You can download MAC or Windows wallet on our website: AppleByte.me



Our Launch Plan & Philosophy

Dev Team was paid in Bitcoin (funded through our Crowd Funding Campaign), not premine. You can verify that here: Indiegogo Campaign

We funded the AppleByte Foundation with a 25% Premine - Which will be used as Artist Scholarships & Awards over the next 8-10 years.
(no Air Drop to dilute the value)

We want to encourage the user community (defined as the artists & art lovers of NYC, as well as the miners) by giving them the opportunity to mine, before the whales jump in.

Therefore we are only releasing the MAC & Windows wallets at launch. The source code will not be released for 3 - 6 months, as the vast majority of the whales run linux.

We will have one official pool server.

The wallet has a built-in tab for solo & pool mining.
