Full Changelog: FactWallet_v4.5...FactWallet_v4.6

FactWallet v4.5

Edit: Do NOT use the FactWallet for mining. Use the CLI wallet and follow the readme instructions on the FACT0RN/FACT0RN repo.

1. We have removed functionality inherited from Bitcoin we do not use. Mostly lightning related things.
2. We have removed 2fa as an option for wallet creation as we do not have a third party to offer that service. [*]
3. The biggest improvement is that now you no longer need to wait for full blockchain blockheader verification to see your balance or send coins. Within a few minutes you will see your balance. It will show up as unverified until blockheader syncs with the blockchain, but you will be able to see it, receive and send coins. (That is, your coins are verified on the blockchain but your wallet has to verify the blockheaders indepdently)

[*] If you have created a 2fa wallet and sent coins to it. There is a way to safely move your coins out of that wallet. (See https://electrum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/2fa.html)

FactWallet_v4.4.6

The FactWallet comes in two versions for now: Linux and Windows 64-bit. As an AppImage for Linux and single executable file for windows --- the setup for windows has been included for those who want to install it.

Note: Syncing with the server will take about 75 minutes. Only headers are synced. The bottleneck is not the network, but rather compute. This will be less than a minute in a future release.

Store your passphrase safely so you may recover your wallet should you lose it.
