v1.2.2
40c79fe

Installers for all three platforms, and the Android apps are back.

The node binaries are byte-identical to v1.2.1 — no consensus code changed.
You can check: bitcoind.exe is d73e1f6f12771a4d…, Linux bitcoind is
5114db61a99deb7f…, the same hashes v1.2.1 published. This release adds
packaging and ships the Android apps, which v1.2.1 was missing.

Which file do I want?

Platform Download Notes
Windows pcoin-1.2.2-win64-setup.exe Installer. Node, CLI and tray app; writes a working pcoin.conf; creates an uninstall entry.
Windows (portable) pcoin-1.2.2-win64.zip Just the binaries.
Linux (Debian/Ubuntu) pcoin-1.2.2-linux-amd64.deb sudo apt install ./pcoin-1.2.2-linux-amd64.deb. Installs pcoind and pcoin-cli, adds a systemd unit.
Linux (portable) pcoin-1.2.2-linux-x86_64.tar.gz Just the binaries.
Android — miner pcoin-1.2.2-android-miner.apk Full node, wallet and CPU mining.
Android — wallet pcoin-1.2.2-android-wallet.apk Wallet only: balance, send, receive with QR, history. Carries a full node; no mining.

Things worth knowing before you install

  • Mining is off by default on every platform. A node that mines before it
    has synced is building on a chain it has not verified. Turn it on once you
    are caught up.
  • The config file is pcoin.conf, not bitcoin.conf. The installers write
    one for you. A node handed bitcoin.conf ignores it silently.
  • The .deb installs as pcoind / pcoin-cli, not bitcoind, so it can
    never collide with Bitcoin Core. Binaries live in /opt/pcoin/bin.
  • Uninstalling never removes your wallet. Windows leaves C:\PCoin\data;
    the .deb leaves /var/lib/pcoin. Delete them yourself if you mean it.
  • These APKs are signed with the release key (2dc08424…). If you already
    run a build from this repo signed with the debug key, Android will refuse to
    install over it — you would have to uninstall first, which destroys the
    wallet in app-private storage.     Write your recovery phrase down before you
    do that.
