DigiAsset for Windows — v0.3.0-win.74

The install experience is now genuinely one-command and newbie-proof: a fresh Windows box goes from nothing to a running, self-healing node in minutes instead of a week, with a fast-sync that pre-loads the blockchain, a node that supervises itself, and a pool map that shows everyone.

Install / update in one line

Open PowerShell as Administrator and paste:

iwr https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chopperbriano/DigiAssetWindows/master/setup-digiasset.ps1 -OutFile "$env:TEMP\setup-digiasset.ps1" -UseBasicParsing; powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "$env:TEMP\setup-digiasset.ps1"

It asks only for your DGB payout address, then installs and configures the whole stack. Full walkthrough: NODE-SETUP.md. Running a pool? POOL-SETUP.md.

What's new since win.60

Fast-sync — skip the multi-day blockchain download

  • The installer pulls a pre-synced DigiByte blockchain and DigiAsset chain.db from a hosted snapshot and extracts them before first launch, so a new node catches up in the recent delta instead of syncing from genesis.
  • Downloads are resumable (BITS) with a live %/speed/ETA bar, and extraction shows a "heavy disk activity — not frozen" heartbeat so a huge extract never looks hung.
  • New standalone seed-digibyte.ps1 fast-syncs any DigiByte Core wallet from the same snapshot (install DigiByte, close it, run the script).

A node that stays up on its own

  • The node now launches in a visible dashboard window and is kept alive by a session-long supervisor that waits patiently for the freshly-seeded wallet to finish verifying (RPC can take a while), then restarts the node if it ever exits — with clear PID/uptime logging.
  • Fixes the Could not generate new PSP payout address CRITICAL: the config now sets the local pool's payout address, so the node no longer needs to mint one from a wallet that may not exist yet.

Installer polish

  • The install window stays open at the end (success and error) and writes logs\INSTALL-COMPLETE.txt as durable proof — no more vanishing window.
  • A prominent final reminder to create, encrypt, and back up your wallet.
  • The payout-address prompt retries on a typo instead of aborting, and guides users who don't have an address yet.
  • Maintenance no longer falsely reinstalls IPFS Desktop every 6 hours (it's a per-user app; the SYSTEM task was looking in the wrong profile).

Pool

  • The world map now shows co-located nodes (a node running on the pool box) at the pool's own location instead of leaving them off the map. (Requires the updated DigiAssetPoolServer.exe.)
