Wallet v2.3.1-beta should be ready for download in 1-2 hours. Will post once it is uploaded. Before that these are the shots of all the stuff we newly included in this wallet version.
Do note that this is a short Beta version. If we find all is well within the first few days, we will release the final version soon enough.
Overview PageWe have changed the layout of SFRMS since the previous version making it much more easier to use and understand. Just enter an address that you would like to use, any sort of message and an alias. With SFRMS you can receive coins through SFRSend+ without giving out your address to the public. Your alias is paired with the SFR address you provided so you do not need to disclose your address. Optionally you can enter your email on which you would like to receive SFR transaction alerts. A bit like your bank account where you are notified of deposits and withdrawals.
We have removed the anonymous encrypted messaging service "POOF!" from this version because we feel it is better to have this in a mobile wallet. We will integrate POOF! in our upcoming mobile wallet along with self-destructing voice messages!
SFRSend / SFRSend+We are providing 2 types of anonymity techniques.
Have a look at this post where it is explained how these work :
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7947438 .
Do note SFRSend+ is the only anonymizing technique that allows you to receive your coins without disclosing your wallet address to the sender. Just give that person your SFRMS alias and ask him/her to use the latest wallet. It is not necessary for the sender to have an SFRMS alias.
We developed this feature keeping in mind the privacy of users and some suggestions by the community. Many would not like to disclose their SFR address since anyone can look it up on the blockchain and find all your transactions and balances. With SFRSend+, your wallet address privacy is assured.
Do note that a transaction fee of 2% is taken for every transaction. This is done to discourage the use of anon unnecessarily since these services can bloat the blockchain a bit.
Fully-Fledged trading on ExchangesWe are the first ones to make use of webkit technology in crypto-wallets. Our first features with webkit included built in IRC and exchange rates.
With Webkit, we can do amazing stuff. So now we have included fully-fledged exchanges built into the wallet. Currently we have included only Bittrex and Mintpal. We will only include those exchanges that are trading SFR. We included Mintpal because we felt Mintpal may add us soon. It is just an assumption. When other bigger exchanges add us, we will include them. There are various benefits of using in wallet trading even though you can do the same thing on a web browser. It depends from person to person. But with in built wallet trading, you do not have to deal with browser vulnerabilities or other sort of bugs. Also each webkit container is independant of itself and doesnt affect the working of other features in the wallet.
Do note that, Bittrex may lag a bit for some. It even lags for me when I personally use it on a browser. Incase you feel there is lag, just click the "Mintpal" button. Mintpal will load and then you can click back to Bittrex.
Fully-Fledged built-in Block ExplorerIt is great to have a block explorer in the wallet to quickly look up some transactions or the rich list. Others have included in a way of text-based but we are the only ones to have a full GUI based built-in block explorer. This is also much easier to use and packs more features than a Text-based explorer.
SFRBitWe would first like to give credit to VeriCoin to first implement such a useful feature. It is a necessity in the altcoin world.
SFRBit basically lets you buy goods/services on places that accept Bitcoin using your SFR. So if you don't have Bitcoins, no problem, if you have SaffronCoins, you can pay for that item.
Do note that a transaction fee of 1.5% is taken on every SFRBit transaction. The minimum BTC that you can send in 0.0005 and the max. is 0.1 BTC per transaction. Since this is a Beta wallet, we have kept these constraints. The max. amount will be increased later.
