quite right you are, they're all there, and in debug help, bloody Bristol rum got in the way )

Great to hear that you've got it running without re-syncing. It's a clunky process, but unavoidable!

We've been talking about responsive wallet design for quite some time, tbh. Especially as retina / 5k + resolution displays would perceive the wallet as a tiny box! We're well aware of the current limitations of fixing the wallet container, but it won't always be like that. It was merely a matter of simplification, so that we can reduce the intimidation for the novice users, but also provide some sharper artwork. However, future iterations will include additional features and will incorporate the later CSS language that will allow the wallet to properly scale when resized. But as with everything... One step a time!

Post correcting some of the issues with the wallet; chain hang up / no seed nodes / performance / debug file size / UI, etc; the main discussion has been with regard to the aesthetic narrative and simplification of the build process. For example, the only real visual we've had to work with is the "HYP STK" original logo going at warp speed... Like... Why?! We spent a month in discussion of how to expand that theme into a full narrative, which we'll be releasing shortly - many people are more visually biased, so we're attempting to expand a whole visual narrative, so that the project is more appealing to a broader audience.

With regard to the build process, we want users to be able to get their hands on the code and be able to build their own binary for each system, so, as you can now see from the sourcecode, we've included build instructions for each OS. The more user friendly the repo it, the better, and especially for the longevity of the project. Even for yourself, for example... IF you're unhappy with the size of the wallet, you could download the source, modify the container restrain, and then re-compile for your own system.

Within the bitcoingui.cpp, there's a single attribute: "setFixedSize(765,710);." This is what is restraining the aspect ratio of the wallet and removing the ability to expand it. Adjusting the attribute to "setMinimumSize(765,710);" would have the wallet starting at that same size, but would also allow you to expand the wallet again. It's just not something we determined as a necessity, but we'd encourage users to modify the UI to their own needs. And if you're not confident to tackle this, send me a message once we've completed the release of Element (HYP) on Discord, and I'd be happy to custom compile you and expandable wallet!

And yes... The former sources for the additional RPC calls + the default ones were split between the first page of this thread and the HYP wiki from 7 years ago, so we made sure to combine them and have them in a single document format for easier use. And it now sits in a sidebar widget on the HYP Crypto-city page, so it's easy to find.

Haha rum got in the way. I'm well aware of that one. I'd be converting each coffee into an Irish if I didn't require brain power!

I think once we've rolled out the mobile wallet and new marketing literature over the coming weeks, I'll open up a suggestions box on the Discord server / a thread within the Element (HYP) Crypto-city page, so that we can incorporate ideas from the community into future wallet iterations. We're constantly discussing this topic and welcome any ideas; it's a community developed project, anyway!
