Crash on unconfigured Core #1

Closed AdamISZ closed 8 years ago

AdamISZ commented 8 years ago

User report:

After doing some successful txs over the default blockr blockchain interface, switched to bitcoin-rpc and found that the application crashed (reliably). Two points to address:

  1. App needs to recover gracefully if Bitcoin Core is not configured correctly (prob threw an exception, but on Win 8 and only got error message 'App returned -1').
  2. Need to give very clear instructions on how to configure Core to work with joinmarket, including on windows; there are currently wiki articles here and here, but user reported 'confused, all the script stuff', i.e. it's not helpful enough for non-technical people. Focus should be on how to modify bitcoin.conf, but note there might be an 'icky' part with curl here for Win users.

You could have the app locate bitcoin.conf and add the notify lines itself

  1. : was fixed in version 4.

2: I think this will be an ongoing process.
