Buyflow inconvenience
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm fully frustrated when I want to buy something and dont have Anon funds ready to use, then when i click on buy and proceed with it, it shows me this red banner error (information). And to convert those funds I have to go back into the other wallet tab and convert them manually, a huge UI inconvenience :(
Describe the solution you'd like A option to convert the funds already in the same window, the red banner can stay, but put below a option (button) to convert the funds now.
While this is somewhat of an inconvenience, it is unfortunately due to the nature of the software at the moment. Yes, the proposed solution is helpful, and convenient, and useful. However, is the convenience here simply a means to being able to perform the conversion quickly, or does it include the ability to make use of those funds as well?
The reason i ask that question is because payments on the marketplace are obtained from the anon balance. Any conversion to anon funds requires 12 blocks in order to confirm and make available the funds for spending. At approx. 2 minutes per block generation, this means that any conversion is going to require approx 24 minutes before actually being usable on the marketplace.
While this means that some conversion mechanism could likely be built in, as described in the request, it doesn't make it any quicker or convenient to being able to use the converted funds: once funds are converted, the buyer is going to need to hang around until the funds become available.
