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 v8.0.17 core and CLI tarballs, verifies GitHub digests, creates the dinero system user, writes dinero.service, and starts the node under /var/lib/dinero.

Linux server daemon (v8.0.17)

Latest v8.0.17 server-safe dinerod — the full AssumeUTXO end-to-end campaign plus the 60000/61000 fork hardening, built without GPU libraries. This is the exact binary the DineroLabs fleet runs. Extract, verify the digest, and run under systemd.

Checksums

The v8.0.17 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-v8.0.14-macOS-arm64.tar.gz
cd dinero-operator-v8.0.14-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 v8.0.14 tag (daemon embeds 8.0.14 + commit c5f91187 + OpenSSL 3.5.6 + ngtcp2). v8.0.14 ships the full AssumeUTXO fast-sync stack on Windows: the user installer bundles the height-52287 AssumeUTXO v4 snapshot (carrying the shielded-pool state) next to the wallet, so a fresh datadir fast-syncs to height 52,287 instead of syncing from genesis. It carries the complete AssumeUTXO end-to-end campaign — snapshot bootstrap through real-spend validation and forward-connect to tip — hardened through the 60000/61000 consensus fork activations.
• Linux v8.0.14 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.
