Vessel 0.2.7 - Windows Vulnerability Fix
This release is an update to address a security vulnerability within Electron/Windows and all Windows users are encouraged to update to 0.2.7 as soon as possible. Linux and macOS users are unaffected.
What is Vessel?
Vessel is a desktop wallet for the Steem blockchain, which can be downloaded and run on your computer. Vessel is free to use and open source, and is designed to be a way to help secure your account on the Steem blockchain. While using Vessel, your keys/password never leave the app, transactions are signed locally, and then broadcast to the network much like any other downloadable cryptocurrency wallet.
Here's a few of the other most recent updates, as well as the original announcement:
- 2017/01/15 - 0.2.6 Release
- 2017/01/12 - 0.2.5 Release
- 2017/12/09 - 0.2.0 Release
- 2017/05/20 - Original Announcement
Download Vessel
Vessel is still beta software and it's recommended that you treat it as such. Before committing irreversible actions on your account (such as large outgoing transfers), please test with smaller amounts to ensure it's working properly on your computer.
Download available on github for macOS (.dmg file), Windows (.exe file) and Linux (.snap and .deb files).

A special thanks out to @sneak for notifying me of this issue.
Love the work you doing, thanks for helping the community.
Yes thanks from me too :-)
sire this new fix is really great and Lovely, as i read here and now every thing becomes more secure and trusted,, pls i do like to make my own suggestions, is it possible the vessel compatible only for Windows, get a version for the Android users also, it do be awesome sire, vessel is easier and can be use to delegate sp and its very easy if it has an android app i think many steemians will use it as its a whole lot simpler in delegating and securing account.
this is a good effort
Thank you bug This update release is intended to address a security vulnerability within Windows and all Windows users are encouraged.
nice work to you
Nice. Really did not know this!
@jesta It seems that users in China can't use your wallet. What a pity!
In fact, I want to use.
Why not? Unable to connect to servers or unable to downoad?
The software that disconnects to the internet so often(too frequently).
Maybe disconnects to the servers, I didn't really know, I'm not good at coding(programming)
And I was a little afraid of putting my key in the box of that software.
The public RPC servers have been going through some growing pains lately, which is likely the source of the disconnects.
Thanks for your answers and your contributions to steemit, I 'll keep focusing on you. Many thanks.
Could this be what is preventing me from delegating at the moment? I get an error when I try delegating Steem.
Btw, Thanks for the awesome wallet.
The most common error I see happening with delegations is related to power downs. If you're powering down your balance, you can't delegate. But the connection issues could also be playing a part in it, if that's not the case.
Yes, that was it. I forgot I had a small power down going. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
How can we determine this in an rpc call? Hmm... I just canot help you test. I need to upgrade my machines first.
Great job, it's wonderful how you're helping this platform grow.. Keep it up.
