Add a syncing status and warning #1032

Open Tobo01 opened 6 years ago

Tobo01 commented 6 years ago

I suggest to add a syncing status. If a wallet is not synced, the wallet should show a warning and not allow the user to process the transaction.

I think most of the reported users problems are associated with their wallets being not synced and those users did not know how to check the syncing status.

It would also be nice if the wallet automatically selected a light wallet node, and when a node falls out of sync to automatically switch to a different one. Most users don't know or care which node they're connected to. Most SPV wallets for other currencies, such as Electrum, have this sort of node selection implemented seamlessly.
