Pre-release

Electrum-Dime version 0.0.1.0(beta) is now available from:

https://github.com/dime-coin/electrum-dimecoin/releases/tag/ElectrumDime-0.0.1.0(beta)

Known Issues and Limitations

Beta Release: As this is a beta version, users might encounter unexpected bugs or performance issues. We encourage reporting any issues to help us improve. See our Medium article for details on participating in the bug bounty program accompanying the release of this software.

Limited ElectrumX Server Support: Currently, the number of available servers for Electrum-Dime are limited. Until more come online and become available specific to your region, performance will vary. If you are interested in setting up an ElectrumX server for self use, you can do so by visiting the ElectrumX-Dime GitHub and see the documentation for setup assistance and information.

Documentation: Comprehensive documentation is in the process of being developed but can be viewed from our Electrum-Dime documentation site.

How to Get Started

Download: Download the Electrum-Dime wallet for your operating system from the list below.

Note: Android users will need to determine which software is compatible for their device. Most users devices will be compatible with the electrum-0.0.1.0-arm64-v8a.apk, while very few will use the x86_64.apk.

Verify Integrity: Follow the GPG verification guide below to ensure the authenticity of the downloaded files.

Installation: Install Electrum-Dime on your device.

Backup Your Wallet: Secure your seed phrase and password to ensure you can recover your wallet if needed. DO NOT lose your seedphrase. Without your seedphrase, you will not be able to recover your coins in the event your device is compromised or have issues with accessing the device.

Verify Your Download with GPG: A Step-by-Step Guide

Our contributors cannot stress enough how important it is to verify any software you use before installing it. One of the most reliable methods to ensure that the files you download have not been tampered with is to use GPG (GNU Privacy Guard). This guide will walk you through verifying our Electrum-Dime files using GPG, ensuring your download is authentic and untampered.

Step 1: Install GPG

Before you can verify any files, you'll need to have GPG installed on your computer. If you don't have GPG installed, here’s how to get it:

  • Visit the official GnuPG website to download the GPG4Win package: https://gpg4win.org/download.html.
  • Click on the download link for the latest version and save the installer to your computer.
  • Run the installer and follow the prompts to complete the installation. Make sure to include the GPG command-line tools when you're asked which components to install.

Step 2: Import the Public Key

To verify the signature of a file, you first need the public key of the person who signed it. For Electrum-Dime, you’ll be using Douglas ‘@Dhop14’ Hopping’s public GPG key.

  • Open the Start menu, type cmd to search for the Command Prompt, and open it.
  • In the Command Prompt, import Doug’s public key by using the following command (ensure you’re connected to the internet):
gpg --keyserver hkp://pgp.mit.edu:80 --recv-keys A3E6459E3707BC46849AC0AA964DA787DBC83054

Note: Always ensure that you have the correct and trusted public key for verification. The public key can be obtained from the project maintainers or from a trusted key server (example provided above).

Step 3: Download the File and Its Signature

  • Scroll to the bottom of the release section,
  • Download the file you need (e.g., the Electrum-Dime installer for Windows) and its corresponding .asc signature file.

Step 4: Verify the Signature

Now that you have both the file and its signature, you can verify the signature to ensure the file's integrity and authenticity.

  • In the Command Prompt, navigate to the folder where you downloaded the file and its signature. You can use the cd command to change directories. For example, if you downloaded the files to your Downloads folder, you would use:
cd %USERPROFILE%\Downloads
  • Verify the signature by executing the following command, replacing your-file and your-file.asc with the actual names of the files you downloaded:
gpg --verify your-file.asc your-file

If the verification is successful, GPG will output a message saying the signature is good. If you see a message that the signature is not trusted or verification fails, double-check the steps or reach out for support.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

  • Signature Not Trusted: This message means that while the signature matches, your GPG installation does not trust the signer's key. This is common and doesn’t necessarily mean something is wrong, as long as the key matches what you expect.
  • Verification Failure: A failed verification could indicate the file has been tampered with or corrupted. Try re-downloading the file and its signature, then verify again.

Following these steps should help you confidently verify the integrity and authenticity of your Electrum-Dime download. If you encounter any issues or need further assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out to the development team for help.
