Question for everyone.

I am going to be making a choice about IRC. There are 2 options that I see.

#1 Remove it completely from the code. It is already disabled and will only use IRC if the users forces it with -irc=1.
#2 Or we can also keep it in there and I can add to it, so it will connect to a IRC channel and allow users to chat with each other. The wallet will not use it to look for peers though.

Do we remove and forget about IRC, or keep it and expand it's usage?

My personal opinion is to lose it. As I don't think the wallet needs the extra bloat(code wise) and it could open up an additional security concerns.

However it is probably mostly safe and could be a fun addition to have.

So I'll let you all decide. Let me know.

Thanks!

I'm for having as basic a wallet as possible. No reason to have text chat, VoIP, video chat, and all this crazy stuff wallets are trying to do nowadays. Since a lot of these high PoS coins have pretty quiet communities, I'd recommend they all band together into a single high PoS channel, say #crazysteak or #posinvestors or something.

Good feedback. I am pretty much feeling the same way.

Is there anyone that wants it? Speak now or forever hold your peace!

What about other features? Like market data, or watch only addresses, or other things. Are these something we want to try to get integrated?

I think you should disable IRC. I see it as a security hole.

Also installed 1.4.8.0. Just copied the executable and everything seems to work just fine straight away. Impressive.
One question about the change generated by S4C: does that go to the custom change address or is it still a newly generated address?

At this time it is still pulled from reserve in the wallet. I do have this on my list to look at. So it may still make it into the final 1.5 version.

Just realized I missed a commit for walletdb.cpp. Just one line but an important one.

https://github.com/Tranz5/HoboNickels/commit/e5cdb6d284fb86350f9185b3b14f79c9bc16028d

It turns on the S4C after starting up the client.

So you can re-grab the version here : https://github.com/Tranz5/HoboNickels/releases/tag/1.4.8.0 which is fixed.

Or you can just hit enable on the S4C page after it loads up and that will start it going.

Thanks!

Installed 1.5 beta 2 today. Looks good so far! (no issues).

The network tab with the block explorer is really cool. Also like the new info screens (block/node/stake). The block explorer currently supports block and txid lookup. Are there plans to enable address lookup in the future?

Stake for charity UI is another great addition. I noticed the icons for 'send' and 'charity' are the same which can be slightly confusing but no biggie. I've set it to donate 10% to F1TranzWqFGZyFeTMu6iLbtTQgdXuJPsiL this month as a way to show my appreciation and support the dev

Thanks for the feedback and donations. Not necessary at all but thank you. That wallet has S4C running for Songs for Love so that will help support them as well.

The info screens were available in 1.4 you just had to click the icons in the bottom right.

Changing the S4C icon is in the works for final 1.5.

I do have other plans for the block browser, including Address look-up. But for version 1.5 this is probably about it.

Second Beta release of 1.5 is ready.

Most of this dealt with the Block Browser. It needed a major work over.

The code has been cleaned up and is now working with both PoW and PoS. The transaction page will now allow right click into the browser.

https://github.com/Tranz5/HoboNickels/releases/tag/1.4.8.0

Please let me know if there are any issues.

Thanks!

Awesome! I'll test it this weekend

I have the first beta version for 1.5 ready. I'll put up the full change log on github in the next day or so.

https://github.com/Tranz5/HoboNickels/releases/tag/1.4.7.0

Although I have had no issues, I do highly suggest you take the time (after you shutdown the client) to backup your wallet(s).dat, blk0001.dat and database/txleveldb directories, before starting up the new client.

Please let me know if you see anything odd or have any issues.

Enjoy!

Great Job. No issues.
Thank you!

Wow much quicker start up now for QT, changing that scan size did wonders!

Yes it did help. The thing that I like the best that has changed was the locking scheme. The GUI is a lot more responsive for most operations, like rescan operations. Which also helps with things like syncing, as the core won't be waiting for the GUI.

On the surface it may see like the gui is less responsive when it comes to syncing, but that is only because the gui will be updated less often, so the time between updates is larger but the jumps in block counts will also be larger.

Anyway thanks for feedback.

thanks to all! Errors was in wallet.dat. rescan, salwagewallet and repair didn't fix it, but import/export keys solved problem

Good to hear. Honestly I am a bit confused as to what happened. You sent coins to yourself but ended up missing some other coins? And you were sure these just weren't change address.

Anyway glad you got it sorted out.

Coin control did't show part of the coins on change addresses, "getbalanse change_address" return 0
After use "repair wallet", coin control started show coins on change addresses, but i could not use these coins and after restart app, didn't show them again
