Tracercoin Core 0.21.5.5 — Windows x64 Installer (REAL build, pre-mainnet RC1)

Tracercoin Core 0.21.5.5 — Windows x64 Installer (REAL build, pre-mainnet RC1)

PRE-RELEASE / TESTING BUILD. This is the first real Tracercoin Windows build — it
supersedes v0.21.5.5-brandtest, which was a placeholder Litecoin build carrying only
Tracercoin art. Everything below is built from actual Tracercoin (TFX) source
(Tracerfx123/blockchain, branch feat/consensus-treasury-win64, PR #1).

What this build actually is

• Genuine rebranded binaries built from Tracercoin chain source: tracercoind.exe,
  tracercoin-cli.exe, tracercoin-tx.exe, tracercoin-wallet.exe, tracercoin-qt.exe
  (automake targets rebranded — no renamed Litecoin executables).
• Consensus 2% treasury dev fee baked in: from block height 1, every block's coinbase
  must pay the treasury (tfx1ql6qduelyr9xuz7wv0q7nt3hlr0am0ssqtss8kl) 2% of the block
  subsidy — block 1 must pay it the full, publicly disclosed 168,000,000 TFX premine — or
  the block is rejected by consensus (bad-cb-treasury). Regtest-verified end to end.
• Tracercoin consensus set: 840M supply, 400 TFX subsidy halving every 840,000 blocks,
  2.5-minute Scrypt blocks, LWMA-1 per-block difficulty, MWEB permanently disabled
  (never-activate), tfx1 bech32 addresses.

⚠️ Caveats — read before installing

• Mainnet is LIVE (launched 2026-07-28, block 1 mined). Automatic seed discovery is not
  populated yet, so to sync you MUST add the launch node as a peer — see Connect to the
  network below. Without a peer the wallet stays at 0 connections and will not sync.
• Pre-release quality: unsigned installer (no Windows code signing yet) — SmartScreen
  will warn; verify the SHA256 below instead.
• Known cosmetic issue in THIS rc1 binary: some console help lines still print
  litecoind / litecoin-cli. The full tracercoin* rebrand is merged to main and
  ships in the next build. Functionality is unaffected.

Prerequisites & install

• Windows 10/11 x64. ~500 MB free disk (fresh chain), 4 GB RAM recommended.
• No prior software needed; the installer bundles everything (Qt GUI + daemon + tools).
• Data directory: %APPDATA%\Tracercoin (does not touch any Litecoin/Bitcoin data).
• Install like a real end user: download tracercoin-0.21.5.5-win64-setup.exe, run it,
  launch Tracercoin Core from the Start Menu.
• Connect to the network: add addnode=159.65.188.80:9555 to tracercoin.conf in your
  data directory and restart, or run addnode 159.65.188.80 add in Window → Console.
  The wallet then finds peers and syncs the live chain (mainnet P2P port 9555). Full node
  build/run + peer prerequisites: github.com/Tracerfx123/blockchain (README + doc/build-prerequisites.md).
• Quick validation: Help → About shows Tracercoin Core 0.21.5.5; or run
  tracercoind.exe -regtest + tracercoin-cli.exe -regtest getblockchaininfo.

Build provenance

Cross-compiled x86_64-w64-mingw32 (mingw-w64 13-posix, depends-built Qt 5.9.8) on build
droplet tracercoin-org-mining; NSIS-packaged from share/setup.nsi. Source: PR #1 on
Tracerfx123/blockchain (consensus treasury fee + rebranded build targets + GCC13 fixes).

[DO NOT USE - pre-consensus BRANDTEST, will fork mainnet - use v0.21.5.5-rc1]

SUPERSEDED (2026-07-27): this was a placeholder Litecoin build carrying Tracercoin art only. The REAL Tracercoin build (rebranded binaries + consensus 2%-to-treasury dev fee) is published as v0.21.5.5-rc1. Do not install this brandtest build.

⚠️ BRANDTEST build — installer/workflow validation, not the real wallet yet.

This is a working NSIS Windows installer for Tracercoin Core (TFX), published to test the full download → install workflow on another device.

Prerequisites & Requirements (ship with every release)

• OS: 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 (x86-64). The installer refuses to run on 32-bit Windows.
• Download: private repo — sign into GitHub (as Tracerfx123 or a collaborator) on the test device, then download from the release page.
• First run — SmartScreen: this build is not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may show "Windows protected your PC." Click More info → Run anyway. (Signing is a later step.)
• Privileges: installs to C:\Program Files\Tracercoin — accept the Windows elevation (UAC) prompt.
• Disk: ~120 MB for the program files. A real full node also stores the blockchain (grows to several GB over time) under your profile's app-data.
• Network: outbound internet for a real node to sync peers (not needed to test the installer itself).
• No runtime dependencies: binaries are statically linked; nothing else to install.

What to test

Download → run the setup → confirm the Tracercoin (TFX) branding (window icon, wizard side-banner, header logo), the wizard flow (Welcome → Directory → Start-Menu → Install → Finish), Start-menu shortcuts, the tracercoin: URI handler, and a clean uninstall.

Important caveat

The five wallet executables inside are placeholders (stock Litecoin 0.21.5.5 binaries renamed to tracercoin-*), included only so the installer had something to package. If you launch the installed wallet it behaves like Litecoin, NOT the Tracercoin chain. Do not use it for real TFX. The real Win64 Tracercoin binaries are being cross-compiled now; when ready, the same installer script produces the genuine build and will replace this pre-release.
