Title: [WALLET] Improving generic wallet code
Post by: Singman33 on September 11, 2014, 09:47:03 AM
Hi,
Many many alt crypto are using the same code base for their wallets. It's time to improve that code, to add missing functions or get a better standard base code.
Two examples to give you an idea :
  • Return the block reward with the 'getinfo' call, like heavycoin do. Many altcoin devs love to find very complex formulae for their block reward, not always with the possibility for pools owner to calculate
  • Use the 'error' field to give more informations about the status of the waller, ie when you do a 'reindex' command, all informations given by wallet is not up-to-date to network during the time of operation. But there is no way to know the wallet is reindexing his database or when it's finished. Again, very usefull for pools owner.

Feel free to add your comments.

Thanks.
