Can you explain why I see the same number for my Balance as I do for Unconfirmed? Very confusing. How do I get my XMR to confirm? (I'm mining at moneropool.com)
In my WPF application, 'Balance' is called 'Spendable', so it isn't confusing at all. Currently, it is retrieved by using the 'refresh' or 'balance' command on the daemon (so whether it doesn't show the correct balance, it isn't our fault, but I have never seen it showing the balances wrong.
It's always great to have competition, as it makes products more perfect. From my side, I would happily agree to split the bounty between the developers of the most stable and easily usable wallets. There should be a voting at the 1st of July (?) of the best GUI, picked by the users.
The prizes could be the following ('x' is a variable which stands for the amount of the bounty, equally split into 8 parts):
1st place: 5 * x
2nd place: 2 * x
3rd place: 1 * x
Please give feedback about my idea!
Great suggestions. The terms will be a 5:2:1 bounty split to be decided on July 1st. We have 2610 XMR collected currently so that will be the prize pool (plus anything that may be contributed over June). The decision will be made by the bounty funders over an IRC discussion.
The end goal here is really to get something the community will use in the medium/long term, not just a coding contest that ends on July 1st. So the winning GUIs will be decided based both on the current state and on future viability as a cross-platform GUI. It's fine if a submission doesn't quite meet the second part - it's still eligible to receive part of the 5:2:1 prize pool.
Thank you for confirming my idea! I hope that all the contestants have faith in XMR with its totally anonymous transactions, so the lucky developers are not going to dump all their winnings, but wait with patience and spend them wisely.
EDIT: Guess what's coming up! Right, Monero Client now supports user configurations. The GUI for options has yet to be implemented, though...
EDIT #2: Also, I forgot to mention that there is also an About dialog implemented using the official Monero icon. Notice that the number of transactions are showing up correctly too.
