Bitcoin Forum

Hi,

I want developers to add a feature, actually its not feature, just simple things.
Need a column showing serial number & very important Must have the option to have GRID lines as in image.
Both in client & address book, as it is hard to look if no labels.

And since there is no grid lines, i still cannot able to count exactly how many bitcoins i took from faucet.

Please in next release add grid lines & serial no. & also another request, make to sort column wise in ascending & descending order as in windows explorer.
Thanks.

EDIT: Serial No. should start from bottom instead of top. The bottom most must be 1, instead of the way i put in pic, i put topmost as 1.
Topmost will always be 1, but every additional transaction changes all the numbers of below transaction & that will instead of use will create mess.
So, if bottom is 1, whatever transaction happens, that particular transaction serial no. will always be same.

I've opened a support issue for this at Github: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/158 (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/158)

I'd still call them feature requests :-)

Care to define "serial number"?

What Luke-Jr means, is: "You do know that serial numbers would change whenever the block chain reorganizes, don't you?"

I EDITed post.

Holy S**t, are all those .50 from the faucet? How much have you stolen?

Seriously?  You do realize the point of the faucet is to get new people started, not to give out free money?  You are stealing from people who donate to try to give bitcoin support by giving new users a couple bitcents to start off with.

He has already repented in another thread.

So he sent them back?

My bad, I only read the first half.  I really need to start reading more.

The sooner people exploit an insecure system, the sooner the people that made it will fix it. You have my gratitude, dishwara. Nothing motivates human action like losing money.

I'm sure my opinion will be immensely unpopular. :-X

I agree, as long as you return what you stole/don't do damage with the exploit.  Once you start dealing damage or stealing for the purpose of stealing instead of to show an exploit, that is wrong.

Agreed.

Windows lets you select multiple rows via CTRL+left mouseclick, same thing for a couple of them via Shift+click.

I don’t know of any way to do that, just count the highlighted rows manually.

Anonymity is inherently insecure in this regard. Are you saying we need to get rid of that?

did you create a new bitcoin wallet and transfer the amount you got to your own wallet every time?
I am curious how is the faucet going to stop these kind of 'exploit'?

I tried using tesseract OCR to convert the images into text, but it failed miserably.

wouldn't "bitcoind listtransactions" help?

the ability to sort by clicking on the heading of each column would be a nice feature

Ah, yes!  Dishwara, can you run bitcoind instead and capture the transactions to a text file?

You don't have to run bitcoind. The gui version also offers the rpc interface if you put rpcuser=xxx, rpcpassword=yyy and maybe rpcport=8332 and rpcallowip=x.y.z.* into your bitcoin.conf (on linux ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf)

I decided to do this the slow way, by using your screenshots and my own eyes...


Image 1:
   0.05 x 33 = 1.65

Image 2:
   0.05 x 6 = 0.3
   0.5 x 26 = 13

Image 3:

   0.05 x 22 = 1.1
   0.5 x 9 = 4.5

Image 4:

   0.05 x 29 = 1.45

Image 5:
   
   0.05 x 26 = 1.3
   0.5 x 5 = 2.5

Image 6:

   0.05 x 11 = 0.55
   0.5 x 20 = 10

Image 7:

   0.05 x 30 = 1.5

Image 8:

   0.05 x 4 = 0.2


1.65 + 0.3 + 13 + 1.1 + 4.5 + 1.45 + 1.3 + 2.5 + 0.55 + 10 + 1.5 + 0.2 =

38.05 BTC

Done.

Feel free to send me some of that dirty money: 1HshgkxJGoJSUojh1gGCStjh5guvaMtsN7

a serial number is not what you're asking for. what you're asking for is for each row to be labeled. get your terminology correct, okay?

Unfortunately Windows doesn't normally provide any way to export the contents of a list like that. However there are some freeware utils that can do it. One I've used in the past is SysExporter. I haven't used Windows in a few years though so I don't know if that's still around.

I think what would help more than gridlines is alternating row background colours (say white/light blue). As for serial number it sounds like he just wants each transaction numbered sequentially (first ever to/from that address is #1, then #2...) for convenient sorting (especially if you could click on the column headers to sort). Though I imagine a date would do just as well, as long as it sorted numerically (by timestamp) rather than sorting the date strings themselves as text as some silly programs do...

(Another trick to count rows is to just click the first one, then keep pressing the down arrow, counting the presses until you hit the bottom. Also useful for counting string length.)

It turns out that is actually the fastest way in this case.  :D

If you sent me more than a few cents I would have forwarded it to the faucet anyway.

Also, that figure above could be out by 0.50 or more... I'm not claiming it to be 100% accurate.
