Hi Rob,
2) That would seem like a reason it had to be on a DM block, which could have been set to a DM block 1 week away, which would allow everyone to update in the meantime. I may be missing something though.
3) Thank you, I realized that after the wallet finished updating. The blockchain explorer is apparently not updated, so it was not showing there.
4) Where would I see such messages? I did not see any message, and there are none in the My Messages tab. I am subscribed to the update emails.
5) Glad to hear such a short upgrade time window is not the norm. I think though that the more stable blockchains normally have longer than 1 week though.
6) I would suggest that if there is a mandatory upgrade it should be posted to github immediately. If it needs another update due to an issue, it can be updated.
Is there a guide to the trust wallet integration? It is not clear how to set it up. I found
Portfolio Builder, which mentions Trust wallet integration, but then says you can use any wallet, which is how it was before the update.
Regarding the press release: I think it is a great idea to have a press release. However, the website/wiki should be updated before it is released in order for it to be effective. That way new users are not turned away by confusing/conflicting information. As it stands now, the press release points you to the post about the update, which does not explain how it works. The website does not have the information either, and still points to DWS which was disabled a while ago. And PODC, which was disabled even further ago. I know I spent many hours trying to get PODC working only to discover it was disabled.
I hope my comments / suggestions are not taken the wrong way. I like BiblePay and think you have spent a lot of time improving it. I am especially looking forward to the wallet integration. I want BiblePay to be successful and think that the new user experience is currently a significant hinderance.
Blessings,
Jo
