Bitcoin OMG! including Watch-Only

[wtogami]

Update Nov 13, 2014:
https://github.com/litecoin-project/bitcoinomg
0.9.3 plus many backports including watch-only.  Can you help to test especially the watch-only parts?

Bitcoin OMG is an unofficial branch of Bitcoin 0.9.x plus well-tested features backported from Bitcoin master.

It is the intent for Bitcoin OMG to be relatively conservative and usable after wide-spread testing, but please be careful and make backups of wallet.dat.

Historically this branch has helped to find bugs in Bitcoin master before they go into the next official release.

IMHO I think it should be available as default to official client.

... then volunteer to run through the test plan and help shake out any bugs. Code that touches the wallet is particularly sensitive, because an obscure bug might cause lots of people to lose lots of money.

Please

Hundreds of Litecoin users and a few developers have been testing Coin Control many many times for the past several months.  We suggested improvements to the Coin Control patch and I am quite satisfied with it right now.  We are shipping it in the next version of Litecoin and it is also in this unofficial Bitcoin branch.  We do not control what goes into the official Bitcoin source.  The best we can do is to give things more test exposure, which has a tendency to shake out bugs and improve things faster than sitting in a source review queue forever.

Awesome.

Just installed this one one of my EC2 nodes.

No-wallet mode is going to be nice for that application.

Thanks, @wtogami - well done!

[Skinnkavaj]

Oh My God 

[Artyom]

Well done!

[matt_boyd]

Very nice!

[jaminunit]

Wow you are either DPR or the FBI LOL

[vindimy]

This is great - and it be merged into Bitcoin 0.9. Double win.

[piotr_n]

This is great - will it be merged into Bitcoin 0.9 somehow?

I think wtogami just got tired waiting for 0.9 with all the crap and decided to take the development into his own hands, putting in the useful features.
And that's exactly what this community needs.

@wtogami, make your own 0.9 and then 1.0 - people need it. Don't look behind.

p.s.
Will you pull my gitian sigs if I make some?

[viriat0]

Nice Balance!

I can't speak for Warren, but the general idea with gitian sigs is the more the better. We want lots of people from the community to use gitian - pretty much no matter who you are a gitian sig from you will increase someone's confidence in the build.

all I can tell you ATM, before going to bed, is that my win32 sigs are different
https://github.com/piotrnar/gitian.sigs.omg/tree/master/0.8.5-OMG1-win32/piotrnar

though I took the HEAD - might that be the problem?
I would not think so, since its the same commit id as the tag: 5b474dacd8ae0d32f8c76dead7b7e9905d868ec3

I'll redo my dep sha256sums when I return from an appointment today.  We need to get this right.

Their is an issue on the current 0.8.5 mac version, there was like a menu that would pop up when you right clicked on the dock icon, this was so when it was hidden it would come back.
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/1522

Now that bug has been reintroduced on this build. Love this build thou! Already used coin control!

http://blog.litecoin.org/2013/10/litecoin-v0852-rc2-release-notes.html
Could you please verify if that bug exists in Litecoin v0.8.5.2-rc2 too?  We copied nearly all the patches from our Litecoin branch, so I'm curious if it needs to be fixed there too.

Can you point me to a mac OSX dmg of the litecoin-qt of that version and I can then verify.
