Status Desktop - beta.3

Please note that this version is a beta meant for testing purposes by core contributors and the community. It's not meant for real use and makes no claims of security or integrity of funds or data in these builds.

macOS users: on first run, you need to right click -> open (due to new Apple requirements for notarization); if in the applications folder, then you need to manually open the folder, right click -> open

Update Instructions (IMPORTANT for users updating from alpha.5 or older)

Some things have changed in this release which require removing the data folder. You should also backup this folder if you have wallet accounts generated with it.

Make sure to back up your seed phrase before doing the following
-> To do so, go into Profile > Privacy and Security > Backup seed phrase

  • on macOS:
    • Open finder, in the menu click "Go" and select "Go To Folder..." and enter~/Library/Application Support/Status
    • Backup this folder somewhere else if you need it
    • After backup, remove the folder and copy the app from the DMG to the Applications folder
  • on Linux: Backup the ~/.config/Status directory if you need it, then delete it.
  • on Windows:
    • Press the Start button, select Run (or Windows Key + R) and type: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Status
    • Backup this folder somewhere else if you need it
