Watch-only wallet functionality #634

Open PoW-chain opened 3 months ago

PoW-chain commented 3 months ago

Would be very nice to be able to enter an xpub (with version converter like at https://jlopp.github.io/xpub-converter/) and see the balance and transactions for an entire wallet instead of just addresses.

Just for clarity, this functionality partially exists.

You can search by xyzpub and it will do the conversions and show you.

However, it's a performance heavy request to show the entire balance. So, at the moment it shows per address.

I do agree with this feature request and want it as well.

I believe the correct UI is to use a similar template to the address page where we visualize all the transactions for an xpub instead of the address. You would navigate to the transaction view from the existing address view.
