Summary

A newly-created wallet is always eligible for token rewards.

Add an option to the first screen a user sees when they create a wallet to "Claim Airdrop."

Considered (and implemented in testing) the option of just having the wallet auto-claim an airdrop on creation. However this could be a bit confusing to the user. The "Backup wallet" msg flashes briefly. The airdrop received msg is nice, but it is unclear why or what happened.

Having the user click a button and shortly after receive a tx is imo more satisfying and less ambiguous.

I think most people would assume Claim Airdrop to mean an XEC airdrop. If we ever offer XEC airdrops users might ignore it thinking it's just another eToken.

True.

However, this diff is also prep for starting to promote Cashtab and wallet creation from the e.cash landing page. I don't think a totally new user will know what CACHET is.

Also confusing that, after the airdrop, the user has no XEC. imo something that should be fixed server side, mb by adding a new-wallet airdrop that is only XEC, or XEC + CACHET so the user can send or burn tokens or the same with XEC 🤔

For now..will just live with the ambiguity, as we are going to advertise "airdrop" on the landing page, and I don't want never-used-ecash-before users to then have to process "wait wtf is CACHET". Will work server-side to add XEC to airdrops that specifically are going to wallets with no tx history.
