Hi Akkin,

Yeah, we definitely have had a few new versions built since that version, and I need to release a new one.
Should have it before the end of the day and Ill update you here.

In the mean time, which wallet OS version are you downloading, windows or linux?

I want to promote this new phone function !
Can I get the phone access for windows ?

Hi Mr. A,  yes, absolutely.
Thanks for your interest!
I've got windows 96% compiled, and very, very close to releasing it to testnet.

Thankfully today is a holiday in the US, Memorial Day, so I should have this done within 4 hours!

I'll post my Todo List now, just to give everyone an idea whats going on and please peek back here before end of day and we can start testing.

Last items on checklist for Rob to finish right now:


1.   Verify the unchained auto-provision keypair works for a clean wallet
       (The error when not provisioned should be moved to a msgpage)... Right now wallet blows up

2.   Run through a final end to end test for release linux (this basically means I need a batch file to copy the linux release into the correct folder when they install it)

3. Run through the upgrade process, when we push an upgrade does the end client upgrade (this keeps web content fresh)

4.  Ensure the revivesanc command is called automatically by the core wallet so as to pay investor nodes internally (this is a little batch job running in core wallet for investors)

5.  Verify the BBPAPI checks the latest version hash vs running version hash and attempts to upgrade the DLL if its out of date, or, if autoupgrade=0, ceases to work after mandatory upgrade

6.  Test the IPC msg when it needs an upgrade notifies the user.

7.  Change home page on unchained to talk about changes - rather than the current banner

8.  Make sure the installer for windows copies the BMSD file to windows %appdata%\biblepay\biblepay\BMSD

9  Chmod 777 biblepay.Bms so the installer can run

10  Create biblepay/bms.conf or touch the file does not exist, currently blows up the wallet

11.  Throw UI sorry you must fund your wallet on the ui rather than a silent log message

12.  Talk about zoho,email,phone on general thread

13. Fix buildbiblepay.txt file to not include old dependencies and freshen

14. Ensure the phone launches on localhost so they dont need an SSL key



I'm working on this list right now. 

Ok, Windows is ready to test!

Note that the version was ticked up to 0.17.3.3; please verify this is your version.

I updated the link for Windows in the OP Post (see the first post for the download link).


Instructions: 0.17.3.3 Red Sea:

Download the windows installer and save on the local hard drive.
Run the installer.
Change the default installation location to "c:\program files\biblepaydev" (this prevents the testnet version from overwriting the prod version).
Run the program with no testnet flag in mainnet (Because we need to test in mainnet, as the phone system does not work in testnet).

Once the wallet is loaded, if your wallet is Locked, unlock the wallet before clicking the unchained menu (otherwise you will receive an error).

Give it some time to launch (you should see an info message explaining that Unchained is upgrading).

Fund your BBP Unchained key with more than 5000 BBP by doing this (with real prod funds):
- Find your address by clicking File | Receive Addresses | Copy the Unchained entry public key
- Send BBP to that address, send more than 5001 bbp

Launching Unchained:

Click the Unchained menu option.  (Note, if you attempt to launch the Phone without 5000 BBP, you cannot provision the Phone).
From Unchained Desktop, Click Phone | Phone Service.
Click the Provision Tab.
Choose a State, and an Area (this allows you to choose the 3 digit area code you prefer for your home phone number).
Click Provision.
Once provisioned you will see your phone number on the Phone Service page.
Now you can make phone calls and receive phone calls.
To call yourself, find your Phone Number on the Phone Service page, then dial yourself.



Good luck !

Good morning.

Like I mentioned in the prior post, we have to test Unchained in Mainnet, because there is no testnet version of the phone system as it makes real calls which have real network costs per minute.
Yes, you should fund that Unchained key with real BBP first, then click on the Unchained button and then you should see the unchained app.

For the next version, I made a pop up dialog appear when it is upgrading to better inform the user (in contrast to the way it is now using a toast message).

rob I've funded it with 5009 bbp but when I click on unchained icon nothing happens

Same here unchained dont pop up:(

Ok thanks for trying; Let me reproduce with a clean empty wallet guys.

Rob

Ok guys, sorry about that, I introduced a couple bugs into the windows version during the final compiles.

Lets try this again.

Just to be sure there are no bugs, before you re-test, on windows, navigate to (in file explorer):
%appdata%\biblepay
Delete the "unchained.conf" before relaunching the new wallet.  This just clears your unchained config file so we can ensure all the normal things happen in order this time.

I just released a new windows version.  Please be sure you are upgraded to 0.17.3.4.

Now we should be able to retest properly and provision new lines.


Good luck.
