Unable to complete wallet seed verification if socks proxy cannot connect
Closed this issue · 3 comments
Description
During initial setup of new wallet, user is unable to complete wallet seed verification if socks proxy cannot connect
Version
Latest
Steps to reproduce
During initial wallet creation, specify a socks proxy and input a hostname such as "bitcoin". Create new wallet. During final verification of seed (select word 4) the app will not continue due to "You are not connected to the internet. Please connect and retry."
Expected behaviour
App should verify the seed without requiring an internet connection or without requiring the socks proxy to connect
Actual behaviour
App requires user to return to the initial screen, abandoning seed, to remove socks proxy before validating new seed to continue.
Screenshots
GUI shows part of attempted new seed during error message, skipping due to abundance of caution ;-)
Device or machine
iOS / iphone 8

The app doesn't need internet connection to verify the seed but to register as a new user to the service. Specifying an invalid proxy doesn't allow you to complete the process. We are thinking of adding a proxy ping to notify this to users before starting the onboarding/login.
Generally issues remain open until resolved.
