Introduction

Securechain Wallet is an update to the official Securecoin core wallet with critical fixs to potential security problems. It is compiled with the latest OpenSSL 1.0.2d 9 Jul 2015, QT 5.5 and BOOST 1.58. For your convenience, the Securechain Wallet also supports getting address/transaction details from the Securechain block explorer by simply clicking new buttons in the main window.

Current Version

The current Securechain Wallet version is 0.9.0.

Compatibility

Securechain Wallet is totally compatible with the official SecureCoin-Core wallet including all database and wallet files. They also share the same default data folder. For Windows the default folder is Windows drive(C:) -> Users -> *YourWindowsUsername*->AppData->Roaming->SecureCoin and for MAC it is $HOME/Library/Application Support/SecureCoin/ or /Users/username/Library/Application Support/SecureCoin/.

Security Improvement

As the official SecureCoin website has stopped updating by 2013, the latest official SecureCoin-Core wallet v0.8.3 was released in 2013 compiled with the old version of OpenSSL 1.0.1e 11 Feb 2013, which includes serious security holes for example Heartbleed[1]. For your coin's safety, please use or update to Securechain Wallet instead, which is built with the latest OpenSSL 1.0.2d 9 Jul 2015 to resolve the security problems.
