# Bloodstone Core 0.7.7 — GitHub Release

**Tag:** `v0.7.7`  
**Source:** https://github.com/Bloodstone-Team/bloodstone (`core/`, commit `fa03c606382e9cf6b71e591998bd364d8be21b36`)  
**Qt path:** https://github.com/Bloodstone-Team/bloodstone/tree/main/core/src/qt

This is the same **v0.7.7** binary already on the portal. GitHub Releases is the trust path (antivirus / “is this real?”). Verify the **versioned** SHA256 below — not a `-latest` alias.

## Downloads

Use **GitHub Releases** first, portal as the operator mirror.

| Artifact | GitHub | Portal | SHA256 |
|----------|--------|--------|--------|

Portal `-latest` aliases (if present) are **moving pointers**. They have **no stable hash**. Always check the **versioned** file above.

## Sync / bad-diffbits

A `bad-diffbits` / incorrect-PoW reject is a **consensus or peer** issue, not something that needs an Administrator “repair” EXE. Use this **v0.7.7** binary, add a known good peer, and compare `getblockchaininfo` / `getnetworkinfo` with another node.

Optional chain snapshot (not required if you can IBD):  
https://bloodstone.rocks/downloads/bloodstone-chain-bootstrap-latest.tar.gz  
Hash the **versioned** `bloodstone-chain-bootstrap-<height>.tar.gz`, never assume `-latest` has a fixed checksum.

## Do not

- Do not use WSL for this wallet
- Do not pipe `curl | sudo` as a “sync fix”
- Do not treat admin “fix-and-launch” helpers as the primary download
