4/ The DigiByte mempool stats will automatically hide if no transactions are seen for 30 seconds (useful for testnet mempool) and you have the option to disable this feature in diginode.settings if you want.

3/ Also new! DigiNode Dashboard now displays mempool stats - watch in real time as transactions get added to the mempool! The Dashboard also shows the number incoming and outgoing connections of the peers you are connected to. Shout out to Patrick Starfish who suggested both these features!

2/ The new DigiByte port tester is tightly integrated into the DigiNode Dashboard so that with the tap of a key you can instantly check that your DigiByte mainnet and/or testnet nodes are visible to the rest of the network.

DigiByte Port Tester - DigiNode Tools

1/ 📣 DigiNode Tools v0.11.1 is live! Here's what's new: DigiNode Dashboard now has a brand new #DigiByte port tester built for DigiNode Tools that can test both regular and Tor nodes. The port tester is also available for anyone to use at the link below.

Running @diginode.tools by @olly.st! Looking fantastic - its updated to v.8.22.1 and running over Tor!

5/ - Fix: ```diginode --dgbpeers``` and ```diginode --dgb2peers``` should now display the onion peers correctly.

What’s a DigiNode? A dedicated device that runs a DigiByte full node and DigiAsset Node helping to further decentralize the DigiByte ecosystem. DigiNode Tools are a suite of linux scripts that make it...

4/ - New: DigiNode has now been fully tested on the Raspberry Pi 5 8Gb with a PCIe NVME SSD. Everything works as intended. All Pi 5 models with at least 4Gb RAM are supported. 8Gb RAM or more is strongly recommended. Drop a message in the Telegram group if you see any issues: t.me/DigiNodeTools

3/ - New: Rewritten Raspberry Pi hardware checker. It should now automatically identify all Raspberry Pi hardware including the latest models of the Raspberry Pi 5 and any future models yet to be released. - New: Can now identify when DigiNode is booting off a PCIe NVME SSD on the Raspberry Pi 5.

2/ - Change: Removed all X support links as the account is no longer in use. Updates will now be shared via this Buesky account. Please follow to be kept updated!

1/ 📣 DigiNode Tools v0.10.7 is live! Here's what's new: - New: DigiNode Setup now displays the version number at launch. This should make troubleshooting easier by making it much easier to tell which version you are currently running.

DigiNode.Tools @diginode.tools · 06/02/2025

📣DigiNode Tools v0.10.4 is now available with support for DigiByte Core v8.22.1. Please update your nodes! @digibyte.org

6/ You can even switch your existing #DigiByte node to run over #Tor via the #DigiNode main menu. No need to reinstall.

Screenshot showing how to switch your existing DigiByte node to run over Tor via the DigiNode main menu.

5/ You can choose to run your #DigiByte mainnet node and/or testnet node over #Tor. You can also switch at any time.

Screenshot of DigiNode Tools showing how you can enable Tor support for your nodes.

4/ A simple way for anyone to run a #DigiByte node over #Tor is a big win for #DigiByte, improving privacy & making the network more resilient to attack. If u have ever considered donating to support my work, this would be a good time: dgb1qv8psxjeqkau5s35qwh75zy6kp95yhxxw0d3kup

3/ Making #Tor work for #DigiNode has been weeks of hard work, with plenty of late nights lying awake puzzling through how to make it happen! I am really proud of this one, but it has definitely been the biggest challenge of an update ever for DigiNode Tools.

100

2/ - Change: --dgbpeers and --dgb2peers now also displays the onion peers, if available. - Change: The flag --dgbcfg is now --dgbconf. The flag --dgntset is now --settings. This should hopefully make them easier to remember.

DigiNode.Tools @diginode.tools · 25/05/2024

1/ 📣 #DigiNode Tools v0.10.0 is now live: - New: #Tor support! - Your #DigiByte nodes can now run over the Tor network for better privacy. You can switch your DigiByte mainnet and/or testnet node to run on Tor via the main menu.

131

- Fix: Better detection in the Dashboard for when the DigiNode is offline. Note: Support for the new DigiAsset Core, which is a complete rewrite of the DigiAsset software, will be added in an upcoming release.

DigiNode.Tools @diginode.tools · 25/05/2024

📣 DigiNode Tools v0.9.13 is now available: - Change: Remove DigiAsset Node software. This is temporary. The legacy DigiAsset Node software has not been functioning correctly for some time and has therefore been retired. The release will automatically purge it from your DigiNode.

DigiNode.Tools @diginode.tools · 10/04/2024

Yes this involves an extra step, but it is rare you will see this and should make the update system more robust, and less likely for things to break between versions.

DigiNode.Tools @diginode.tools · 10/04/2024

- New: The latest version of DigiNode Tools must now be running to install any other updates. This helps to avoid any issues with significant changes between versions. DigiNode Tools updates itself first. You can then run the update again to install any additional updates.

DigiNode.Tools @diginode.tools · 10/04/2024

📣 DigiNode Tools v0.9.12 is out: - Fix: Hide download progress when checking for DigiByte update when Dashboard launches - New: Raspberry Pi detection has been updated to correctly identify newer Pi 4, CM4, Pi 400 and Pi 5 models.

DigiNode.Tools @diginode.tools · 03/04/2024

📣DigiNode Tools v0.9.11 is now available, which adds support for DigiByte Core 8.22.0 RC4. Please upgrade today!

011

DigiNode.Tools @diginode.tools · 29/03/2024

📣 DigiNode Tools v0.9.10 is now available: - Fix: Testnet peers now sort alphabetically when using --dgb2peers - Change: Uninstalling blockchain data now deletes everything except the wallet (b4 it kept banlist, mempool, peers etc.) - Change: Github repo has moved to the new DigiNode Tools org

DigiNode.Tools @diginode.tools · 06/02/2024

2/ New: Users must now agree to the software disclaimer before using DigiNode Tools. You will be asked to agree each time there is a new release. See the release notes for more: diginode.tools/release-notes/ Please donate: dgb1qv8psxjeqkau5s35qwh75zy6kp95yhxxw0d3kup

DigiNode.Tools @diginode.tools · 06/02/2024

📣 DigiNode Tools v0.9.9 is now available! 1/ Here is what has changed since v0.9.6: - New: Every install of DigiByte Core is now hash verified to make sure the install file has not been tampered with. This is in case of the unlikely scenario that a bad actor penetrated the DigiByte Core Github.

DigiNode.Tools @diginode.tools · 19/01/2024

📣 DigiNode Tools v0.9.6 is now available! This release is mainly to remove a lot of duplicate documentation from the GitHub repo as it is now available on the new website: diginode.tools It also fixes a formatting issue displaying the CPU usage in DigiNode Dashboard.

011

Lastly, the DigiNode CLI now makes it easy to view the testnet log when running a Dual Node using "diginode --dgb2log". That's all for now. More soon.

Another DigiNode improvement is that the 'Update Available' dialog now tells you what version of the software you are upgrading from AND to. (Previously it only showed what version you were upgrading to.)

100

📣 DigiNode Tools v0.9.5 is now available! This addresses a couple of bugs in v0.9.4. The most important fix is that the password boxes were not accepting inputs correctly - this has now been resolved. Also fixed is the ability to downgrade from a DigiByte pre-release back to the latest release.

4/ DigiNode Tools no longer has the ability to setup a DigiAsset Node ONLY - u need a DigiByte Node running as well. This is to prepare for a future upgrade to DigiAsset Core which requires a a DigiByte Node. DigiAsset core is being developed by @mctrivia.com Learn more: digiassetcore.digiassetx.com

3/ Your DigiNode now uses the DigiFacts JSON web service that I built in November. DigiFacts are updated once per hour to ensure the live data stays accurate. DigiByte Developers are encouraged to use the DigiFacts in their projects. Learn more:

2/ Every single menu, yes/no prompt and message box - all 196 of them - have been switched from whiptail to dialog (ncurses). It took three days of hard work to do them all, and they have gained a dash of color as a result, which hopefully also now makes the instructions easier to follow.
