Good morning guys!
Any news here?
It looks like it is getting to be time for an update.
I've been working on the GUI for the pump group. Since my last update, most of my work has been to put in an address selector when the user clicks "Find Address..." This functionality allows the selection of a specific address if the user has several. A screenshot is below.
The selector is a pop-up window that displays addresses and their balances. The user selects the address by using the check boxes on the left. When the user hits "OK", the dialog closes and the fields "Starting Balance" and "Address" are automatically filled from the selection.
This dialog is full featured, with a context menu and sorting. It may seem like overkill, but the functionality to see your addresses sorted by balance does not exist in any bitcoin client that I know of, either from the console or in the GUI. That means that this dialog will have some functionality that will be generally useful.
Also, it may seem like this small feature took an inordinate amount of time. But we should consider that ethereum launched without a GUI of any sort, and they had over $1,000,000 to work with. The reason: writing GUIs is very time intensive, especially if done correctly. I'll try to speed up, but there are few things worse than a buggy user interface. Just this address selector required 4 new source files and about 500 lines of new code. I'll make sure what I build works well, even if it takes more time than I would like.
In the meantime, we are looking at coins to pump. Please join the slack channel if you have suggestions.
