[Qt] Add checkbox in the GUI to opt-in to RBF when creating a transaction #9592

ryanofsky · 2017-01-19T23:44:00Z

The first three commits come from @jonasschnelli's PR #8182

utACK 054264a modulo send-dialog-confirmation text overhaul.

For clarity, we should probably use This transactions signals replaceability (optin-RBF)

This red warning with exclamation point is overly alarming. It almost implies it's dangerous to you that its replaceable. Transactions you send that are replaceable are not something to be warned about. Worst case someone doesn't accept them, and you can replace it.

I'm not sure we need to specially say anything here, but something more like "This transaction may be replaced." sounds nicer.

Fixed spelling of replaceable, removed exclamation point and red highlight in 8924813.

nit: we should probably access fWalletRbf over WalletModel (not directly over the global space).

This changes the default behaviour. Presently, it uses fWalletRbf, but now it will become !RBF always.

Is there a reason not to pass this through CCoinControl?

Please invert this. Not only is it unintuitive to have it backward, it also contradicts the current function signature (that is, passing true or false will silently get the opposite behaviour).

What about using This transaction signals replaceability?

Updated in 8f728d0.

jonasschnelli · 2017-01-24T08:41:57Z

Tested ACK 92b9ff6.

With a German UI, the text can look a bit strange (see screenshot).
Maybe we can add some pixels right margin?

Screenshots:

Possible follow-up work:
-> Add a UI option for the global -walletrbf flag.
-> Maybe persist the checkbox state (state should probably survives restarts, = strong -walletrbf in GUI settings)

aesedepece · 2017-01-24T11:54:32Z

I'm wondering whether it would make more sense to put the RBF checkbox next to the fee options instead. That would definitely avoid the layout issue with "verbose" languages like German or Spanish.

Think about it. We all know that RBF allows replacing transaction A with transaction B as long as A has no confirmations yet and B includes a higher fee. Nevertheless, as far as I know, the intended use case for RBF in Core is only to allow the user to increase the fee afterwards from the transactions history view by right-clicking, pressing "Increase fee..." and selecting a higher fee.

My point is that the user will not perceive the transaction being replaced but rather being "upgraded". That's why I believe that from an UX point of view, RBF is more related to fees than to a transaction as a whole, and therefore putting the checkbox in the fees frame makes much more sense to me.

jonasschnelli · 2017-01-24T12:55:59Z

I think @aesedepece made a good point. Moving it into the fee section makes sense.

Before this commit, the checkbox would always start off unchecked. After this commit it will respect the -walletrbf setting (which is currently false by default).

I still think this is likely to confuse users. Why must we say so here? (The alternative case seems much more of a liability...)

@jonasschnelli or others, you should comment if you think the "This transaction signals replaceability" text is useful, otherwise I'm fine with removing it.

I don't know whats best here.
Somehow I agree with @luke-jr that it would probably be better the label non-RBF transactions (something like "this transaction signals to be final"), but meh.

We also need to respect that RBF is deployed as a new feature and maybe users are expecting to see wether the new features is enabled or not.

So, no strong opinion. The PRs current solution seems acceptable to me.

ryanofsky · 2017-03-08T17:11:42Z

This PR has several ACKs. Should it be merged?

luke-jr · 2017-03-08T17:14:42Z

Probably needs a GUI way to actually use it first.

ryanofsky · 2017-03-08T17:22:25Z

Probably needs a GUI way to actually use it first.

In that case, this should not be merged until #9697 is merged. Would note though that there is no "GUI way" to use #9697 without this PR, so the dependency is somewhat circular.

luke-jr · 2017-03-08T17:29:16Z

Merging them at the same time seems logical.

jonasschnelli · 2017-03-17T14:30:31Z

Going to merge this (even without #9697). A) it can make sense without a Qt bumper (at least you can bump over the console) and B) I don't want to kick this back to a rebase phase.
