Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI

Hi neozaru,

I managed to compile your QT wallet under Linux Mint 17, looks nice and works well for me.
Only thing I noticed so far is that there seems to be no periodical refresh done. I transferred
some XMR to a new wallet which I created with bitmonero-qt, I also saw those XMR arrive in
the GUI, but it kept saying "Usable right now: 0.000000000 XMR". But when I shut down and
restart the GUI, all of the XMR was immediately usable. It should have been probably already
before if only a refresh had been done, I believe.

Thanks!

Hello villabacho.

Thank you for testing the Qt wallet.
I noticed the same problem yesterday when I resynced the whole blockchain for a wallet : I received XMR during syncing but I had to restart the whole app to see them (as the transaction history). Since refreshes are done periodically from the GUI, I think the wallet simplewallet/rpcwallet doesn't refresh correctly in some conditions. (ie: it seems that if a refresh failed once, the wallet will not refresh itself anymore).

Fixes are in testing : https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/pull/55


I will do some manual testing with recent branches.
