Dead Switch #103
Description
Processing hanging on Mac 15.3.1.
Background: Branta successfully runs for days at a time.
Initially I thought the software hit a deadlock, but after kill -9 it looks like my derivation search was set to 100000.
So the scenario is an unknown address in the clipboard, while the user has wallets set for deep searches.
Possible Solutions
- Lets still allow unlimited search range
- Lets mitigate main thread processing, move deeper searches to a background thread
- Show spinner when Branta threads are crunching through a deeper wallet search
- Menu bar item could have text:
- "Ongoing address Search"
- "Stop" to end the search through the wallets - and save the CPU? Needs to be super user friendly.
- Open to other ideas
Additional Questions
- How many addresses can our runtime check in 1 hour?
- How much memory can Branta allocate for long searches?
