Dead Switch #103

Description

@keith-gardner

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?
