So I’m diving into Bitcoin’s source code for the first time. There are some devs here so I'd appreciate any feedback. Just submitted a Pull Request. I’ve always wanted to see my UTXOs clearly even if I’m not spending them.
I’m totally on board with this Pull Request! The Coin Control interface in Bitcoin Core feels clunky and takes up too much space. Making it accessible with a button like you suggested is a solid idea.
Nice work! It’s great to see how open source lets us make these adjustments. Not super urgent, but still a neat fix. Quick question though, will your changes work with pre-existing dialogue boxes? Sometimes I gotta close them to access other ones.
Appreciate the effort! But did you read the contributor guide? Keeping the "Quantity" label and allowing a choice between "Tree mode" or "List mode" would be super helpful for wallets with lots of UTXOs.
Unless there’s some hidden meaning behind it, I think it’s essential. It’s a responsibility, really. Let’s see how the community reacts to this, I’m sure there will be feedback.
Honestly, there’s no secret meaning. A lot of folks want changes but don’t pitch in. Core is strict about technical debt. Since it’s not a huge feature, as long as you’re willing to maintain it, it should be fine. Are you planning to stick around for more contributions?
Oh definitely! I wanna contribute more but won’t force it. I’ll check out the repo, see what issues pop up, and only contribute if it feels right. Not planning to change stuff just for the sake of it.
Quick update for those not following on Github: made some changes after feedback from Luke Dashjr. Now, when coin control features are off, the “Coins” tab hides. Once enabled, it shows again. And if you disable it, it goes back to the Overview tab. Check out the new look!
