Great to hear that you've got it running without re-syncing. It's a clunky process, but unavoidable!

We've been talking about responsive wallet design for quite some time, tbh. Especially as retina / 5k + resolution displays would perceive the wallet as a tiny box! We're well aware of the current limitations of fixing the wallet container, but it won't always be like that. It was merely a matter of simplification, so that we can reduce the intimidation for the novice users, but also provide some sharper artwork. However, future iterations will include additional features and will incorporate the later CSS language that will allow the wallet to properly scale when resized. But as with everything... One step a time!

Post correcting some of the issues with the wallet; chain hang up / no seed nodes / performance / debug file size / UI, etc; the main discussion has been with regard to the aesthetic narrative and simplification of the build process. For example, the only real visual we've had to work with is the "HYP STK" original logo going at warp speed... Like... Why?! We spent a month in discussion of how to expand that theme into a full narrative, which we'll be releasing shortly - many people are more visually biased, so we're attempting to expand a whole visual narrative, so that the project is more appealing to a broader audience.

With regard to the build process, we want users to be able to get their hands on the code and be able to build their own binary for each system, so, as you can now see from the sourcecode, we've included build instructions for each OS. The more user friendly the repo it, the better, and especially for the longevity of the project. Even for yourself, for example... IF you're unhappy with the size of the wallet, you could download the source, modify the container restraint, and then re-compile for your own system.

Within the bitcoingui.cpp, there's a single attribute: "setFixedSize(765,710);."  This is what is restraining the aspect ratio of the wallet and removing the ability to expand it. Adjusting the attribute to "setMinimumSize(765,710);" would have the wallet starting at that same size, but would also allow you to expand the wallet again. It's just not something we determined as a necessity, but we'd encourage users to modify the UI to their own needs. And if you're not confident to tackle this, send me a message once we've completed the release of Element (HYP) on Discord, and I'd be happy to custom compile you an expandable wallet!

And yes... The former sources for the additional RPC calls + the default ones were split between the first page of this thread and the HYP wiki from 7 years ago, so we made sure to combine them and have them in a single document format for easier use. And it now sits in a sidebar widget on the HYP Crypto-city page, so it's easy to find.

Haha rum got in the way. I'm well aware of that one. I'd be converting each coffee into an Irish if I didn't require brain power!

I think once we've rolled out the mobile wallet and new marketing literature over the coming weeks, I'll open up a suggestions box on the Discord server / a thread within the Element (HYP) Crypto-city page, so that we can incorporate ideas from the community into future wallet iterations. We're constantly discussing this topic and welcome any ideas; it's a community developed project, anyway!

I can't personally comment on the initial statement regarding PressTab, tbh. As far as I'm aware, he's left crypto entirely and that's exactly what bitmaster has been saying. Nonetheless, HYP is being actively invested in and we're injecting all the necessary time and resources to ensure that the project has a future. Ergo, the re-brand. The former HYP Twitter / Reddit / social media outlets have not been used for almost 4 years. This is a huge issue in terms of how larger exchanges perceive the project, as the impression is that it's been abandoned and not being actively developed, etc. The rebrand is intentional. Not only was HYP lacking in terms of the aesthetic narrative, but HyperStake's internet presence simply reflects long-term neglect. The new name, new aesthetics, new narrative, etc, will ensure that the perception going forth will be of one that's active and being developed.

Here are the links to the Linux binaries. They're static built and will execute on the majority of Linux systems, so compiling isn't necessary.

https://download.crypto-city.com/hyp/linux/Element-qt-appimage.zip
https://download.crypto-city.com/hyp/linux/elementd-appimage.zip

However, if you do intend to compile, then my guess is that you need to switch from:

libdb5.3-dev libdb5.3++-dev

To:

libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev

As you can see from the source, we've now included additional build notes for MacOS, Win-32, and Win-64, and a separate dependency list for Ubuntu 18 non-gui, as the scripts are not compatible with the later version of bdb:

https://github.com/Crypto-city/Element-HYP

What version of Ubuntu are you trying to build on? I'd be happy to take a look at this myself to see where the issue is and then we can update the README.md, so that we can help avoid this confusion in future.

1. It does not require a full resync. There's a document that explains how to update the wallet:

https://element-hyp.com/cc/how_to_update.pdf

Quite simply:

Shutdown your HyperStake wallet if it is running.

Rename the HyperStake appdata folder to Element. And then within the Element appdata folder, delete the following:

db.log, debug.log, governance.dat, peers.dat, and HyperStake.conf

Run the new Element binary. Done.

We're now running a multitude of seed nodes, so addnodes in the .conf are no longer necessary.

But as always, if you have any issues, you can open up a ticket on the HYP Discord server and you can communicate with us directly:

https://discord.gg/TtsmkHHgen

2. The former wallet wasn't scalable either - it utilized fixes CSS properties, so even when the wallet was maximized, there wasn't any UI benefit at all; it's not inherently responsive. Additionally, the intention was to make the wallet interface less daunting to novice users and behave and appear more like a real world wallet - small and compact. However, once everything has been released and the rebrand literature has permeated through all the indexes, we'll progress forth with some additional wallet features, and incorporate responsive CSS properties, so that the wallet UI would properly scale up when maximized.

3. https://element-hyp.com/cc/element_hyp_rpc_calls.pdf

We appreciate your contributions to the project, but the Crypto-city team are not simply modifying the UI.

Additionally, the new SPV mobile wallet data has yet to be pushed into the repo, which will happen in due course once we're satisfied with the UI; of course is being developed by the Crypto-city team.

If you'd like to know how we're approaching the development of the mobile wallet, please check:

https://electrum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/spv.html

And of course, you're welcome to continue to use whatever former client version you wish as it's not a hard fork, but obviously we want everyone to be aware that the aesthetic development of HYP and the direction we're going in will not include any of the former ideology. As we expand the project, acquire new exchanges, and develop furthermore, it will be in the direction of Element (HYP) and the narrative that follows. The proceeding new bitcointalk thread will be thorough and will inform the community of everything we intend to do.

You don't have to mess up anything.

There's a document that explains how to update the wallet:

We can only apologize in advance if there's any short term confusion in regard to updating, but we're not quite at the point of being public about the release. Getting the indexes and exchanges to update is a slow process, and we're in the process of finalizing the mobile app, too. The intention was to publish the new bitcointalk thread, announce the release of the mobile wallet and desktop wallets together. However, some people are downloading the new desktop client in advance, so it's an inevitability that there's going to be some friction to start with.

But as always, if you have any issues, you can open up a ticket on the HYP Discord server and you can communicate with us directly:

 

Could you please explain why you think that the wallet is a joke?

Barebones? We've simply removed a few of the navbar items that we deemed unnecessary on the immediate front end for novice users. However, all those navbar functions can still be executed from the drop down menu.

It's not a mandatory upgrade; it's not a fork or swap. It's the same protocol. However, all of the indexes and exchanges will be reflecting the new name, Element (HYP), and all seed nodes and exchanges are already running the latest wallet version. So if you decide to continue to run the former HyperStake client, it's up to you; it just won't reflect the new name / branding / have any of the performance upgrades.

Thanks for posting! 

Flower puns acceptable here!

Great input noeL! So glad to hear we've helped you along so much.

Very humbled by those words. The team rescued this software and fund the project 100% independently, so it's very important to us that people understand what we're trying to achieve.

It's our pleasure!

The community wouldn't be the same without you, Living Leg end!

You'll have to thank @Hort for being so helpful! So glad you've decided to take this journey with us and that you've been able to learn so much so far. It's a journey we all take together, so we value appreciation.

Love that positivity! We are constantly working toward making sure the community are communicating properly with each other, so that people are able to get more out of the experience than just "moonz" "lambo" "insert rocket emoji." Obviously we want success, but we're going to ensure that we've got a solid core community as we progress through our objectives. 3-5 years will be amazing to see. Next bull run in 3 years time, so let's see where this journey takes us.

This is a wonderful comment, Augustina! Thanks so much for letting us know how much you appreciate the community we're building. So thankful we found you!
