While I believe a warning in general isn't a bad thing, I'm wondering about:\r\n\r\n1. Should this warning be shown on mainnet, testnet and regtest or only mainnet?\r\n2. Should this warning be refined, e.g. with softer language?\r\n3.

If anything I stand by making it even *more* scary.\r\n\r\nFor me this ties into the default wallet discussion.  Omni Core is unlike any other 'alt'coin/wallet.  By using our software you are not just talking about your Omni tokens, but also putting all of your Bitcoins in Omni's hands by default (a situation I am still against).\r\n\r\nExample scenario - I have 200 Bitcoins in my local wallet.  I download and run OmniCore.  I thus put all of those Bitcoins at the mercy of a bug in OmniCore (and for Joe Q User may not have any clue that OmniCore even has access to their Bitcoins without such a warning).  Thus, yep I do kind of want to really drive the point home that this is extremely new software and somewhat experimental.  We're effectively asking users to put their Bitcoins in the hands of code that has never seen end user usage before & trust that everything is going to be OK.\r\n\r\nNow for those of us with half a brain, 200 BTC should be in cold storage not in a local QT wallet but I use it as the example to drive the point home - while there is no segregation of Bitcoin and Omni wallet files and no tangible history of end user usage to give us N level of confidence in its safety, is not the responsible thing to err on the side of caution, and make sure the user knows all this?\r\n\r\nIt's been on the back burner, but FYI I'd intended to push for an expansion of the warning (since it doesn't actually make it clear enough at all in my book that your Bitcoins are accessible to and will by used by OmniCore).  We just talk about 'wallets', and for the regular end user they may well assume just like pretty much any other QT wallet out there, that OmniCore uses its own wallet file which is not the case.\r\n\r\nTL:DR; separate the wallets and I wouldn't care if we slimmed the message to a single line, but as long as we insist on using the users existing Bitcoin wallet for the sake of 'convenience', I'll always be on the side of making sure users know what's up - it's the responsible thing to do IMO.\r\n\r\nOpen to debate of course :) but being open, transparent, truthful and making sure our users have all the information to hand is of critical importance to me.\r\n\r\nThanks\r\nZ"}}
