. General bug fixes due to issues encountered in earlier versions (wallet not launching on specific OSs, import problems on legacy versions) have been solved.

2. Automated build environment at https://builder.musicoin.org to download releases directly along with SHA sums for verification.

Musicoin Desktop Wallet v0.8

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Musicoin Wallet 1.0.1 supports the Musicoin hardfork scheduled for block 2,222,222. Users should not download this version in order to avoid loss of funds and transacting on an alt chain, which may have potentially harmful consequences.

After a week of community testing and bug fixes, we finally have the new wallet upon us. Changes can be viewed over at CHANGELOG.md.

As always, Bug Reports, feature suggestions and improvements can always be opened as a GitHub issue and we shall look into it. Enjoy $MUSIC!

Windows 64 build: http://hda.me/Musicoin-Wallet.zip
(contains build for XP, Win7 and Win10 for compatibility)

sha256sum for Windows: 9e70c4b21bb0d782b379a6661ed678f56bb5ba9e6b7507a493afa0a3958b7e6b

Commonly faced issues on nix-like systems:

1. Permissions: Run sudo chown -R <user> Musicoin-wallet-osx-x64/ before trying to open the wallet (here on unix) if you're not able to start up properly. Without this, you would get a blank screen.
2. Do not have any Ethereum Wallets running in the background. The Musicoin Wallet uses the same port.
3. If the wallet doesn't sync, its either a problem with the computer's clock or with permissions.

Musicoin Desktop Wallet(v0.7) with UBI

This release fixed several issues reported by community and most importantly supporting UBI with $MUSIC 2.0 client.

Several key updates:

• A single dialogue to add peers with enode infomations with preloaded peers
• Mining switch removed from confusion
• Change the UI languages by removing "Coinbase" etc.
• Bug fixes

The Wallet Rebirth

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Musicoin Wallet 1.0.1 supports the Musicoin hardfork scheduled for block 2,222,222. Users should not download this version in order to avoid loss of funds and transacting on an alt chain, which may have potentially harmful consequences.

The Musicoin Wallet (Wallet) has been revamped in its entirety, adding a host of new features.

1. A shiny new UI: The Wallet has been upgraded in order to give users the best experience possible, keeping in mind the feedback we received from the community regarding earlier versions of the wallet.

2. Improved peer discovery: One of the persistent problems with the wallet was its inability to find peers and that has now been solved with the functionality of preloading a fixes set of peers which would be loaded automatically on startup.

3. New Buttons: Now you can browse through the latest boot nodes from within the Wallet itself, by clicking the "Add Peers" Button

Upgrading

In order to upgrade to the new version of the Musicoin client, you could replace the application directory (the directory that has the executable). The chain keys are NOT contained within the folder, so there is no worry of having to worry about them getting deleted. However, you MUST backup your keys in order to prevent them from getting lost forever.

Finding Peers

Ideally, you shouldn't have issues finding peers. However, if you do encounter issues, you can still manually add them via the "Add Peers" button.

Bugs and reports

Any non-security related bugs may be opened as a GitHub issue or may be emailed to team@musicoin.org. In case of security related bugs, please contact isaac@musicoin.org or varunram@musicoin.org with a short description of the same.
