Getting Started

TROUBLESHOOTING:

  • IF YOUR WALLET DOES NOT SHOW A BALANCE: Go to the 'settings' tab & scroll to the bottom. There should be an area that says "Wallet creation height". Set this to zero, and rescan for transactions. Setting it to a block height prior to the transfers you are missing, should find your coins.
  • IF YOUR HASHRATE IS HOVERING AROUND 2-4 H/s: Uncheck the box next to "Background Mining (experimental)" within the Mining tab.

Linux

Download the file labeled blur-network-gui-v.0.1.8.1-linux-x86_64.tar.gz Open a terminal, navigate to the directory you downloaded the file into, extract the binaries and shell script from the archive:

cd ~/Downloads && tar xvf blur-network-gui-v0.1.8.1-linux-x86_64.tar.gz && cd blur-network-gui-v0.1.8.1-linux-x86_64

Your terminal should now be within the directory you extracted from the zip archive. To start the wallet, simply run the start-gui.sh script:

./start-gui.sh

Double click the BlurNetworkGUI-Installer.exe executable. Follow the prompts to install required libraries, and executables. The wallet will open upon completion.

How To Verify These Binaries:

Download the zip archive and the accompanying '.asc' file. If you haven't already, download and install GnuPG.

Linux
Type the following command into a terminal: gpg --keyserver sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys D5C9054050576902

Verify the downloaded file with the command: gpg --verify blur-network-gui-v0.1.8-linux-x86_64.tar.gz.asc

You should see the output:

gpg: Signature made Tue 25 Sep 2018 02:47:01 AM EDT
gpg:                using RSA key F3FEDCCFA90C568313183C33D5C9054050576902
gpg: Good signature from "Blur Network (Blur: The Private Cryptocurrency) <[email protected]>" [unknown]
gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
gpg:          There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.```

The output should say "Good Signature." The warning message is due to no trust index being assigned to the signature, simply ignore it.
