Run Dinero. Help the network.

Windows Server installer

NSIS install to C:\Program Files\Dinero-Server\. Registers dinerod as a Windows Service (auto-start, datadir under C:\ProgramData\Dinero, failure-restart policy). No Start Menu shortcuts. Wallets + chain data survive uninstall.

macOS headless daemon

Apple Silicon operator archive with dinerod, dinero-cli, and dinero-seeder. Use it for headless Mac nodes or local testing without the Qt wallet bundle.

Linux systemd installer

Ubuntu 24.04+ x86_64 install script. Downloads the v8.0.2 core and CLI tarballs, verifies GitHub digests, creates the dinero system user, writes dinero.service, and starts the node under /var/lib/dinero.

Checksums

The v8.0.5 release publishes checksum files for Windows, macOS, and Linux, while GitHub exposes per-asset digests for every artifact. Always verify your download before running.

Release notes

The first stable v8 release. On Windows, the desktop installer bundles the Qt wallet + daemon stack, and the separate Server installer registers dinerod as a real Windows Service with the VC++ runtime and the AssumeUTXO snapshot bundled (wired into dinero.conf automatically on fresh datadirs). The server daemon is verified to have no CUDA/NVRTC/OpenCL load-time imports, so it runs on GPU-less servers. Linux ships a first-class Debian .deb alongside the tarballs; macOS is signed, notarized, and stapled.

AssumeUTXO trust model complete

Fast now, prove in the background, retire the trust, go fatal if the snapshot turns out to be dishonest.

• Mode exit: once a snapshot-bootstrapped node has replay-proven all of its pre-snapshot history, that history is promoted into the chain database, the exit gate fires, and the node fully retires assumed mode (assumeutxo_active → false) — it is now a normal fully-validated node.
• Honesty enforcement: a higher-work fork below the snapshot base no longer reorgs canonical history — the node goes fatal / safe-mode instead, so a dishonest snapshot can't silently rewrite the chain.
• Spend safety: every wallet send/spend RPC surface is gated behind safe-mode while assumed history is still being proven, and P2P now backfills pre-base block bodies so the proof can complete.
• Never strands: if background validation hits an unreadable pre-base body it re-derives the canonical hash and re-requests it, with stall + no-progress watchdogs, so the lifecycle always reaches fully_validated instead of wedging.

Release blockers fixed

Two correctness bugs that had to clear before the stable gate.

• Shielded fee underpayment: default-fee wallet.shield / unshield / transfer now measure the final transaction vsize and pay the mempool floor. Previously every default-fee shielded send was silently unable to relay; responses now expose fee_autosized + vsize.
• Stateless undo integrity: utreexo / stateless nodes used to persist undo records with no spent coins, which made tips undisconnectable. Spent-coin lists are now reconstructed from chain-database rows with full fidelity and validated against every publish-invariant before reuse.
• Operator & desktop: a first-class Debian .deb is restored to the release lane; the desktop GUI now cleanly terminates its child daemon/seeder on quit, fails loud instead of hanging if the RPC port is occupied, and offers a move-to-Applications prompt when run from the DMG.

Ubuntu node quick start

curl -fsSL https://dinerolabs.org/install.sh | sudo bash
sudo systemctl status dinero --no-pager
dinero-cli -datadir=/var/lib/dinero getnetworkinfo

macOS operator quick start

tar -xzf dinero-operator-v8.0.5-macOS-arm64.tar.gz
cd dinero-operator-v8.0.5-macOS-arm64
./bin/dinerod
./bin/dinero-cli getnetworkinfo

Good to know

• Windows v8 installers are not yet Authenticode-signed — SmartScreen may warn. Verify the SHA256 above and click "More info" → "Run anyway".
• The published Windows binaries are built directly from the signed v8.0.5 tag (daemon embeds 8.0.5 + commit 72e5e2ad), and add the shielded-wallet correctness fixes (#320 / #322 / #324) on top of the consensus fixes proven in prior cuts. The server installer bundles the height-47176 AssumeUTXO snapshot.
• Linux v8.0.2 ships operator/CLI packaging — core, CLI, seeder, miner tarballs plus a Debian .deb. The desktop GUI wallet is published for macOS and Windows.
• Dynamic P2P is active in conservative slow-churn mode. It is designed to improve peer diversity gradually, not churn aggressively.
• Relay/NAT traversal is useful infrastructure, but the long-term goal is broader community-run peers and relays, not dependence on Dinero Labs bootstrap nodes.
