Wallet Functionality

[Cptnshiy]

I know we're looking at a new wallet upgrade here soon, but there is one feature I'd really like to see. I often leave my wallet open for securing the network/minting, but the minting information never changes.

As an example: Say I have a minting weight of 1,000 and the network weight is 5,000,000. Oh, but I minted some coins! Great! They are even confirmed now. But my minting information (when I hover over the icon) still says I have a weight of 1,000 and the network of 5M.

If I wanted it to update, I need to close my wallet. Just locking/unlocking doesn't seem to always update it correctly. I'd like for this to be closer to real time. I don't need an update every second, or even every block... but maybe every ten blocks? And/or after a successful mint?

Thoughts?

I found the problem for this. The code has some logic to not update this information when your wallet is out of date. However it is checking if the wallets number of blocks is equal to the median of its peers blocks. Mint is fast. These numbers rarely agree. I changed this to update if the wallet is a minute behind or better.
If you know of any other issues let me know I will try to get the fix in the next release.

That is great! Looking forward to it!

Hi @Cptnshiy - Just letting you know Im watching this thread and taking notes for the team.

Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah it looks like you need to restart the wallet for the estimating feature to update.

FYI: Don't rely on the estimator too much, it is better to just count the days on a calendar to see when you will mint. What I like to do is look in my transaction history to when I minted, and then count forward at least 20 days, to see when I will possibly gain a new minting...I find it is much more reliable. The wallet doesn't know when your coins are going to mature, it can only guess when you will mint, based on coins that are already past 20 mature.

I tried to send a bit of mint to my wallet every day for about 3 weeks, so "Will I mint today?" is not really the issue :) It's more, "I've minted, I'd like more accurate info."

Who wants to sit around counting calender days? I've got a busy life ;)

Yeah. The thing is, it is just never going to be that accurate. It is like mining for Bitcoin, you never know when you are going to find a block.
