v0.3.1 Pre-release
Pre-release

That minor version update with new binaries was necessary because I screwed something up with UpdateFX :-(.

To separate bitcoin networks the data are stored now in separate directories when switching the network.
Please delete the data directory to get a clean install.

There is a known issue with Linux and some IPv6 configurations causing testnet seed nodes connection problems (mainnet is ok).
That happens only if you don't run a local Bitcoin core in testnet mode.

UPDATE:
Mike Hearn suggested a quick solution for getting around the Bitcoin testnet connectivity problem:
Run the app from the console:
java -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -jar PATH_TO_JAR_FILE/1.jar
The jar file is located in the .deb file (it is an archive) under /opt/Bitsquare/app/1.jar
See the discussion for more info at: https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=de#!topic/bitcoinj/1dRPpvH0VsQ

Warning: The application is still under heavy develoment and using mainnet with real Bitcoin is not recommended!

Release notes:

  • Bootstrap to all bootstrap nodes
  • Separeate btc network by directories in data dir
  • Add support for new release download
  • Only use mailbox for certain P2P messages
  • Bootstrap node update
  • Fix bug with empty log file
  • Add warning popup when using mainnet

AUR for Arch Linux

v0.2.1 Support for trade in both directions

That release is not handled by UpdateFX. Please download and install the new binaries. You need to delete the data directory if you have used a previous version. The bootstrap nodes for previous versions are not supported anymore.

UPDATE: There is an issue with the Linux version that it cannot connect to the Bitcoin testnetwork. Mainnet is working (as well as the OSX and Windows versions). I am investigating and will release a new version as soon that is fixed. (See: #340)

UPDATE 2:
The problem also happens when using BitcoinJ wallet template.
I reported an issue on the mailinglist:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/bitcoinj/1dRPpvH0VsQ
If you start a local Bitcoin core client in testnet mode you can connect to the testnet network (via that localhost node).

You can find the data directory here:
Linux: $HOME/.local/share/Bitsquare
Mac OSX: $HOME/Library/Application Support/Bitsquare
Windows: $HOME\AppData\Roaming\Bitsquare

Release notes:

  • Support second trade variant (Offerer is Bitcoin seller)
  • Change UI for trade process to wizard style
  • Encrypt all messages sent over wire
  • Use Fiat payment method specific lock time for payout transaction to reduce bank charge back risk
  • Support changed IP address after reconnect
  • Add reserved tab in Funds screens
  • Remove open trades from withdrawal list
  • Separate DHT networks by Bitcoin networks
  • Separate GUI code to a module
  • Code signing for MAC (Apple developer certificate)
  • Interconnect bootstrap nodes on 3 servers
  • Improve network settings pane
  • Synchronizing bitcoin network not blocking startup anymore
  • Connection loss not terminating app

That version does not need a new binary installation as it comes via UpdateFX.

Added features:

  • Encryption for DHT mailbox
  • Use P2SH for MultiSig
  • Add data protection for DHT storage
  • When trader goes offline his offers get removed from the offer book and will get added again when he goes online again (app should run in background when window gets closed, but that is deactivaed at the moment)
  • Update to TomP2P Beta 6
  • Update to tag of latest BitcoinJ master (0.13.d13665c-SNAPSHOT)

v0.1.0 Pre-release
Pre-release

Hey early adopter! Thanks for taking a look at Bitsquare's very first milestone release. See the announcement blog post and list of features implemented for complete details. Check the roadmap to see where we're headed from here.

At bottom you'll find installers and executables. Just download, double-click and follow the instructions for the one matching your operating system:

  • Windows (.exe)
  • Mac OS X (.dmg)
  • Linux (.deb)

If you have Java 8u20 or better installed and prefer to work directly with an executable jar, download bitsquare-0.1.0-app.jar and run it with the following command:

$ java -jar bitsquare-0.1.0-app.jar

Most users can disregard the bitsquare-0.1.0-bootstrapNode.jar file, but if you wish to test Bitsquare locally in regtest mode you'll need to download and run this file as an executable jar as well (same instructions as above).

As mentioned in the announcement blog post, Bitsquare is alpha-quality software. It runs on the bitcoin testnet by default, and you should under no circumstances think it's safe to run on mainnet with real bitcoins. You've been warned.

For getting started you can find help in our user guide.
If you have trouble connecting to the Bitsquare network, you may need to configure manual port forwarding. If you run into other issues please let us know by creating a GitHub Issue. Thanks!

To experience trading with Bitsquare we facilitate regular Bitsquare WAN parties. These are a chance to find trading peers, get support, give feedback to the developers and exchange ideas with other contributors.
