Notes

WalletTech relies on bytech-service to manage wallet container & rpc communication.

Release installer & packaged archived includes a ready to use bytech-service binary, which is unmodified copy BytechCoin release archive.

On first launch, WalletTech will try to detect location/path of bundled bytech-service binary, but if it's failed, you can manually set path to the bytech-service binary on the Settings screen.

If you don't trust the bundled bytech-service file, you can compare the checksum (sha256sum) against one from the official release, or simply download and use the binary from official BytechCoin release, which is available here: https://github.com/bytechcoin/bytechcoin/releases. Then, make sure to update your bytech-service path setting.
