Resume

It has been a while since the last time of Iguana GUI release. We planned to be ready with the new release by the time Komodo (https://github.com/jl777/komodo) main net is out there, and we are.

Strategic changes

As there were quite a lot of misunderstanding of the technologies and products SuperNET develops, we decided to formalize and structure them. So from here now there are two main streams of development activity:

  1. The Core - the engine that operates mainly on Iguana core, Komodo blockchain technology, dPOW, some features from zCash and other open-source and SuperNET techs.
  2. Iguana - the GUI, which is to function as a platform working on the Core and operating with decentralized applications and even open for 3d party developers.
  3. The Wallet and the EasyDEX are the first DApps developed by the developers of SuperNET. The Wallet is a multi-coin wallet with a single coind wallet option that can work as a regular qt-wallet. EasyDEX is a decentralized exchange for cryptos and fiat currencies.

The GUI bugs fixed:

  • 100% responsive for desktop, tablets, mobile
  • Missing observing background bug
  • Missing invalid passphrase message for incorrect input on the login flow
  • Create wallet with random user entry
  • Invalid message on the passphrase entry step
  • Minor code and user flow issues

The Chrome app bugs fixed:

  • Fixed unscrollable pages
  • Fixed top menu styling
  • Top menu disappears on mobile
  • Solved the settings page rendering issue

Features

Login\Create Flow Massive UX and UI upgrade

We simplified and unified these adjacent user flows; now a user has to click less and enjoy more. We also brought minor changes into other small elements such as coin tiles, improved wording in for feature descriptions and negative scenarios.

Setup guide for non-Iguana mode

We improved Full Node requirements check, we changed its place in the user flow consequence, complemented with text and visual tips and modified the app to check two conditions (running daemons, local proxy) of the settings required.

Fee options

We offer to users both global and per transaction fee settings. Meaning that a user may choose an option which will automatically apply a particular policy to all sending transactions. And a user can swiftly switch to another option or even provide a custom value while sending an operation.

Gladly for Bitcoin wallets, the fee options are dynamic and complemented with time estimation giving a clue on a transaction speed. Though altcoins only have the minimum value specified right now. Dynamic fees and time estimation will be implemented for all coins in further releases.

Reference Currency

Now the GUI supports 32 fiat currency as a reference currency to better understand what amount of cryptos equals to a chosen fiat currency. The rates are constantly updated, so there will not be any vulnerability with prices gap.

New coins supported:

  • Unobtanium (UNO)
  • Dogecoin (DOGE)
  • MazaCoin (MZC)
  • DigiByte (DGB)
  • Zetacoin (ZET)
  • ZcCoin (ZCC)
