Dear coin devs:
please always mention VERSION and DATE of your walletMaintaining many wallets can be made
much easier for us ... please, devs.
At the moment it's always the same riddles:
Which version am I running? Which one is the newest available? When was it published? Am I still fine, or is the update mandatory? How can I find out without actually starting the wallet client? ...
Please help us:
OP of your ANN thread, right beside the wallet downloads:mention the newest version number
AND release date
AND the reason for this update (e.g. heartbleed bug)
Your websitemention the newest version number AND release date AND the reason for this update
In the filenameinclude the version number into the download-filename, e.g.
MyUniqueCoin-v0.8.6.2.zip(Windows/Mac) In the file properties of the .exee.g. file properties for the "v0.9.4.4-unk-beta" version:
https://i.imgur.com/Xn0zedw.pngIn the archive which I unpack,provide a readme-v0.8.6.2.txt or history-v0.8.6.2.txt or version-v0.8.6.2.txt or MyUniqueCoin-v0.8.6.2.txt
Then two quick visits,
into the install folder, and onto the ANN thread
will tell me: It's time to act!
A big plus is also to link to a
www.virustotal.com result for each binary, and give sha1 / sha256 codes
Actually, I just had an idea, a useful tiny program - anyone wants to program that? A small download which iterates through all the (usually used) wallet folders, and (1) compiles a list of version numbers of installed wallets; and then (2) compares to a list which is kept updated on a server; where (3) admins register if they have released a new version. And you can build it step by step: (1) would already be useful, (2) would be great, and (3) really cool :-) And all that could become the starting point for a fancy (4) wallet software distribution system (e.g. s.th. like
http://portableapps.com/download ). And (5) a wallet.dat backup suite.
I'm poor. Please tip me here www.tiny.cc/drakointip for my ideas & work
