^C while in manual refresh will cancel the refresh, since that's
often an annoying thing to have to wait for. Also, a manual refresh
command will interrupt any running background refresh and take
over, rather than wait for the background refresh to be done, and
look to be hanging.
The daemon will be polled every 90 seconds for new blocks.
It is enabled by default, and can be turned on/off with
set auto-refresh 1 and set auto-refresh 0 in the wallet.
There are various locale related bugs in various versions of boost,
where exceptions are thrown in boost::filesystem APIs when the
current locale is not to boost's liking. It's not clear what "not
to boost's liking" means in detail, though "en" and "en_US.UTF-8"
are not to its liking.
Fix it by running a test function that's known to throw in such
a case, and resetting LANG and LC_ALL to C if an exception is
thrown. In simplewallet, the locale is queried before that so the
correct translations will still be used.
Default to "simplewallet.log" in current directory when file path isn't
obtained from epee.
In this situation previously, it defaulted to the file name of ".log"
("" + ".log") in the current directory.
(Thanks to @sammy007 for reporting bug.)
An earlier version yet used "" + "/" + ".log" = "/.log", which resulted
in silently not logging in most cases, due to lack of permission.
Test:
PATH=$PATH:</path/to/simplewallet/folder> && simplewallet --wallet-file /dev/null
This results in epee not finding the executable's file path, so
simplewallet will now use a default log filename.
This obsoletes the need for a lengthy blockchain rescan when
a transaction doesn't end up in the chain after being accepted
by the daemon, or any other reason why the wallet's idea of
spent and unspent outputs gets out of sync from the blockchain's.
Pros:
- smaller on the blockchain
- shorter integrated addresses
Cons:
- less sparseness
- less ability to embed actual information
The boolean argument to encrypt payment ids is now gone from the
RPC calls, since the decision is made based on the length of the
payment id passed.
A payment ID may be encrypted using the tx secret key and the
receiver's public view key. The receiver can decrypt it with
the tx public key and the receiver's secret view key.
Using integrated addresses now cause the payment IDs to be
encrypted. Payment IDs used manually are not encrypted by default,
but can be encrypted using the new 'encrypt_payment_id' field
in the transfer and transfer_split RPC calls. It is not possible
to use an encrypted payment ID by specifying a manual simplewallet
transfer/transfer_new command, though this is just a limitation
due to input parsing.
It should avoid a lot of the issues sending more than half the
wallet's contents due to change.
Actual output selection is still random. Changing this would
improve the matching of transaction amounts to output sizes,
but may have non obvious effects on blockchain analysis.
Mapped to the new transfer_new command in simplewallet, and
transfer uses the existing algorithm.
To use in RPC, add "new_algorithm: true" in the transfer_split
JSON command. It is not used in the transfer command.
boost doesn't support %zu for size_t, and the previous change
to %u could technically lose bits (though it would require splitting
a transfer into 4 billion transactions, which seems unlikely).
The new save_watch_only saves a copy of the keys file without the
spend key. It can then be given away to be used as a normal keys
file, but with no spend ability.
Sends all the dust to your own wallet. May fail (if the fee required
is more than the dust total). May end up paying most of the dust in fees.
Unlocked dust total is now also displayed in "balance".
Replace --set_log with --log-level for consistency.
Show default log level in usage.
Add --log-file for specifying log file path.
Document log file path.
Display log file path at startup.
As with display of seed, don't log view key and spend key.
Includes:
- display of viewkey at wallet creation
- "viewkey" command output
- "spendkey" command output
simplewallet run without a wallet path argument should prompt again if
an invalid path was entered.
Validity here currently means the string isn't empty.
