Who is skilled enough to convert official Linux Bitcoin client to use GTK instead of wx?
Is this development worthy or desirable enough to pursue or is wx acceptable?
q: let me get this straight. You’re asking if someone will put up a bounty for a conversion that you want? (bounty idea dismissed due to seeming weird/strange to some) a: I don’t want it. Is GTK better than QT or anytihng else? I’m not familiar.
“I would like it if Bitcoin used GTK instead of wxWidgets but I won’t pretend that I have a clue about how hard or easy that change might be”
someone: wx seems to work now as far as I can tell someone else: wx is an utter nightmare
q: why “convert” Satoshi’s front end? Why not just build a new one that uses the rpc calls?
there actually isn’t much that needs to be done to make bitcoind’s methods useful enough to do the same things the GUI does: in particular:
- list sending addresses
- show unaccepted blocks in listtransactions (maybe)
- select a range of transactions to show
