I've downloaded latest version and I have still there "Bitcoin Nodes" in advanced settings, but after clicking on that there is "Biblepay Nodes".
So I don't know if it is still bug, or I have bad version.

The version you have is fine for testing. The version with the label fix is still in develepment, I will wait until the paper wallet sweep is ready to publish a new one.

There is still old version (211) on your link.
And what about importing? How it looks?
Do you have any schedule for it?
After that it will be easy to make promo for Biblepay.
Print paper wallets with QRs and on the other side with QR code to Google play store
And then just fill with some coins and make giveaway on street or front of the church

I have to debug some problem with utxo maintenance in explorer code, that affects PoS transactions, and then some more tests with Lichtsucher. Then it will be a matter of hours to publish it.

Nevermind the 211 version, just take the one in the link, it's the last one.

A minor thing I noticed:

In the 'advanced settings' tab, the nodes are called 'Bitcoin Nodes' instead of 'BiblePay Nodes'.  If you click on it, it will display 'BiblePay-nodes'.

Noted and fixed in dev

Say hello to the first transaction made by our BiblePay Android Wallet app, sweeping funds from a paper wallet QR private key.

Utxo info has been taken from my local block explorer webserver with the Iquidus upgrade patch.



Almost there!

Hi MIP,

I just wanted to say that you are doing a fantastic job. I will be voting for your proposals.
Also, I am not sure if others are like me, but I usually wait intil the last week before the superblock to vote, just so that I get a good idea of what is in the budget.

Thanks!

I agree, voting the last week should be the right approach, as several proposals could be competing for the same resources, and votes should work as a way to prioritize the most critical projects.

In this particular month, I think the only IT proposals are mine but there could be a month where this is not the case.

This is very interesting, because even if we reach only a low % of  the total audience, that will be still a lot of new people interested in this project.

Plan B seemed to work. It's about maintaining a clear list of the address UTXOs.

It takes a bit more database space and longer to index (about twice the time) but the good point is that calling the getutxo API is 5 times faster than the other way. I don't expect the other queries to be affected.

As soon as I can contact Lichtsucher we will try to test it on a test environment.

Ok I tried to add outpoint info in inputs so with a simple query you could know if it's unspent or not.

However, there was a trap:  Iquidus explorer iterates through all transaction inputs, but doesn't record all of them, it creates only one per address and then accumulates the amounts over the same "virtual" input.  This is logical as it is what we expect to see in the user interface.

So my initial approach can't work.

My "plan B" approach is, when processing inputs, trying to recover back the original output  and "mark" it as spent, then save again.  It way harder to implement, but probably the only way to go without changing the database model drastically.

Archived Proposals / Iquidus Explorer: upgrade to support GETUTXO in API

« on: April 11, 2018, 02:04:23 pm »

We need Iquidus explorer to support GETUTXO in its API.

It's required to support the paper wallet sweep in mobile versions. I expected Breadwallet to support this via some SPV functionality but it was not the case.

SCOPE OF WORK

- Starting from current Iquidus Explorer master version, implement GETUTXO in explorer API

http://explorer.biblepay-central.org/ext/getutxos/{address}

Output format will be recognized by Biblepay mobile wallet.
(see sample in https://api.breadwallet.com/q/addr/3PauLgPVQu2r6QnvWvK1GDGXdeB3ouCdqw/utxo?currency=BTC)


TASK BREAKDOWN

- Fork Iquidus explorer project, install biblepaycore, install explorer on a dev ubuntu computer (2h)
- Change database load to store outpoint hash and index in transaction inputs (2h)
- Implement check_is_unspent as a query to know if an output has already been used (1h)
- Implement API route /ext/getutxos (2h)
- Explorer full load tests (2h)

Total Budget:
9h dev&test @40€/h = 360€
= 0,064285 BTC (@ 5600€) = 173745 BBP (@37 sat)

Work is very advanced, and it works pretty fast. It will be a nice addition that few coin explorers have.

All code will be open sourced.

I will need Lichtsucher's help to update biblepay-central explorer. I don't know if you have a test environment before we go live.
A full reindex of the database will be required so expect a few hours downtime.

MIP you are awesome for jumping on this!

Is the code open source?

Sure. But at the moment it's on dev branch. As soon as we go real I'll push it to master and probably we'll move it to biblepay github repository.

Some quick updates:

I can't contact with Breadwallet devs asking about iOS repository updates. I'll wait a few days more.

Regarding Iquidus explorer, I will have to tweak the original node.js code so the transaction inputs can include the OutPoint info, which is required to implement a getUtxos API.
Of course after this update the explorer database will have to be rebuilt from scratch but well,.. that's progress.

So you have to redo a lot of work for the iOS version? If you spend more hours than expected, just put in another proposal. You've got my vote

I will try to make a full research first, before making a decision, as the changes include a refactoring of the ChainParameters data.

To make things harder, Breadwallet iOS team has not commited changes to Github since January 4th (last version is build 202 and "real" version you get from App Store is build 250) so there is a good chance that all the legwork I have to do on iOS build 202, has already been implemented by them in the last 3 months somewhere between build 202 and 250.

It would be a bit silly to throw tens of hours at the effort and see one day that it's already there when an official commit is finally made. There is no way to know until that day comes.

I will contact with Breadwallet team and ask but I don't know how jealous they are, regarding their codebase.  Another option is waiting a couple weeks and see if they finally update the repository.

What I will likely need to turn into a proposal, is the implementation of a "getutxo" API in Iquidus Explorer. It will be absolutely necessary to have the "private key sweep" feature. Breadwallet has it's own, but it's hosted on their servers and it's Bitcoin only.

Wooohoooo the current Breadwallet iOS version is relying in a 5-month old branch of the SPV client library... not the one I modified for the Android compile.

This is gonna be more painful than expected   .

CoinMarketCap does this automatically and the advantage is that they display a more accurate average price because they take into account the volume per exchange! So for example if exchange 1 has a 30 sat price at 99% of total volume, and exchange 2 has a 36 sat price at 1% of total volume, they will show 30 as average, not 33.

Here is their API for BBP: https://api.coinmarketcap.com/v1/ticker/biblepay/

Another advantage for you is that you will not have to update your code when new exchanges list BiblePay.

Included in the new version. Thanks for the suggestion.
