As per discussion in #569 the use of options.txfee
to set fee rates conflicted with its earlier use
to make a first guess of fees for user warnings.
Now this connection is removed, the guess for warning
calculation is done independent of this option setting.
Probably a value from the past, when BTC was worth considerably less.
To align with yg-basic, which already uses this lower min size.
Improves orderbook liquidity for smaller amounts.
Prior to this commit, the function `exit()` was unavailable
due to the removal of the builtins import in 4bf1f50.
This led to NameError exceptions instead of the intended error
messages in Qt startup with wrong configuration (I did not
investigate if it could also happen on command line).
Fix was to make all exit() calls sys.exit().
To facilitate easier management by users and to
follow generally accepted standards, this PR moves
the following all to user home directory, subdir
.joinmarket :
joinmarket.cfg file
wallets/ directory
logs/ directory
cmtdata/ directory
commitmentlist file
User can override location with --datadir option.
An info message is added on startup showing location.
In refactor for #359 it was noted that the wallet
monitoring loop in Qt updated the status bar every
5 seconds, overwriting any existing status updates.
This fixes that UI bug so that the wallet synced
successfully (or unsucessfully) message is only shown
at start up or if there is a change of status (i.e.
the wallet monitoring loop stops working).
Closes#274. Utxos are disabled if they are sent
to a reused address, and are below a threshold
set by the value `max_sats_freeze_reuse` in the
`POLICY` section of the config file. If the value
is -1, such utxos are always frozen irrespective of
the value.
Users are prompted with a warning level logging message
on CLI and a popup on Joinmarket-Qt. Such disabled utxos
can of course be re-enabled by the existing methods.
Also adds test case for address reuse freezing function.
Fixes#459. If the mixdepth chosen is empty, shutdown
immediately with ARGERROR. User can either choose a
different mixdepth and try again, or receive payment
another way.
Fixes#438
Prior to this commit, if Load Wallet were selected
from the menu and a wallet loaded did not have imports,
the restart prompt message appeared only on the console
and the application quit via sys.exit().
After this commit, the Qt restart callback is always used,
as intended. The case of recovery sync for old, heavily
used wallets is not covered.
Prior to this commit, the user was prompted to check for
the acceptability of fees in Qt via a dialog, but settings
used in CLI (max_cj_fee_***) were not also being used the
same way in Qt.
After this commit, if the user has not added those settings,
a dialog is presented with new randomised defaults (as for
CLI), and otherwise any settings in the config file are read
and used.
PR #367 and follow up edits were designed to give a sanity
check to users for fees, but require specifying a payment
amount, this could be generalised to custom schedules but
for now the simplest change is to remove this check for
schedules. Thanks to @roshii for flagging the error.
The schedule format gets an extra field added denoting the number of
significant figures to round the coinjoin amounts to, with 16 meaning
no rounding.
