Yes, I didn't bother to add an upgrade path for the BitcoinABC -> eCash transition, because any invalide/unknown value for the block_explorer config field will result in using the default, which is the one we want. Also about a year ago we force-upgraded people who selected BitcoinABC to eCash, so there are probably not many people left with this setting (only a few power users who really preferred the Bitcoin ABC explorer for some reason and selected it back). I'll check if I can make the widget properly reflect the default selection, instead of showing blank. Comment Actions fix BE_name_from_config to always return a valid explorer so we don't show an empty combobox in the settings Also handle the ViaWallet to CoinEx upgrade in update_config(). This way the update happens when the user updates ElectrumABC |
