[ANN] SpreadCoin | Decentralize Everything (decentralized blockexplorer coming)

"Welcome to SpreadCoin, the project that is building a network where any application or service can be run in a decentralised manner."

About the introductory text, I can do it so that different texts appear depending on if the user starts the wallet for the first time or some other event has occured.

Decentralize Everything

As the QT loading screen

The QT splashscreen looks like this already:

[coins101]

Nothing there about servicenodes.

maybe make one of the big boxes, Service Nodes, coming soon

The QT splashscreen looks like this already:
...

yes, and it looks great. So why not keep the theme in the wallet when its open?

Hm, not a big fan of this idea.

We should restrict it to what we have, not what we like to have.

We can add such additional boxes once the first testnet version is out.

"Welcome to SpreadCoin, the project that is building a network where any application or service can be run in a decentralised manner."

I like it, but still....

This is concentrating too much on the future, and not so much on what we already have achieved.

Keep in mind, we can change the text with every following wallet version, so we should stay rather specific on the current state of the wallet.

Yes, we can start the introductory text with "Decentralize everything" as title...

but what follows then?

I understand and respect your opinion on this but I also think a balance needs to be struck.

In project management the short, mid and long term goals of a project should be advertised and agreed by the project sponsors who in this case are the open source community at large.  Focussing on what we are doing right now is missing a chance to gain direction and support from the wider community in the future.

I can't think of an argument for not mentioning what is on the roadmap in the wallet.

Can we get protocol versions in there, keep them updated so people know which is the latest?

I agree with that.

I was just saying, your wording was focusing completely on the future.
What I want is some balance that also mentions the present.

If you could extend the wording ...

Yes, that's what the alert system is here for.
Once we start using it, the main devs can trigger alert messages for all kinds of things.

Its a tricky balance!  I think I need another coffee!

That's an interesting point.
I know of no wallet that informs the user about its specifications WITHIN the wallet.
So you are always forced to go visit the official site / blockexplorer to even know such things as blocktime, current blockreward, port, etc...

So, we could very well reuse part of the overview screen for such information.

But keep in mind that we already have a section of the header reserved for "network information":



so I am not sure

See, I could never come up with such a line, that's why I need your help with this.
But I want you to make it MORE perfect.

Any chance you could post your sig code. Mine needs an update.

I've got to run. back in 20mins

[stonehedge]

If it was perfect, it wouldn't need improvement

Give me a few mins to bounce a few ideas around like a squash ball in my skull.

I really like having the core fundamentals like block time etc somewhere within the wallet too.
