MultiBit Classic 0.5.18 Downloads and Verification

These historical MultiBit Classic 0.5.18 links are provided for legacy recovery. The wallet is discontinued. An archived download or a matching checksum alone does not establish that an installer is authentic or safe to run.

What a SHA-256 checksum can verify

A checksum comparison can show whether a download matches a particular reference file. It does not authenticate that reference. The values below are the hashes previously published on this site; their provenance and the archived installer files have not been independently verified in this review. Validate the source and any original signatures before using legacy software.

Archived installer links

  • On Windows (SHA-256 hash: dc0c2ef689507c57347c0cbed58ea90fe12617a6fb026b308e81ec2127531b7e)
  • On Mac OS X (SHA-256 hash: 0d2fe6fa68385c1ca964d9588272787dabffbc2061f29ebaab422317d0972257)
  • On Linux (SHA-256 hash: a067c9638edfdf39f3e9fa154b0c6d8cfb7c58c0edd95a02c0ca903160ca3aad)

Do you need to reinstall MultiBit?

Recovery depends on the backups available. A usable key export may let you proceed without reinstalling Classic. Wallet data and HD backups require compatible methods. Read the recovery tutorial or troubleshooting guide before choosing an installer. The original MultiBit project notice recommends moving keys to other wallet software.

Frequently asked questions

Does an Internet Archive link guarantee an authentic installer?

No. An archive preserves a captured file, but its presence alone does not establish the file’s authenticity. Check provenance and any original signatures.

Does a matching hash prove a download is safe?

No. It proves a match to the reference hash, so the reference must itself be trustworthy. A hash is not a security review of the software.

Can I recover without installing MultiBit again?

Sometimes. The route depends on whether you have usable exported keys, Classic wallet data or an HD backup. The recovery tutorial explains how to identify the starting point.
