    @RandyMcMillan it seems this PR should be moved to the main repo https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin, no?
  4. RandyMcMillan commented at 9:18 pm on February 1, 2021: contributor

    Would you mind suggesting any improvements here? Since it is here? Then once ready - I can push it to bitcoin/bitcoin :)

    If it is good to go - I will push now.

    tbh, I don’t see much value in these changes.

These interfaces are not currently designed to be stable or to be used externally.

    small NIT

    feel free to ignore this, don’t want this to get caught up on this word choice

    While may can be used in a scenario signaling possibility, it is primarily used in the context of signaling permission to do something. Considering the context, I believe that might is the correct choice here.

    jonatack commented at 9:03 pm on March 4, 2021:
    I prefer “may” and disagree with the comment that it is primarily about permission instead of possibiity; both are auxiliary definitions of the word and it’s clear that the context here is about possibility.

    @jonatack you’re right

    Thanks for documenting the refactors, small NIT on word choice.

    Would you mind suggesting any improvements here? Since it is here? Then once ready - I can push it to bitcoin/bitcoin :)

    Many people, whose review could be valuable, could just miss this discussion due to the fact that the GUI repo has its own notifications (btw, that was one of the reasons to split Bitcoin Core repo – do not bother ppl with notifications they are not much interested in).
