Discourage users from using the same seed words in two different instances of AtomicDEX at the same time #141

Open gcharang opened 4 years ago

gcharang commented 4 years ago

afaik, using the same seed words in two different instances of AtomicDEX at the same time is not recommended in general. the software isn't designed to take this situation into account. it might work well until it doesn't because of some edge case.

A warning in the GUI might do the job. It could be either in the seed creation screen or in the case of custom seed words, the seed input screen.

@gcharang using the same seed on different devices is a use case I'd like to support actually. We're going to have a way to offload orders to a server component, and as a side-effect there might also be an option to move orders between devices, or a kind of HA

While such option is possible It might be quite hard to support it especially when it will come to the point when devices will need to decide which one should run the swap and send transactions, all possibilities of double sending the payments must be thoroughly checked and eliminated.

Not going to transfer the active swaps, at least in the first run, just the Maker orders and likely the swap history, but we'll have the facilities necessary to check that a coin pair is served by only a single instance of the app.
