Title: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: tacotime on April 29, 2014, 08:04:11 PM othe from VertCoin has expressed interest in creating an open source Python GUI frontend for ByteCoin/Monero that connects to the wallet RPC server.
This is a thread to provide a bounty for this project.

I'm trying to make the c++ unmanaged deamon code available to dllimport those functions from within a sweet GUI C# WPF wallet. No RPC or json, just nativly using the cryptocode directly to access other p2p nodes. It would still be compilable for linux using mono, but i don't know about mac. Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: BitKoot on May 10, 2014, 03:39:14 PM I don't know if (part of) the bounty is open for everyone, but I have created a .NET based wallet. I started trying to use the RPC API of the daemon and simplewallet, but there are some large gaps in functionality covered by the API functions.
That is why I have create a wrapper around bitmonerod.exe and simplewallet.exe (filenames configurable in config file). It works by launching the simplewallet and daemon in the background and reading output and writing output to those processes. It should be relativly save, because it uses the widly used standard simplewallet and daemon. It's targeted at windows, although it might be possible to port to Mono.NET (I have no experience with that). It should work with any of the bytecoin forks, but I have tested it with Monero. Downloads The source can be found here: https://github.com/BitKoot/CryptoNoteWallet (https://github.com/BitKoot/CryptoNoteWallet) Windows binaries: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6522303/CryptoNoteWallet_latest.zip (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6522303/CryptoNoteWallet_latest.zip) Features - Open wallets with *.bin or *.wallet extension (configurable in config file) - Create new wallets - Backup wallet on launch - Show balance (locked and unlocked), refreshed every 10 second (configurable in config file) - Show wallet address - Copy wallet address to clipboard - Transfer coins - Show logging from wallet and daemon - Saved wallet and daemon on exit Usage - You will need to have .net 4.5 installed. - BE CAREFUL! This is new software, and not widly tested. - Place the compiled or downloaded files in the same folder as your wallet. - Open CryptoNoteWallet.exe. - Select your wallet and click 'open', or create a new wallet by clicking 'new'. - Wait for the status (in the lower left corner) to say 'Ready' and view your address and balance and transfer money. - When you sent money, it is best to wait a while to make sure the transaction is propagated through the network. You are safe once the 'unconfirmed' and 'total' balance are equal again. - When you want to exit, give the program some time to start properly first (until the status is 'Ready') that way everything will exit in a clean way when the program is closed. Things which could be added in the feature: - Show number of connected peers in taskbar - Show list of past transactions - Handle daemon with more grace (it tends to hang when you try to exit right after the application starts).

I do not use Windows, so I cannot check, but hopefully you'll get feedback pretty soon.
Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: smooth on May 10, 2014, 07:14:55 PM I don't use Windows either, but from your screen shots and write up I am impressed with your work. I am definitely looking forward to hearing feedback from eh Windows users.
Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: Keyboard-Mash on May 10, 2014, 07:17:04 PM Awesome creation man!
I've put it to use in Windows 7 64 bit. Easy to use so far. So far I've tested: 1. Wallet Creation - Works just fine, pre-existing blockchain used 2. Wallet Import - I can't use my original wallet, just the one that's created with this GUI 3. Copy to clipboard - works great Next: I tested sending 4. Sending from original wallet daemon to your GUI on 2 different computers, successfully transfered .25 MRO from original daemon to GUI wallet, and then successfully transferred .24 MRO back to my daemon wallet. Sidenote: I had to delete the spaces introduced into the addresses because of posting it on btctalk. It copies no problem from a txt file to your GUI, but copying and pasting from btctalk I had to delete the space. Is there any way to get around this? Everything seems to be working great and displaying well on the functionality end, but is there any way to break up the "unconfirmed" and the actual amount, so that they can all be about the same font size? 5. New user experience: I deleted all of my existing Monero files and redownloaded the OP daemon files, and your GUI. I placed them in the same folder and successfully created a new wallet, and it's now updating the blockchain from day one. I closed it once so far and it successfully saved the p2pstate, blockchain and poolstate binaries. I reopened it and will now wait for it to sync before testing a gui to gui transfer. Was there any reason you decided to display the wallet log from bottom down, and the daemon log from top down? Is there any way to make the log files copypasteable right in the GUI with just the mouse? This is great!

I am definitely looking forward to hearing feedback from eh Windows users. will test it in a few hours! edit: downloaded it, every time i have this bug: Quote Probleemhandtekening: Gebeurtenisnaam van probleem: CLR20r3 Probleemhandtekening 01: cryptonotewallet.exe Probleemhandtekening 02: 0.1.0.0 Probleemhandtekening 03: 536e3f07 Probleemhandtekening 04: System Probleemhandtekening 05: 4.0.30319.18034 Probleemhandtekening 06: 50b5ad7f Probleemhandtekening 07: 3fe4 Probleemhandtekening 08: 3b8 Probleemhandtekening 09: System.ComponentModel.Win32 Versie van besturingssysteem: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.48 Landinstelling-id: 2067 Aanvullende informatie 1: 0a9e Aanvullende informatie 2: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789 Aanvullende informatie 3: 0a9e Aanvullende informatie 4: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789 Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: Keyboard-Mash on May 10, 2014, 09:32:44 PM Cross-posting feedback . . .
I tested it. It seems to be working. It needs bitmonerod.exe and simplewallet.exe at the same folder as the GUI wallet or it crashes. If clause should be added to check if the executables are there and inform the user instead of crashing. I think an "Advanced" tab should be added where you can send your own commands to the wallet and the daemon, because in the current version you can't tell the daemon to start mining. There could be a checkbox in the "wallet log" and "miner log" to make the wallet and bitmonerod windows visible instead of adding "advanced" tab or if advanced tab is added those options should be there also (message in red for the user not to close them if they are visible). Nice! I'll crosspost the feedback in the GUI thread. I agree that it would be nice to have a check that all the executables are present instead of crashing, as I ran into the same issue when I left the config file out (to which I would suggest creating a standard config file in the same directory if it's not present). I wanted to try it on a different version of windows. I don't have 8, but do have vista. Also, would this work with 32 bit? I can try it on that as well. I'm about done doing what I can think of as far as usage goes, so I'll be moving onto the 3 other installs (if possible) then. I think an "Advanced" tab should be added where you can send your own commands to the wallet and the daemon, because in the current version you can't tell the daemon to start mining. Advanced commands are good but there should be a simple check box to turn on and off mining, maybe with a setting for number of threads. Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: tacotime on May 10, 2014, 09:42:23 PM ... Hi, The software looks extremely nice, however to give full bounty I would really appreciate it being able to be built on fully open source platforms. Could you try to provide compilation instructions for Linux with mono.NET? Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: Keyboard-Mash on May 10, 2014, 10:37:53 PM Update on usage:
I have managed to sync the entire blockchain from scratch, but my daemon log has stopped showing updates. Last height it reported was 25836, but my wallet reports the correct height at this time. Closing the wallet and re-opening it causes the log to display again. The lack of green, yellow, red, blue, grey and white colored messages is something that I was getting accustomed to . . but with the bugs that are persistent (edit: the ones that they are working on debugging in source, not your program) maybe it's best that the colors aren't used for end-users? Someone should make a decision here, because I don't know . . just pointing that out. GUI to GUI transfer works. Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: mozurt on May 11, 2014, 06:51:37 AM what gui works for windows 32bit ?
Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: BitKoot on May 11, 2014, 07:54:13 AM Thanks for all the feedback! I will try to incorporate as much as spare time allows :)
I had to delete the spaces introduced into the addresses because of posting it on btctalk. It copies no problem from a txt file to your GUI, but copying and pasting from btctalk I had to delete the space. Is there any way to get around this? Everything seems to be working great and displaying well on the functionality end, but is there any way to break up the "unconfirmed" and the actual amount, so that they can all be about the same font size? - I will add a cleanup function which will strip all whitespaces from the address when pasted in to the send address field. - I made the 'unconfirmed' text small on purpose. I did it to make clear the balance is what you can actually spend. Unconfirmed is what will be spendable in the near future. If more people find this illogical I can change it. I don't use Windows either, but from your screen shots and write up I am impressed with your work.

The application needs 4.5. What windows version are you running? Can you check if you right click one of the files (executables and *.dlls) and click 'properties' if the dialog that appears says anything about blocked files? I tested it. It seems to be working. It needs bitmonerod.exe and simplewallet.exe at the same folder as the GUI wallet or it crashes.

I also plan on adding mining support soon. It shouldn't be to hard. Advanced commands are a good idea, but lets focus on the general commands first ;). I think 32 bit should also work, but I don't have a 32 bit windows here to test it. The software looks extremely nice, however to give full bounty I would really appreciate it being able to be built on fully open source platforms. Could you try to provide compilation instructions for Linux with mono.NET? I agree the full bounty needs cross-patform support, that's why I included 'part of' ;). I can try, but I have 0 experience with developing for mono.NET. I suspect I might have used some parts of the .NET framework which are not available in mono (starting a commandline process will probably not work in the same way for example). I have managed to sync the entire blockchain from scratch, but my daemon log has stopped showing updates. Last height it reported was 25836, but my wallet reports the correct height at this time. Closing the wallet and re-opening it causes the log to display again. GUI to GUI transfer works. I have also noticed the daemon log stops updating sometimes (although it keeps function fine in the background). I hope I can find the source of this problem. what gui works for windows 32bit ? This one should work on 32bit as well. Can you test this? New version Source has been updated on GitHub Binaries: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6522303/CryptoNoteWallet_latest.zip (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6522303/CryptoNoteWallet_latest.zip) The following changes have been made: - The application no longer crashes when the executables of the wallet and/or daemon are not found (it displays a helpful message). - Text in the log windows is now selectable and can be copied (using ctrl+c).

We first need to find out if the .NET features I used are even available in Mono (I'm most worried about WPF, Processes and async/await). Another minor update: I think I managed to fix the problem where the daemon log window would sometimes stop updating. The wallet now 'pings' the daemon every second by sending an enter.

http://www.mono-project.com/WPF Quote At this point, no group in the Mono project has plans to implement Windows Presentation Foundation APIs as part of the project. The only real solution would be to either use one of the two largest platform independent GUI frameworks -> Qt or GTK+ Else you will need to write a wallet for Mac in Cocoa and then still Qt for linux or so lol I know this because i was looking into writing a GUI as well, started with porting the c++/clr to be called from managed code, also fun. But it needs to be platform independent, there is a reason all those other wallets are build on Qt :) Or use mono and GTK#, a variant of GTK+ http://www.mono-project.com/GtkSharp ... and silverlight is kinda death, as you know ... else moonlight would be nice ;) Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: BitKoot on May 13, 2014, 07:21:10 PM Mono doesn't port WPF to other platforms. http://www.mono-project.com/WPF The only real solution would be to either use one of the two largest platform independent GUI frameworks -> Qt or GTK+ Hmm, was afraid so.

Great work. The solo mining phase is about to come to an end because the two pool implementations are almost done. So you will want to be able to command simpleminer, not just the daemon. Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: smooth on May 14, 2014, 01:41:39 AM Great work. The solo mining phase is about to come to an end because the two pool implementations are almost done. So you will want to be able to command simpleminer, not just the daemon. I disagree (maybe -- you might be suggesting to add simpleminer, and I agree with that). Solo mining is fun (think lottery) and helps the network (a lot -- pools are quite risky). Historically the main reason solo mining was removed from the bitcoin GUI was not that solo mining was hard, it was that CPU mining wasn't competitive with GPU mining. As long as CPU mining is competitive there should be still be an option in the GUI, although I'd include a pool mining option as well. A nice feature of both would be the ability to choose threads (with detection of maximum number). A small number of threads is good for background mining while you are otherwise using the computer, or reducing heat.

I liked compiling several Qt wallets and i had some nice chatting with other developers, one of them was rat4 of blackcoin who surprised me helping me with cygwin.

I've been reading some old threads about bitcoin and one of the fundamental criticism was the fact it wasnt userfriendly at all : adress easy to use beautiful and clean software (i suggest you inspire yourself from the theme of exchange.to : its clean and simple) integrate every security step that the user has to make to secure his coins within the wallet (many people lost their BTC because of it) a way to send messages So much work need to be done, we need more people like you who thinks long term.

Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: BitKoot on May 19, 2014, 06:51:39 PM I have added simpleminer support.
You can now launch simpleminer instances from the 'Mining' tab: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6522303/wallet_mining.png Features: - A list of currently available pools (you can enter a custom address if the pool of your choice is not listed). - Enters your address as default pool login - Default password (does not seem to be used in any of the pools) - By default automaticly sets the number of mining thread to the number of logical cores - You can choose to show or hide the miner windows Download: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6522303/CryptoNoteWallet_latest.zip (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6522303/CryptoNoteWallet_latest.zip) Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: SolarFox on May 19, 2014, 10:18:25 PM Is it possible to mine direct to Poloniex deposit addres?
Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: surfer43 on May 19, 2014, 10:37:54 PM Is it possible to mine direct to Poloniex deposit addres? not AFAIK. You have to send the transaction with your account's Payment ID because all deposits go to one address. Maybe you could mine the block with a Payment ID in the generation transaction? Or the GUI could automatically send a transaction after your MRO is unlocked. But then, what's the point? Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: rhkazani1 on May 19, 2014, 11:03:07 PM I don't know if (part of) the bounty is open for everyone, but I have created a .NET based wallet. I started trying to use the RPC API of the daemon and simplewallet, but there are some large gaps in functionality covered by the API functions. That is why I have create a wrapper around bitmonerod.exe and simplewallet.exe (filenames configurable in config file). It works by launching the simplewallet and daemon in the background and reading output and writing output to those processes. It should be relativly save, because it uses the widly used standard simplewallet and daemon. It's targeted at windows, although it might be possible to port to Mono.NET (I have no experience with that). It should work with any of the bytecoin forks, but I have tested it with Monero. Downloads The source can be found here: https://github.com/BitKoot/CryptoNoteWallet (https://github.com/BitKoot/CryptoNoteWallet) Windows binaries: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6522303/CryptoNoteWallet_latest.zip (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6522303/CryptoNoteWallet_latest.zip) Features - Open wallets with *.bin or *.wallet extension (configurable in config file) - Create new wallets - Backup wallet on launch - Show balance (locked and unlocked), refreshed every 10 second (configurable in config file) - Show wallet address - Copy wallet address to clipboard - Transfer coins - Show logging from wallet and daemon - Saved wallet and daemon on exit Usage - You will need to have .net 4.5 installed. - BE CAREFUL! This is new software, and not widly tested. - Place the compiled or downloaded files in the same folder as your wallet. - Open CryptoNoteWallet.exe. - Select your wallet and click 'open', or create a new wallet by clicking 'new'. - Wait for the status (in the lower left corner) to say 'Ready' and view your address and balance and transfer money. - When you sent money, it is best to wait a while to make sure the transaction is propagated through the network. You are safe once the 'unconfirmed' and 'total' balance are equal again. - When you want to exit, give the program some time to start properly first (until the status is 'Ready') that way everything will exit in a clean way when the program is closed. Things which could be added in the feature: - Show number of connected peers in taskbar - Show list of past transactions - Handle daemon with more grace (it tends to hang when you try to exit right after the application starts).

I must sadly say the linux/mac implementation will not come from me in the near future. I have put considarable effort in porting my .NET wallet to use GTK#. I got the program running on Ubuntu, but developping the GUI for GTK# (using monodevelop) was so clunky (crashes of the IDE, combined with corruption of the designer files) I decided to put my plans to port the program to mono/gtk# on hold for now. The core of my implementation can run on mono without any modification. If someone would like to implement a different GUI which runs on linux and/or mac, I will be happy to assist.

Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: shekelsteingoyberg2 on May 21, 2014, 10:14:21 PM I have a C# RPC client in the works, GUI and function should be similar to Electrum bitcoin wallet when finished.
The RPC API isn't featured enough to perform necessary tasks (like creating a wallet), so the wallets that do that now are built into the RPC server program. It is an inferior design to keep them coupled, instead if/when a more full-featured RPC API is available there could be a ton of feature-full wallets for CryptoNote coins. I could continue and add basic functionality like sending coins and retrieving the balance, but it won't be useful over the internet (like a lite-wallet), and you may have to use the RPC server applications for some functionality. I don't intend to build the wallet into the server application like an existing solution would do. I will use the RPC .NET library for RPC communication, and the forms app has the usual bells and whistles like minimize to tray and application settings. But I don't see much incentive to continue work on the wallet with current RPC functionality if I can't, for instance, retrieve the user's wallet address with RPC. http://i61.tinypic.com/2w2g5rp.jpg http://www.filedropper.com/rpjson BCN: 22efS6jvqBVdYTW3Za11QjJs9cPGVj42zUkqAxJyQZ5TBMxNDw2bJWpNHNVFn68xgK2i6dsucXGGrMJ qatmkt5A4FreYwG1 Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: human on May 22, 2014, 06:07:36 AM But I don't see much incentive to continue work on the wallet with current RPC functionality if I can't, for instance, retrieve the user's wallet address with RPC.

Good to hear the RPC API is getting more functionality, if it has enough features I can switch to using the RPC API. I have tested it already, but there is a huge faultiness which causes the RPC functions not to work while the daemon is busy, thus, the process of displaying data takes ages for a person with an unsynchronized blockchain. It may be a good idea to port your project to WinForms, as I can see that your C# programming style fits that more than WPF. I would happily maintain my own project (https://github.com/Jojatekok/monero-client) as a WPF alternative with a lot of flexibility and clean design, while you could work quicker on a cross-platform solution. Porting for me would cause a lot more hassle, because I use MVVM with bindings for displaying data on WPF windows. https://i.imgur.com/OZPiWAd.png EDIT: I would like to ask for the help of simplewallet developers! I noticed that when I use the argument '--password <key>' to forward the unlock key to the program, it simply just exits with the code of 1 whether the password is incorrect, without leaving an error message behind. It would be okay if the "normal" exit code of simplewallet would not be the same, or the wallet would print an "invalid password" error message before it terminates. And also, I would appreciate if there was an option to encrypt a wallet later than its creation.

Things which are non-functioning yet are:
Some of the tasks with top priorities include localization support: The earlier it gets added, the less work it requires to be implemented. Just to mention, the back-end already supports multiple transactions at once, and stores a list of all the transactions. I'm not planning to add support for multiple wallets running at once, as Monero provides privacy for a person with only one digital address. (So, not adding a 'Receive coins' tab is on purpose.) As for closing the client, I have added a business indicator which shows a status message of shutting down. https://i.imgur.com/OfoqsXO.png EDIT: Aaaaaand, here comes the localization support! :) https://i.imgur.com/84RnhOJ.png (It's Hungarian, like me ;)) Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: darlidada on May 30, 2014, 03:40:38 PM Wow nice to see some screenshots, keep them coming!

Will have to look into other UI's. As far as I can tell other parts of the .NET framework I used are all available in mono. Maybe I'll make an alternate UI which is compatible with mono (WinForms is supported, could be an option). Meanwhile I did another update (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6522303/CryptoNoteWallet_latest.zip): - Transactions tab implemented. - Statusbar shows number of connected peers. - Status bar show progress (text) while downloading blockchain. - Log windows properly scroll to bottom on new text. The transaction tab is very rudimentary at the moment. I plan on grouping transaction by transaction id, and offering the ability to expand them to see the individual coins send.

Although, I would not like to concentrate on the globalization yet (only setting up the system was important). I will surely notify you whether it is time to start working on translations (currently, many strings have to be added and could be changing). I already have an idea of implementing the Transactions tab like it is in Bitcoin Core, but as a student, I have to study for the last exams of the year. From Monday, I'll probably start having more free time, so I can work on Monero Client almost as much as I would like to. Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: BitKoot on May 30, 2014, 10:43:57 PM I have pushed another update (v 0.2): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6522303/CryptoNoteWallet_latest.zip (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6522303/CryptoNoteWallet_latest.zip)
New in this update: - The startup screen where the user can pick a wallet now asks for the path to the wallet files. The choosen path will be remembered. - Progress indicator when shutting down (could take a long time sometimes). - Transactions are grouped by transaction ID for a better overview. - The log windows now only show messages which are not handled by the wallet. This way you can spot more easily if something goes wrong. - Linux support - You need Mono 3.2 (sudo apt-get install mono-runtime) - As far as I can tell, that's all. You can start the application with 'mono CryptoNoteWallet.exe' - At the moment the wallet path is not saved on mono, so it is most convenient to put the CryptoNoteWallet files in the same directory as the wallet files, that way you will not have to enter the correct path each time you run the application. I am really curious to hear from Linux users who are willing to try out the application. extremepool.org:3333 needs to be updated to mro.extremepool.org:5555 Done.Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: surfer43 on May 30, 2014, 11:22:43 PM I tried it on Ubuntu.

Then bitmonerod becomes a zombie process http://pastebin.com/FKmifxY3 I can't get it to transfer MRO either, and don't know why because there isn't any output in the wallet log window. I have an idea for avoiding zombie processes, which should be implemented to both .NET projects (WinForms and WPF): There should be a Launcher application which doesn't create a window, but starts the Client (GUI). It should also read the settings of the GUI somehow, in order to get the file name of the wallet, the daemon, and the miner. After the Client exits, the Launcher should check whether those processes are still running, and if they are, it should just simply kill them. (If a crash has happened already, then it doesn't really matter whether the wallet and blockchain states are saved.) TL;DR: There should be a wrapper called 'Launcher' for the GUI which kills all the related processes if the Client crashes. EDIT: In order to implement transactions with dates visible, I would have to retrieve the information of a block height, which - with the current, process-wrapping, event-based reply system - is a lot of hassle. I would be very happy if the API evolved to a level which could be usable. (It should not return "busy" whether it hasn't yet synchronized with the network.)

Well yeah, you're right, but it could be used for prevention of bad stuff happening on PCs of non-tech-savvy people who don't know how the GUI's process wrapping works. Every application which depends on an internet connection should be handled very carefully. I have been using the concept of Launcher in EECloud (https://github.com/TeamEEDev/EECloud/), and it just worked like charm. I know that in the long term, we are all going for perfectionism, but we can never be sure whether a new daemon version released silently contains message modifications which our Clients cannot handle correctly. At the time of writing this post, I'm in the middle of creating a debug window in order to easily track and hunt down bugs, and reduce the amount of redundant calls (for example, refer to the case of trying to refresh the wallet while the daemon is busy). https://i.imgur.com/fxPT34n.png Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: GreekBitcoin on May 31, 2014, 02:02:19 PM Very nice guys.

I'm sorry to hear you are having problems with my wallet. I have test the sending and receiving of coins with my wallet with and without payment id. They both still seem to work ok.

I just noticed in my own wallet this might be wrong. I had test wallets where the amount of spend and received combined dit not add up to the actual balance. When executing the 'incoming_transfers' command at the command line, with the 'available' or 'unavailable' argument you'll see you get the transactions of type 'F' or 'T' respectivly. I don't think the types correspond to received and spend. I changed the type column to 'Availablity'.

But the incoming transaction parser should work perfectly. On a side note, I have noticed that a new cmd wallet is in the works on the base repository, ByteCoin (https://github.com/amjuarez/bytecoin/blob/baaa3484271e11398790bbf01ee4d7b19c68e3bb/src/wallet/wallet2.cpp). I hope that will fix those issues. I'm also curious about what the 1-4 digit number (some kind of index if I recall correctly - I'm writing these lines from mobile) means at the initial loading of transactions... They should obviously be changed to block heights, as they would be easier to query from the RPC API than TX IDs. As you can see, I have already reduced the amount of commands given out by the wallet, and the refreshing cycle starts only after the daemon has synchronized with the network (so it isn't busy), see the RpcInitialized event of API/ProcessManagers/DaemonManager (https://github.com/Jojatekok/monero-client/blob/master/MoneroApi.Net/ProcessManagers/DaemonManager.cs). I will be able to get transaction dates when I implement basic RPC support, which is easy to do (based on the concept of my MintPal API implementation (https://github.com/Jojatekok/MintPalApi.Net). https://github.com/Jojatekok/monero-client Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: pouyaye on June 02, 2014, 11:14:46 PM is bounty still on?
I can make a nice BCN/MRO GUI wallet if you like. Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: Jojatekok on June 03, 2014, 10:26:06 AM is bounty still on? I can make a nice BCN/MRO GUI wallet if you like. It's always great to have competition, as it makes products more perfect. From my side, I would happily agree to split the bounty between the developers of the most stable and easily usable wallets. There should be a voting at the 1st of July (?) of the best GUI, picked by the users. The prizes could be the following ('x' is a variable which stands for the amount of the bounty, equally split into 8 parts): 1st place: 5 * x 2nd place: 2 * x 3rd place: 1 * x Please give feedback about my idea! :) EDIT: I have done a little bit of research of those T and F parameters when querying the transaction history. According to ByteCoin's simplewallet.cpp file (https://github.com/amjuarez/bytecoin/blob/d22ea471d9979e6258ff7600910b5a04e4070a7d/src/simplewallet/simplewallet.cpp#L613), from lines 613-629, diving into the meaning of 'td.m_spent' took me to wallet2.cpp (https://github.com/amjuarez/bytecoin/blob/baaa3484271e11398790bbf01ee4d7b19c68e3bb/src/wallet/wallet2.cpp#L103) and wallet2.h (https://github.com/amjuarez/bytecoin/blob/d22ea471d9979e6258ff7600910b5a04e4070a7d/src/wallet/wallet2.h#L65). It's interesting to take a look at the struct 'transfer_details' in the header file, as there seem to be some nice parameters there which are useful. Anyway, I think that the 'm_spent' parameter indicates whether the money of a TX have already been spent on something, and 'm_tx' may contain some information we need (https://github.com/amjuarez/bytecoin/search?q=m_tx&type=Code). Also, we shouldn't forget that values with a type of 'double' could be negative too. I've just started investigating further, and will update everyone about the case here. ;) EDIT #2: It looks like I was right, 'send' transactions should not be deducted from the account's balance. Proof: https://i.imgur.com/Kx9AckY.png EDIT #3: I have solved the problem in my client, it temporarily shows the types as "unknown" for safety. Don't worry though, the RPC integration will probably solve everything. :D https://i.imgur.com/A7x8S3l.png Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: BitKoot on June 03, 2014, 05:27:42 PM There should be a voting at the 1st of July (?) of the best GUI, picked by the users.

Some deadline on the bounty is a good idea. Some statement from the person holding the bounty (tacotime?) about the current work being done would be nice. I wonder how many people are actually using one of the available wallets. There is a lot of talk about a GUI wallet being a necessity, but surprisingly little feedback about the available options. I will hold of on adding new functions to my project until the rpc api is complete enough to take over communication with the wallet and daemon (I should have a look at the recently added RPC calls).

That's why I store them separately at the moment, but that could easily be changed (I would prefer displaying those with the same IDs with the properties 'spendable' and 'unspendable', grouped, so the summaries' correctness could be checked). That's not as easy as it sounds (especially because of sorting), so I will leave this task to the very end. By the way, I'm working on simplifying the configuration system by using an object-based model.

Thank you for this suggestion! I'll look forward to implement this in the future (with the addition of RPC API support). The support we receive from the community is just overwhelming, and always strenghtens me when thinking about my future carreer selection. I am working hard to reach the feature set of Qt wallets, and have just finished implementing configuration support on the back-end (currently, settings are going to be stored at '%LocalAppData%\Jojatekok\MoneroClient\user.config', so they differ for each user of the computer. I have also started working on the Address book, but only on the GUI. Regarding the wrapping of background processes (bitmonerod.exe and simplewallet.exe), I'm removing the support for storing the executables of multiple processor architectures, as that is redundant in the scope of a single PC. Regarding further updates: I am taking the last exams of this school year in these days, and after that, I am going on a trip with the class for 3 days. My passion about the success of Monero is still the same, I would just like to mention that will not be the case for the lack of progress reports. ;) The first release of Monero Client is being planned day and night, and I work a lot of hours a day to ensure that the software is easy to use and performing flawlessly. Initially, when I started this project, I thought that releasing the product fast with only some features functioning was a good idea, but then I decided not to do so, as that would have resulted in either bad coding, or a featureless wallet-look-alike without trivial functions such as transfering coins. After the first grand release, I'll also have to deploy each new version professionally, meaning that I have to log changes and provide bundles of them for each processor architecture. So, the releases will happen when I decide they are really worth it. Don't worry, everyone will probably be pleased with the application and the upcoming updates for it. :) Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: fiatpete on June 08, 2014, 09:12:15 PM "settings are going to be stored at '%LocalAppData%\Jojatekok\MoneroClient\user.config"
please don't store the blockchain there otherwise on multi user computers, the blockchain will need to be downloaded and stored multiple times.

I did some work on my Qt-based Monero Wallet, and I think it is now ready for testing. https://github.com/Neozaru/bitmonero-qt This is still a testing version. The main goal is to provide an user-friendly interface without technical terms (which will be available in a future advanced-interface). I tried to manage each case : Import existing wallet (with refreshing), create a new wallet, use with already-running 'bitmonerod' (not default behavior, check github's README), etc... If you test it, please make suggestions about ergonomy, features, user-experience, colors (I find them ugly yet but I haven't any idea), and overall stability of the app. For devs and testers, the requirements are qt5 (including qtquick2/declarative) and boost1.55. If you want to compile it, ensure you have all dependencies and do : Quote qmake make For ArchLinux (64 bits) users, binaries are available here : http://toh.neozaru.info/toh/public/bitmonero-qt-testing-archlinux-x64.tar (simply untar and click on 'bitmonero-qt', but close all 'bitmonerod' and 'simplewallet' before) Arch users > to get dependencies (as root) : Quote pacman -S qt5 pacman -S boost Tell me if it doesn't run your in your platform. I could try myself (I've some sleeping VMs). Before trying the program, PLEASE ENSURE THE FOLLOWING : - 'bitmonerod' is NOT already running. - 'simplewallet' is NOT already running or running on a different wallet from the one you will use in the GUI. Some errors CAN happen. Maybe GUI errors I haven't detected, but sometimes bitmonero-core related errors. Please keep in mind that this GUI runs on top of 'bitmonerod', which still needs some necessary improvements, and I see that developers are working hard on it.

I just released Windows 64bits binaries of MoneroWallet-qt. You can find them here : http://toh.neozaru.info/toh/public/MoneroWallet-qt-windows8-x64.zip Just click on 'bitmonero-qt'. Please, dont move files from the original directory. (you can still create shortcuts). Please, ensure any 'bitmonerod' or 'simplewallet' is closed before. Performance is low, but it should work on most Windows 64 bits platforms. (optimized version exists, but requires OpenGL 2.0. Not really user-friendly) Please notify (or PM) me if it doesn't work in your 64 bits Windows Jojatekok > I will try yours soon. Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: darlidada on June 14, 2014, 10:11:40 AM thank you neozaru !!! how come that didnt make the news yet?!

Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: neozaru on June 16, 2014, 09:20:35 PM Hellou Great to see there is some activity to bring Linux GUI wallet for Monero.

Daemons, wallets, GUIs and so on, whithout need to install bitmonerod's and simplewallet's first and try to combine them to the GUI-Wallet. When do you think there would be available a Linux-GUI-Wallet for Monero? One problem is that Monero Core (bitmonerod, simplewallet) uses recent version of some libraries (ie: boost), so the build process can be difficult depending on the platform. Thus, to provide ready-to-user binaries is not straightforward for developers. Developing (providing code) takes time, but setting up build environments for all platforms (providing executables) is hard too, especially when the code is constantly evolving. ;) In the future, Monero Core could be added to Linux distributions repositories, facilitating usage for all users. From this point, GUI Wallets could use Monero Core as dependency. For Windows users, I think a all-in-one zip would be a good solution, but once again it takes time : Compiling for all platforms/architectures, creating installers, testing (!!), etc... As a developer, I currently prefer to focus on the code, rather than spending hours to compile it each Week for all platforms. Packaging is important, but maybe we should wait for maturity before spending time on it. About all-in-one GUI Wallet, I think bitmonerod will remain a standalone program because it embeds all the technical logic (can be launched transparently as subprocess). simplewallet will remain a CLI for creating/managing wallet, but it shouldn't be a dependency of GUI Wallets in the future. :) Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: btc-mike on June 16, 2014, 10:17:11 PM Boolberry (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=577267.0) has announced a GUI Wallet beta. I am posting here because it is qt-based and the source is freely available. This can be used as a reference for Monero wallet developers.
The GUI wallet is a cross-platform, qt-based, standalone application that does not require other processes. At the same time, it is designed to let user connect to already running daemon, if desired. As tested, it works under Windows, Linux and MacOS. This wallet use QtWebKit for display so appearance is described via html/javascript. This means you can experiment with GUI wallet display without any knowledge of C++. You don't even need to recompile project - just open "html" folder and have fun. The wallet is merged on the Boolberry project under the GUI branch https://github.com/cryptozoidberg/Boolberry/tree/GUI There are more GUI wallet build instructions on Boolberry website: http://boolberry.com/howto.html#build_gui Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: kneim on June 16, 2014, 10:38:48 PM donating 1 million BCN ... done
Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: jwinterm on June 17, 2014, 01:54:22 AM Hola Moneritos
I just wanted to post an update on my own GUI wallet, which I would still consider to be in the alpha stage. The wallet can send payments with a payment ID, and also launch bitmonerod, simplewallet, and minerd, but there is as yet no transaction history, which is a pretty key feature of any wallet. I'm not seeking a bounty, more to try and improve my python/coding skills, and hopefully get some feedback on the code, which is located here: https://github.com/jwinterm/cryptonoteRPCwalletGUI (https://github.com/jwinterm/cryptonoteRPCwalletGUI) There currently aren't any binaries, so if you'd like to run it, you will need python, kivy, and pygame on your computer. I've tested it on on Windows 7 and 8.1 and Debian, and it seems to be running OK. I think it should work on mac as well but I haven't tested it. Here are a few screenshots of the first two tabs/pages in the wallet: https://i.imgur.com/HI5g7VU.png First tab showing some stats from the last block mined. https://i.imgur.com/n64Oi8a.png Wallet launcher and balance tab. Any feedback on the code or layout is much appreciated. Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: neozaru on June 17, 2014, 07:28:52 AM Hello.
btc-mike > I saw the work of cryptozoidberg on his Wallet. I decided to not fork it for multiple reasons : - It is a very fresh work and I think he spent time on it. I guess forking it would be a bit frustrating for him.

It took me a while to figure out the popup with two buttons. I know it's not always closing all the subprocesses everytime you exit, but it does seem to work sometimes, I've been having trouble figuring that out. I think I'm going to abandon the multiprocessing module all together in favor of threads/threading (as apparently android doesn't support multiprocessing and it's making exe creation more difficult), so that will give me a chance to review it. Honestly not sure about the red circles, but thanks for testing and suggestions!

Stay tuned for more updates! ;) https://i.imgur.com/nw3aBhM.png well i should have closed putty (which redirects monero rpc port) before i had start your app. it works now: please dont misunderstand me: i really like and appreciate your work. i just hope that the rpc interface will not be forgotton as i see it as an major advantage Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: Phant721 on June 22, 2014, 08:11:22 AM Hello, I just released Windows 64bits binaries of MoneroWallet-qt.

The version provided in this previous post is deprecated (I removed the binaries). I will try to provide a fresh version today. I also experienced "Transaction rejected by daemon" yesterday, but it resolved by itself after 2 minutes. I don't think this is a GUI-related problem, but I will check. If you have a "bitmonerod.log" in your bitmonero-qt, you can send it to http://pastebin.com/ (http://pastebin.com/) (or only the part corresponding to the time of your error). Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: matrix961 on June 22, 2014, 02:56:49 PM Monero Client (https://github.com/Jojatekok/monero-client)'s first test release is here! https://i.imgur.com/Ib8ixrs.png I have been working very hard in the past days in order to make everything ready for the first test version of the WPF Monero Client to be deployed for the public. The next few releases will not have a changelog, as I will focus on the development instead. (Commits tell about most of the changes anyway.) I am proudly announcing that the application is now ready for testing. Please report any bugs or annoyances you occur, so I can fix them ASAP. Here is the link for the downloads: https://github.com/Jojatekok/monero-client/releases I noticed that the x86 version of bitmonerod.exe is buggy for me, so I recommend everyone to use the x64 architecture if possible. Please note that the slow shutdown is due to saving the blockchain and wallet data. The option for disabling these steps will be implemented in the near future, as all the data are saved every 2nd minute. Translators are still needed in order to reach everyone in the world with Monero's innovations. PM me for more details if You are interested! :) I tried out the x64 version and have to say you have done a great job on this. The only thing that isn't working for me is the "Encrypt Wallet" option. I click on it and nothing happens. I tried to load my already existing "mining" wallet and it wouldn't load since it was already password protected. The log just said wrong password. Do you have any plans on making it so the GUI will ask for a password for an already protected wallet that's being loaded?

That's not a bug, but a yet-to-be-implemented feature.

it is better to use simplewallet until guis are stable and suitably featured, or simply don't use a wallet at all if you can't handle that. if you are using a gui because you can't handle simplewallet, then you should wait until the gui is stable and idiot-proof.

I starting testing receiving and sending with a small amount. Here's something funky I'm seeing. I tried to do a test send to the wallet that was generated by the gui wallet. There seems to be an issue with the way the address is shown through the GUI. Below is an example. Notice the difference compared to the address in the logs. Anyways I was getting an invalid address when trying to send to the wallet until I realized and just pulled it from the log. Address copied from GUI: 42bjjr1ncvcge6pkn7fhzysmuydvlwxt2luxoswuajdbcfheil1bntszhy3kehecbzy9ypb8m4vqevm msjgqvwsa3jnvjdl (Invalid when sending to address) Address copied from Log: 42BJJR1ncVCGe6pkn7FhzYSmuyDVLwXt2LuXoSwuAjdBcFheiL1BNtsZHy3KEHecBZY9YPb8M4VQEVM MsjgqVWsA3jNVJdL (Valid when sending to address) It just looks like when viewed in the gui there are no caps in the address like in the log. I tried sending to the address I pulled from the log and was able to successfully send to the GUI and have it show up.

Monero Core itself is *not* ready for end-users yet, so GUIs cannot be ready either.

Users should also rtfm. If you blindly install/run executables or scripts on your computer without even looking at the readme file, well, then whatever ends up happening, you were kind of asking for it, imo.

The good news is that using the correctly formatted address from the log worked. I had sent a small amount from a different wallet and received it no problem. Went from unconfirmed to confirmed with no issues that I could see. I'll be sure to post more if I find anything.

Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: matrix961 on June 23, 2014, 01:34:05 PM Jojatekok,
Looking good… I tested the following. Generated address looks as it should in the GUI. It copies to clipboard with no issues and the QR code also scans showing the correct address. The save as function also works fine. I tested with a few coins and sent 1 to bittrex using payment ID and sent one back to my other wallet. I also did this with a fully synced blockchain. The first attempt sending to the exchange with payment ID failed and in the logs it just said daemon was busy. I waited about 10 minutes and it didn’t seem to attempt a resend so I tried again and it worked fine. I noticed that if you watch the wallet log there will be times where it will come back as daemon busy when it tries to refresh. If possible you might want to make any errors like that popup in a window if it occurs during a send or is it supposed to attempt a resend? Likewise a popup for a successful send would be informative as well. The format of the send with payment id in the logs looked fine. It’s just the daemon was busy. I was going to test the multiple recipient feature but noticed there was only one entry for the payment ID option. Since I was sending to the exchange (needed payment id) and to my other wallet I wasn’t sure which recipient the ID would be used for. I would assume it would be the first but didn’t want to take a chance. So basically I figure you would want each recipient to have it’s own payment ID field instead of just one at the bottom? When the refresh runs successfully the GUI does update the wallet amount and the transactions correctly. I also like the fact that we can specify locations for the resources. By default I was able to load this onto a USB stick and run it with no issues. The wallet saved on the USB in the directory it was supposed to. Now maybe in the future an option could be added to direct the location of the blockchain to USB? Not sure if it’s possible, the daemon itself would need to support that correct? Keep up the great work. I’ll definitely keep providing feedback on it.

Everything you have mentioned above is already planned, and even the relocation of the blockchain is possible (if I recall correctly).

Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: Jojatekok on June 24, 2014, 09:44:10 AM thanks ;D also someone have "bitmonero-qt" binary for windows? i need it ::) qt better than dotnet By today's measures of performance and compatibility, Qt is unquestionably better than the Microsoft .NET Framework. But on the other side, the .NET client has been coded from scratch, considering every factor which matters in order to function properly without any freezes. (I have not yet seen a Qt-based wallet which did not have hang-ups.) The code backend which Qt uses is far more difficult to understand and use than C#'s. If someone ever had an experience with C++ (I did), they know that even creating a new window can be a pain. In .NET, this process is far more efficient. On today's PCs (and I'm not talking about a supersonic gamer rig), the performance loss of 2D applications in C# is negligible. Also, WPF introduced the use of DirectX which makes your graphics card accelerate the rendering of the application (Qt doesn't have that). In conclusion, applications coded in WPF will get faster and faster eventually by time. (You can even start thinking about the pros of DirectX 12, including the performance boost which AMD's Mantle promised before.) About the compatibility, the drawback is that only WinForms applications can be ported to Linux and Mac OS X. But not in the future! C# is a young language compared to other C-derivatives. Microsoft had announced in april that they are working on .NET Native (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dotnet/archive/2014/04/02/announcing-net-native-preview.aspx) which may provide performance close to C++ applications, but with the ultimate feature set and extensibility of C#. It may also mean a step to multiplatform applications too. ;) EDIT #1: Progress report (without comments): https://i.imgur.com/r4tknMQ.png https://i.imgur.com/cnAcXEf.png EDIT #2: A new release (https://github.com/Jojatekok/monero-client/releases) (v0.23.0) is out, and can be directly downloaded for Windows x64 from here (https://github.com/Jojatekok/monero-client/releases/download/v0.23.0/monero-client-v0.23.0-x64.zip).

Great work, though I ran into this and I don't know how could I limit the number of connections: http://screenshotuploader.com/i/1406/akg1q.png Whoa, that's very interesting! I never expected that the number of connections would reach 256 or more, which is the limit of the numeric type I store them in (byte). I will raise the maximum to ushort then, which allows 65535 connections to be handled. As I have already stated before, feature development is going to be paused as long as I perform an audit on the current codebase. I have already fixed some things which no one has ever noticed before. Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: mogrith on June 24, 2014, 04:56:29 PM Is there an advantage to having 64K connections? or would it be better to stop making connections at a hard coded number. maybe overhead resources are small so an extra few thousand connections it not a problem.
BTW it password protection is working for me and I can use the client now. Thank you also for doing the code audit. making sure it's clean now is a very good idea and should make troubleshooting later easier.

We need to limit max connections in the daemon in future versions, the daemon is very promiscuous and bandwidth intensive unfortunately. Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: Jojatekok on June 25, 2014, 09:16:30 AM The code inspection I mentioned has really been necessary: I have fixed numerous bugs (including the one spotted in v0.23.0 which made the transaction history empty), and improved the performance of the application, making it ready for more exciting features to be added.

We need to limit max connections in the daemon in future versions, the daemon is very promiscuous and bandwidth intensive unfortunately. Yeah, limiting the amount of connections is the job of bitmonerod's developers. (I would suggest a limit of 64 ingoing + 64 outgoing connections.) Could you please update us about the bounty's exact deadline (not just only a day, but GMT/UTC hour), and tell us how will the entries be rated? EDIT #1: After the code audit, Monero Client will also consume less RAM :) EDIT #2: Little features like these may come with the next release ;) https://i.imgur.com/B8j3wvY.png Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: DarkAGeS on June 25, 2014, 07:49:16 PM can't trasfer xmr with this client:

Some news about bitmonero-qt (https://github.com/Neozaru/bitmonero-qt) status.
A Github wiki (https://github.com/Neozaru/bitmonero-qt/wiki/Building-and-using-bitmonero-qt) was created for bulding and usage (for curious developers and experienced users only). I've been using it for weeks (sync, balance, transactions) in replacement of simplewallet and it works fine. Once I set up good build processes, it will be available as a "beta" version. I want it to remain in "beta" stage until Monero Core become mature enough (big changes are coming, according to multiple community github branches (https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/network)). Jojatekok > I finally tested your Wallet (very quickly). Worked fine (just one click), with new wallet creation, address/balance displaying, address-book window. I haven't tested transactions (0 balance :D). Using transifex is a great idea ;) Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: Jojatekok on June 26, 2014, 08:21:38 AM Monero Client v0.24.0 has been released!
https://github.com/Jojatekok/monero-client/releases With numerous bug fixes and performance tweaks, this release of the Client is very special. It should fix most of the bugs which may occur with previous versions. Also, new translations are added: Thank You for everyone participating in the localization project (https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/monero-client/)! Shortly, here is what to expect from v0.24.0:
I had literally checked every single line of code, and fixed the errors I noticed. The only remaining bug should be the stop of simplewallet after a new wallet's creation (although the generating algorithm still works, the Client has to be restarted straight after it).

Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: Jojatekok on June 27, 2014, 02:27:15 PM Monero Client v0.25.0 has been released!
https://github.com/Jojatekok/monero-client/releases/tag/v0.25.0 It introduces a new feature: localization at runtime :) (So you don't have to close the program in order to switch between languages anymore.) There are also many core function changes which improve the performance by a lot (just look at the wallet console log printer's responsiveness): Numerous asynchronous operations have been merged into separate threads in order to consume less CPU clocks. More core API-related changes are in the works: stability is enormously important for all of us, isn't it? ;) EDIT #1: I noticed that the application crashes when it's closed. It cannot cause any kind of data loss, but I'll try to resolve it in the next version. EDIT #2: Also, non-passphrase-protected wallets will still ask for a passphrase by a mistake because of preparation for the next update. Please keep using v0.24.0 if you have an unprotected wallet!

I'll look into the case, and try to write a general debugging algorithm which exports crash logs to '\CrashLogs.txt'. Version 0.25.0 featured a core change, so it's definitely possible that it could be a reason. Yesterday, I was running Monero Client all night long, but didn't encounter the bug... :( EDIT: The mechanism has been successfully implemented and tested (it catches all the bugs), so it is going to be deployed in the next version.

Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: Jojatekok on June 29, 2014, 02:36:40 PM No more secrets: Here is the feature I was talking about yesterday! The Backup Manager allows you to periodically back up your wallet data easily with the press of less than 5 buttons. By default, it uses your wallet backup directory (which can be set in the options), but you can also define a custom path when creating new files.
Restoring backups has never been easier: You only have to select a date (or a custom path), and then press a button. The new wallet gets loaded immediately without the need for the application to be restarted. :) Please be patient, great things need time to be made! ;) https://i.imgur.com/0RMt2aO.png Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: neozaru on June 29, 2014, 03:01:05 PM No more secrets: Here is the feature I was talking about yesterday!

I think you should use electrum-like seeds instead. - For data files, they are regenerated automatically (blockchain scanning) if they are deleted. What is the use case of a backup ? However if this feature allows wallets to be saved differently (without .keys/data file), that could be a good idea because current formats are not UNIX <--> Windows compatibles.

https://github.com/Jojatekok/monero-client/releases/tag/v0.27.0 Another day, an other release! :) The immersive development of the Client continues with an unexpected feature: Backup Manager. It is a new solution for managing wallet backups easily without the need for any external tools. And this is only the basic functionality: many other fixes and improvements will be coming soon... ;) Oh, and I finally implemented a crash report logging system which automagically appends each new unhandled exception to '\CrashLogs.txt'. If you experience any issues, please send that log to me if possible, it helps a lot. For passionate people who would like to translate the Client, here is the link: https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/monero-client/ :D Thank you! :) The only new bug I know about in this release is related to the newly added feature, and doesn't do any "real harm": The backup manager's restore application method doesn't reset simplewallet.exe's arguments, thus, if a new wallet has been created during the Client's startup, old wallets cannot be restored - but only in that session.

I finally have an idea why it happens (2 or 3 minutes) after startup: One of the recent versions introduced automatic blockchain saving through the RPC every 2 minutes, and that can take more than 30 seconds (which is the WebRequest timeout I was using). I have set the timeout to Timeout.Infinite, as local requests may take any seconds. The reason why I didn't encounter this issue is that I am using an SSD, thus, my read/write times are faster than in the case of HDDs. (Probably, that's the reason behind TheNobodies' server being able to handle the situation without crashing.) Also, I made the blockchain save only every 5 minutes instead of 2, but the wallet will still save every 2 minutes (as that's a lightweight operation compared to storing the blockchain). EDIT: The new version will also feature better Timer handling. Instead of waiting for a pre-defined interval (see above on the graphics), requests are going to be finished before (see below). https://i.imgur.com/jV4cc49.png The 't's are the Timer's interval Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: neozaru on June 30, 2014, 06:46:34 AM Thank you for the crash logs!

I see that you are very interested in a special Core concept. :) You have added some great features (I didn't try them all), including custom TX fees, and I see that a deeper integration of wallet functions is your goal. Although, there are some visual annoyances (for example, on Windows, the whole application produces weird window behavior, there should be an epilepsy warning before doing such an operation ;D), I see that you didn't just fork another Qt wallet, but made a lot of effort towards a better future with Monero. ;) Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: neozaru on July 01, 2014, 07:46:51 AM Thanks for your feedbkack Jojatekok.

Only thing I noticed so far is that there seems to be no periodical refresh done. I transferred some XMR to a new wallet which I created with bitmonero-qt, I also saw those XMR arrive in the GUI, but it kept saying "Usable right now: 0.000000000 XMR". But when I shut down and restart the GUI, all of the XMR was immediately usable. It should have been probably already before if only a refresh had been done, I believe. Thanks!

Thank you for testing the Qt wallet. I noticed the same problem yesterday when I resynced the whole blockchain for a wallet : I received XMR during syncing but I had to restart the whole app to see them (as the transaction history). Since refreshes are done periodically from the GUI, I think the wallet simplewallet/rpcwallet doesn't refresh correctly in some conditions. (ie: it seems that if a refresh failed once, the wallet will not refresh itself anymore). Fixes are in testing : https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/pull/55 (https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/pull/55) I will do some manual testing with recent branches.

From my side, I would happily agree to split the bounty between the developers of the most stable and easily usable wallets. There should be a voting at the 1st of July (?) of the best GUI, picked by the users. The prizes could be the following ('x' is a variable which stands for the amount of the bounty, equally split into 8 parts): 1st place: 5 * x 2nd place: 2 * x 3rd place: 1 * x Please give feedback about my idea! :) Great suggestions. The terms will be a 5:2:1 bounty split to be decided on July 1st. We have 2610 XMR collected currently so that will be the prize pool (plus anything that may be contributed over June). The decision will be made by the bounty funders over an IRC discussion. The end goal here is really to get something the community will use in the medium/long term, not just a coding contest that ends on July 1st. So the winning GUIs will be decided based both on the current state and on future viability as a cross-platform GUI. It's fine if a submission doesn't quite meet the second part - it's still eligible to receive part of the 5:2:1 prize pool. So...... Time to vote? ;D Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: Jojatekok on July 02, 2014, 12:40:27 PM Monero Client v0.29.0
https://github.com/Jojatekok/monero-client/releases/tag/v0.29.0 This version makes the users unable to start multiple instances of the software. Some unrequired calls and functions have also been removed, thus, resulting in performance improvement (just try out QR code generation ;)). The crash logger doesn't log messages on shutdown anymore. Notice that this release didn't get a "Pre-release" tag on GitHub, which means that it can - and should - be safely used.

You should just keep your WalletData folder in the application's directory, and then delete everything else there in order to be up to date with the software, Currently, I don't know about any kind of regular methods of changing the wallet's password using simplewallet.exe, so that's the reason for greying it out. ;) Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: matrix961 on July 02, 2014, 02:16:09 PM Monero Client v0.29.0 https://github.com/Jojatekok/monero-client/releases/tag/v0.29.0 This version makes the users unable to start multiple instances of the software.

Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: kulin3422 on July 03, 2014, 11:31:15 AM When will the stable gui wallet come out?
Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: matrix961 on July 03, 2014, 03:49:03 PM Just a tip for anyone that copies over their old wallet to use.
I went ahead and copied over my old mining wallet replacing the new wallet files the gui created. It loaded fine but because there were so many transactions it took like 10 minutes to load everything up. I don't use the wallet anymore since I consolidated into a new wallet to get rid of dust. I just wanted to see it load with so many transactions. It does but it takes a long time so just keep that in mind if you try to load a wallet with lots of transactions. Mine had 1,994 transactions to be exact. They all show up in the transactions tab tho :P I wouldn't recommend using an old wallet like that anyways. You are better off creating a new wallet then send everything to it to consolidate. I think I sent everything to the exchange first then to my new wallet. Not sure if you need to send to an exchange first but it seemed like a good idea at the time. It's definitely so much better consolidating it tho. Edit: If you copy and replace the new wallet files just make sure you haven't sent anything to the new wallet first. :P Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: statdude on July 04, 2014, 01:31:17 AM New to the wallet and having an issue.

The blockchain's path is not related - in any way - to the Client's path. As an SSD user, I have already been planning to implement an option to relocate the blockchain's path, so a solution will be available for you soon. ;) v0.30.0 will introduce big core changes, so it's going to be an experimental release. EDIT: Finally, there will be a notification about this ;) https://i.imgur.com/rtKSUiI.png EDIT #2: Monero Client v0.30.0 (Experimental) is here! https://github.com/Jojatekok/monero-client/releases/tag/v0.30.0 Please be aware that this release is not intended for use in scenarios which require maximum stability, as this version introduces changes to the core which may affect functionality. I have successfully implemented RPC support for simplewallet, but - as it had been discussed earlier on the #monero-dev IRC channel - it may fail "silently" along with the daemon, thus, no notifications may be shown about incoming transactions. Although this is an experimental release, your wallet files are always safe and cannot be corrupted by my software. Report any bugs or crashes which you encounter: I only know about one which happens when the wallet RPC is not yet available, but the blockchain has been synced, thus, the 'Send' [transaction] button is enabled and causes a crash when pressed. Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: rangedriver on July 05, 2014, 04:34:56 PM Can I recommend that you name your client with something unique, rather than "Monero Client."

That should not be a problem until the Monero team hasn't decided about the "official" GUI. I will be taking action as soon as it confuses people from the official solution. I have to go on a short holiday now, so the development will pause for some days. I would also like to ask the XMR team to decide about the official wallet interface within the following week. It is one of the most important steps in the lifecycle of a cryptocurrency. ;) EDIT #1: As someone has requested before, I am working on a new balance estimation machanism which takes TX fee in account: https://i.imgur.com/AI36zbg.png EDIT #2: Monero Client v0.31.0 has been released! https://github.com/Jojatekok/monero-client/releases/tag/v0.31.0 Besides the balance and fee calculator implemented into the Send coins tab, this release features selection of your balances on the Overview tab. Also, we are celebrating the 15th language being added. Thanks for everyone, this is amazing! :) EDIT #3: Well, I've just realized that I forgot to implement real functionality when adjusting the TX fee. I would fix this ASAP, but am not near a computer with Visual Studio 2013 on it. Don't worry, this does NOT critically affect anything. ;) Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: fluffypony on July 08, 2014, 04:42:34 PM Afrikaans translation done! Rerig?

To give you some pretext to our decision: we were looking for a GUI wallet that had the following features: - open source (as the title says) - cross platform (as clarified by tacotime here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=589561.msg6659625#msg6659625)) - must work (I know this sounds funny, but you'd be surprised at the amount of non-working submissions bounties get) - must support a minimum set of core functions (sending payments with a payment ID, for instance) There has been a lot of really great work that has been done by a bunch of developers, and I think it's awesome that this is pretty much the first cryptocurrency I've seen that has multiple actively developed GUI clients. This is AWESOME, because it means that end users are the ones that benefit - they can pick and choose a client that is most suited to them. It also means that reference code will exist in multiple languages using multiple technologies, and this will vastly cut down on the effort required in the future by various projects. If you've developed a GUI client, please don't stop maintaining it:) As it stands right now, we won't be integrating any of these GUI clients into the main codebase just yet, as there is still a great deal of underlying work that must be done before we can ship a GUI wallet that just about anyone can run (unless we want to make the minimum memory requirement 8gb and the minimum Internet connection requirement 20mbps;) That having been said, we will continue to recommend the actively developed GUI wallets to anyone who prefers to use a GUI wallet, and that is the main purpose behind closing and awarding this bounty now: to have a short-list of recommended GUI wallets. Our rationale behind how we awarded the bounty is as follows (from smallest to greatest portion) - jwinterm - 5%, for using python and kivy, both great alternatives to Qt and providing awesome reference code BitKoot - 5%, for having the first working wallet out the gate, and for adding to it where possible Jojatekok - 20%, for ticking many of the boxes, and for his ongoing and active development neozaru - 70%, for having the most tightly-integrated, cross-platform GUI. He has also contributed a bunch of code upstream to the Monero core, much of which is useful not only to his project but to other GUIs. Good job, everyone! Please PM smooth your XMR and BCN addresses, and he will sort payment out as soon as he gets a moment. Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: smooth on July 08, 2014, 07:46:09 PM Please try to submit payment addresses ASAP. I would like to do as many as possible at one time and I plan to make thi first batch of payments in approximately 24 hours

This means a lot to the currency, so I hope that all the developers (including myself :)) are planning to continue their precious projects. I am definitely going to keep being a Monero supporter, because of all the features it provides, and the great community of Bitcoin veterans involved in it.

enjoy my 10 XMR ;D Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: smooth on July 10, 2014, 08:27:16 PM jwinterm - 5%, for using python and kivy, both great alternatives to Qt and providing awesome reference code BitKoot - 5%, for having the first working wallet out the gate, and for adding to it where possible Jojatekok - 20%, for ticking many of the boxes, and for his ongoing and active development neozaru - 70%, for having the most tightly-integrated, cross-platform GUI. He has also contributed a bunch of code upstream to the I have all of the payment addresses except a BCN address from neozaru. I have PMed requesting it and as soon as that is received I will proceed to pay out. Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: smooth on July 14, 2014, 06:49:56 AM I want to report here on the status of the bounty payments.
The bounty wallet should be considered closed at this time, please do not submit any further donations. First, I will be unable to make the BCN bounty payment immediately, because the current BCN code base from github fails to compile (on Ubuntu 12.04). Those payments will be held until I am able to perform a successful clean build of the BCN wallet. Regarding the XMR bounty, I received additional payments of 42 (block 92331) and 1000 (block 113551). I believe these are from wallet42 and NoodleDoodle respectively. This brings the total XMR wallet balance to 2676. This is slightly more than the total of the pledges in post #1 (the total listed there is incorrect, should be 2664) Code: ./simplewallet --wallet bounty-gui I am not holding the pledge of 5000 MINT from ficklepickle; the winners will need to contact that user directly to receive payment, if they have not done so already. The XMR payments will be as follows: jwinterm (5%) = 133.8 XMR BitKoot (5%) = 133.8 XMR Jojatekok (20%) = 535.2 XMR neozaru (70%) = 1,873.2 XMR The standard XMR transaction fee of 0.005 will be deducted from each payment. Neozaru's payment will be sent last and additional transaction fees or dust consolidation that end up being deducted by wallet (if any) will be deducted from neozaru's payment such that the entire balance of the wallet is paid out. Hopefully this will not happen, but I'm not sure. Payments will be sent shortly. Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: smooth on July 14, 2014, 09:36:15 AM All of the XMR distributions from the bounty fund are now complete. Transaction details have been sent to the winners.
There was fortunately no need for any additional deduction from neozaru's payment. All four payments were made in the exact amount specified (less standard 0.005 XMR fee), leaving a remaining balance in the bounty fund wallet of zero: Code: [wallet 4BBi2m]: refresh Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI Post by: Jojatekok on July 14, 2014, 10:51:01 AM All of the XMR distributions from the bounty fund are now complete.

It really has strenghtened my belief in Monero, thus, I will definitely keep developing my GUI wallet. :) |
