Mobile: Burner wallet page needs to be refreshed from time to time

[eshavkun]

This happens only on mobile browsers.
If user leaves page/browser with Burner opened for a while on background without touching it, the buttons stop working and main (ETH) network balance shows as 0 even when it's not (plasma balance is shown correctly). User needs to refresh the page to make wallet working again.
It may be caused by websockets timeout

don't you know why burner wallet constantly makes thousands of requests to dai.poa.network? any practical reason? it even crushes my browser sometimes...

I think these two observations are connected.

Adding this to the sprint.

Scope

• The burner wallet makes an excessive amount of requests when opened. This is makes it behave non-responsive in some cases
• Additionally Chrome throws the following message: MaxListenersExceededWarning: Possible EventEmitter memory leak detected. 101 data listeners added.

Deliverables

• Reduce the amount of connections and requests the burner-wallet establishes

Gain for the project

• Increased performance of the burner-wallet increases the user's experience
• Reduces load on leap-nodes

Wow! Since June and I forgot about this 🙈. Let me investigate it and work on it now

@iamonuwa Actually, I would recommend not to invest your time into it (unless you really want it). First of all - there is no bounty on this issue anymore. Second, we probably gonna move away from BW v1 in favor for v2 in near future.

Since we are moving. I'll move on to where the need is greater. Thanks
