Users confused about "address balance mismatch" with EC

Open jcramer opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

When users look at their HD wallet balances in EC SLP they can become confused why simpleledger.info address balance may show a lower value. This is most likely to occur because EC SLP is an HD wallet that has an enumerated balance from multiple addresses. I'm thinking there's a couple of things we can do to help clear up the confusion:

  1. When a user does address balance lookup in explorer, we could add a tooltip or note that says something like: "Balances not matching up? If you are using Electron Cash you probably have an HD wallet that has many addresses, not just a single address. _[future]_You can look up your entire HD wallet balance by entering your xpub into the search"

  2. Implement search from xpub, this may be tricky as we would need to determine the address lookup depth on the hardened path for both internal and external addresses.
