as a side note I'd love to start doing a writeup and I think ive said it before. meanwhile
every many function(s) I test are incomplete..
here is a list of good and bad for every tab in the wallet. a lot of this is nitpicking or general broken functionality. I know we are expecting an update in a week. I just dont think anyone aside from bitcreditscc could do a good write-up as we cant use the wallet for examples yet. I will try to interpret process flow and do a writeup but here is what i found by pressing everything in the wallet (windows 10/20/15 release v0.30.17.8-be4f2d1-dirty)
Overview tab -works fine,
- could get super fancy and denote difference from mined vs banknode payout vs bid winning
Send Recieve tab - works decent,
- imported private keys do not show up on recieve tab. On normal bitcoin client when importing a privkey it ends up on the recieve page as no label or with a label you provide.
- Is instantX on? and where did escrow check mark get inherited? Is there any extra info needed to make an instantx payment (fee wise?) or escrow (extra addresses wise?)
Messages tab - I tried sending a message out,
- nothing happened when all fields were filled in.
- does it use pubkey or scriptpubkey
Reciepts/invoices tab - crashes for me upon pressing new+
Statistics tab - works good,
- Market shows current bittrex market data with BTC USD converter (converter reading 240USD, bitfinex reading 329USD now)
- Explorer on my computer takes up to much area so it hides market and bank stats, I can not resize the wallet larger
- Market Data Some good info on the current supply, + the backed asset info along with some random data for interpreted credit scores
Bank nodes tab - works fine
- shows current count fine
- create button still shows 250,000BCR needed for banknode
Vote tab -
- this tab is very dark and hard to read.
- I added an address I vanitygen'd (externally) which is not on the blockchain 5sherpa9iLRBmVGr8x41v2vvSx6xGZYD1J I press cast vote and nothing happened to acknowledge my vote so I cant be sure it did anything. address entered does not persist through restart of wallet
Bid + Back tab - works ok, must hit update like with other tabs to get relevant information.
- if you are workign on lightweight clients perhaps we could set an auto update interval for market data, stats, bids if we dont care about resource intensity
- needs new BCR addresses to be written in and attached to block explorer
- "bid with BTC" button does nothing and i have bitcoin core installed/synced in a normal directory
- bid calculator needs to press enter to get result, maybe button or wording to remind
- redeem won bcr import of privkey button does nothing, on an unlocked wallet it should have option to add label and run the rpc command importprivkey [label]
Vanity tab - I have not had success yet
- Patterns must start with 6BCR with this in mind I have vanitygen'd a 6BCR address externally and tried the vote tab again, upon casting vote the client crashed, imported privkey/voted again crash
- wallet unlock button does not prompt for passcode, using setwalletpassphrase and trying to vanitygen within the wallet pressing start auto stops half a second later with no result for a desired 6BCR address. Since I cant test further I cant tell if hiding or showing a privkey would work or if it would import upon selection into wallet
Mining tab - works fine
- provided you have setup a mininkeys.dat in your data directory including an address you control with one 50,000BCR input or multiple addresses mining works fine
- I can not say consecutive mining works as i only have 1 banknode setup as this time, last known you have to restart the miner after mining a block and were not eligible to solve again until another block had been mined. as evidence I just setgenerate true 8, solved a block within 30 min and watched my task manager view of bitcredit go from ~75% cpu usage to less than 10%
Options tab - pops open a normal wallet options such as enabling coin control or setting up aproxy
Toolbar buttons on bottom of wallet -
connections icon
check mark for synced + height
icon for locked/unlocked
uri payment request "link" processing
sending address book
message sign and verify
encrypt wallet (needs function to unlock for staking)
backup
change passphrase
paper wallet generates a new address + privkey + pubkey that can be printed
