niffler's Issues

Inconsistent confirmed status between transactions and uxto.

Got data from official grin wallet owner api, however, transaction will set confirmed status after one confirmed on blockchain, whereas uxto will set to confirmed status after ten confirmed on blockchain.

Maybe a bug in official grin wallet ?

does not respect data_file_dir options within grin-wallet.toml file

OS: mac
Config Location: ~/.grin/
Data Location: ~/Wallets/Grin/

grin-server.toml and grin-wallet.toml are in the above config location but are configured to read the data stored in another directory (data location).

Niffler expects that wallet data to always be in the .grin directory even though in the grin-wallet.toml file it can be configured to be elsewhere:

data_file_dir = "/Users/USER_HOME/some/other/directory/wallet_data"

add message options in send tx and show it in receive tx

related issue:

#14

support for non-standard http/https url?

like https://crosschain.vite.net/gateway/grin-deposit/vite_a87799828e6b1833617398893514365cd961e67685449b419e@31490

support 12 seeds word to restore wallet

context:

hedwig v1 relay service

Is this the same as protocol as used in grinbox? are they compatible?

grin分叉了，什么时候更新钱包。

替换3.0的核心。。什么时候能完成？

Wallet generation if Grin++ installed also

I have noticed that after installation I had to type password for my wallet even though I had not create one. The intro view allows me to only Remove the current wallet, which is maybe Grin++ wallet. This issue is only on PC with Grin++ installed on win10 other win10 PC without Grin++ installed works OK.

add price in $ as an option in the wallet summary info.

context:
https://www.grin-forum.org/t/niffler-an-out-of-the-box-open-sourced-grin-gui-wallet/4760/24?u=xiaojay

may be use CoinGecko API to get price ?

Grin node stays running after closing Niffler

The grin process remains running after closing Niffler. Is this intentional? It seems like a bad idea because the only way to close it is to kill the process, which seems like it could more easily result in corrupt data.

Cannot restore seed phrase

How to restore seed phrase in the app? I don't want to generate new one I want to use an existing one

Upgrade electron to version 7.2.4

More convenient way to enter seed phrases to restore wallet

add delete specific word word/ insert seed word/edit specific word word function in enter seed phrases page.

Use grin node as backend instead of relying on a third-party

Title says it all, would be awesome if Niffler was "completely standalone".

Wrong password

I tried restore and createseveral new wallets setting with same passward.
It always prompted Wrong password".
Here is the log:

Is there anything going wrong?

Thank you.

http监听有时候能用有时候不能用。

也无法强制开启。。本来好好的，重启一下钱包就凉了。。企业固定IP 做了3415端口转发的。

Add option to send MAX amount of coins

While I was making a simple guide on how to send/receive grins on Niffler, I sent 1 coin to my Niffler wallet. After I was done, I wanted to send this 1 grin back to my original wallet. However, I can't completely spend this output, as Niffler requires me to leave 0.01 for a fee, even though the fee in practice is 0.008. So I ended up leaving 0.002 on my Niffler wallet, which is bloating the UTXO for no reason, as I never plan to use it.

I suggest to add a MAX option which will spend the entire wallet minus the exact fee amount. It would benefit the network by not leaving tiny outputs behind which are never going to be used.

using 0.6 windows preview, can not transfer and receive

Can not transfer grin to https://grin.connect.mixin.one/grin/4d03ba48e001d306 , this is my mobile app wallet deposit address. The engineer of the wallet app has told me many exchanges met problem on transfer and receive. The wallet has updated to correctly receive and send.
Can not receive by hedwig now.

add option to remove chain data to resync chain

none

sorry

Singleton:
when start Niffler wallet, check file a lock, see if another instance of Niffler wallet was already live.
if so, exit.
