Notes

monkeyshell relies on monkey-service to manage wallet container & rpc communication.

Release installer & packaged archived includes a ready to use monkey-service binary, which is unmodified copy monkeytips release archive.

On first launch, monkeyshell will try to detect location/path of bundled monkey-service binary, but if it's failed, you can manually set path to the monkey-service binary on the Settings screen.

If you don't trust the bundled monkey-service file, you can compare the checksum (sha256sum) against one from the official release, or simply download and use the binary from official monkeytipsrelease, which is available here: https://github.com/monkeytips/monkeytips/releases. Then, make sure to update your monkey-service path setting.
