DigiAsset for Windows — v0.3.0-win.60

The first release since win.42, and a big one: a true one-command install, a native Windows desktop experience, and durability fixes so a node survives the multi-day initial DigiByte sync.

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

Native GUI desktop experience

  • Installs the DigiByte Core GUI wallet, IPFS Desktop (tray icon), and the DigiAsset node dashboard — real apps in your taskbar/tray, auto-starting at logon.
  • Installs the Visual C++ x64 runtime automatically (fixes MSVCP140.dll not found).
  • Pre-approves apps in the Windows Firewall and warns about the UAC/firewall popups.
  • Points you at Sysinternals Autologon for an always-on box that comes back after a reboot.
  • A background maintenance task keeps things updated and re-checks health.

Reliability — survives the long first sync

  • The node no longer crashes with IPFS Exception: Timeout during DB bootstrap — it retries and, if IPFS still isn't reachable, syncs from scratch instead of dying.
  • The post-bootstrap wait now tolerates transient DigiByte RPC errors across the multi-day sync and stays responsive to Ctrl+C.
  • The installer waits for IPFS + DigiByte to be ready before launching the node, with a supervised, retrying launcher — no dependency race at logon.

Pool

  • The world map of nodes works: the pool geolocates each node by the IP seen at registration (via X-Forwarded-For behind the Caddy proxy). (Requires the updated DigiAssetPoolServer.exe on the pool host.)

Tooling & housekeeping

  • New update-binaries.ps1 — pull the latest exes from Releases (or deploy a local build): stop, copy, restart.
  • Repo/product renamed to DigiAsset for Windows; executables are DigiAssetWindows.exe / DigiAssetWindows-cli.exe. Upstream DigiAsset Core credit preserved.
