Probably best to keep things simple. Bells and whistles introduce overhead and can cause unexpected issues. otoh, I don't mind if HoboNickels-Qt is feature rich as long as hobonickelsd remains lean. Having a trollbox integrated in a wallet would certainly set HoboNickels apart from the rest and might be a great way to build an active community. (I imagine most people that download the wallet won't discover this thread). Of course, it might also open the doors to IRC phishing bots preying on users right inside of the wallet. That might be somewhat undesirable ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Agreed, security is the number one concern. All changes I do I always try to think of that first. IRC is mostly safe, but there are attacks such as DoS flood attacks and other holes(I may not know of) that could be exploited. Perhaps if we allow for it, but turn it off by default, and give the user the options under the Option menu to enable it, could be the best of both world. I'll play with it a bit and see, most likely it may not make it to 1.5, but I won't remove it from the code for now. Just leave it as dead code for the time being.

Personally I would enjoy a space to chat in real time with other people I know are using the coin, mainly to see who is using the coin and create a greater sense of community, maybe help create community based projects for promotion of HBN ect. It doesn't have to be in the client but at the moment it seems as though most users of HBN are a bit detatched from any sense of community development in the coin. I could be wrong though. Just my 2 cents.

I would favor simplicity and security over IRC which I've never used anyway

I downloaded the v1.4.8.0-gc2153fdc-hobo wallet and it reset all my block data? Now I have to download the entire blockchain for trying a newer wallet version? It loads faster but now I have to wait an entire day for the wallet to download the blockchain again. ![Cry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cry.gif)

I have the first beta version for 1.5 ready. I'll put up the full change log on github in the next day or so. https://github.com/Tranz5/HoboNickels/releases/tag/1.4.7.0Although I have had no issues, I do highly suggest you take the time (after you shutdown the client) to backup your wallet(s).dat, blk0001.dat and database/txleveldb directories, before starting up the new client. Please let me know if you see anything odd or have any issues. Enjoy! Did you read what Tranz wrote??

Yes I backed up my wallet data. The newest beta wallet eats up the backed up data also. So I either re-sync the entire chain to use the beta or go back to 1.4.0, so I will go back to 1.4.0 and wait for the next official wallet release.

Yes version 1.4.0.1+ uses a new index method which requires a re-index. You would have to do this now or when version 1.5 comes out, if you were at a lower version. The other option you have would be to use the new version but start it up with -fastindex=0. This would allow you to use the old index but still use the new wallet.

Thanks Tranz for the info. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) NP. I also suggest after you are fully up to sync, is to shutdown the client and clone the %appdata%/HoboNickels directory and the exe, to a thumb drive. If anything happens, PC, wallet, index, whatever, you are ready to run in a matter of minutes.

I vote leave it as is with the switch to turn it on on init. And no to the in wallet IRC, just is cliche for the most part in my opinion.
Everything else is looking good. And I appreciate the work going into S4C, it is a great addition.

Seems this is the majority thinking. I tend to agree.
