Show in GUI the type of Wallet (HD or old non-HD) #8508

   Using 0.13.0rc1 (or rc2?) I emptied my old non-HD wallet, shutdown bitcoin-core, moved the old wallet.dat away and started bitcoin-core again, to get a new HD wallet created. So the new wallet should be a HD wallet, because I did not change the default “-usehd” option value of 1.

   But I would like to see a confirmation of my guess somewhere in the GUI, maybe in the debug window, or maybe under Help->About wallet. Maybe also the wallet should have a version number to be able to clearly identifiy the type of wallet (e.g. wallet type version 1 = HD Wallet)

   I think you can try “About”->“Debug window”->“Console” and type in getwalletinfo. Search for walletversion and hdmasterkeyid.

   Thanks for the tip. Walletversion is 130000 and there is a hdmasterkeyid shown. So I guess all is ok. Maybe a little GUI info would be nice for people who do not bother researching and executing rpc commands

   Sounds reasonable to add the wallet version to the debug console maybe?

   getwalletinfo would be the place for that. I’m surprised it isn’t in there yet. Oh wait it is:

   0obj.push_back(Pair("walletversion", pwalletMain->GetVersion()));
