Status update.
Phew!
I've pretty much done everything on the client. Added icon switching functionality, Search functionality, and fixed all the bugs I could find, etc etc.
Sending JahPowerBit the finals again to look at.
As far as I know, this is the first cryptocurrency wallet with a customizable interface (yay us!)
Tell the other currencies to put that in their pipe and smoke it!
Last thing to do is include the graphical themes, which is basically just adding a new menu to the theme footer bar and a few lines to the JS (k its a bit more than that but its pretty straightforward).
Sorry guys, this turned out to be a hell of a lot more than originally anticipated but I have been working nonstop so we should have a official 1.0 for you soon!
It's been another all-nighter and my eyes are starting to burn! Time to sleep.
Night!
Great job you guys on this wallet (from the code, to the installer, to the GUI)! Looking better every day.
Jah's work on the light client layer is also very exciting to me.
Jah: on that point, Insight (
https://github.com/bitpay/insight-api) also can provide transaction data...but I'm not sure if it's at the level you need (i.e. all the required raw tx data). For example:
http://test.bitcore.io/api/txs/?block=00000000fa6cf7367e50ad14eb0ca4737131f256fc4c5841fd3c3f140140e6b6If that will work, we (i.e. the dev team, and/or members of the community) may be able to set up some insight servers we could use as Boottle light wallet hosts. This may be a good alternative to blockchain, especially if you run into throttling issues with them. Optimally it would be great to give users a choice...e.g. use blockchain, a specific insight host, a randomly chosen insight host, etc.
The thing with insight though is that it's just a wrapper around bitcoind....i.e. it doesn't have its own RPC API interface for doing things like composing and sending transactions. Would still have to use blockchain for that most likely.
