<br>
Three minor security/other issues:<br>
<br>
1. please a way to unlock the wallet without displaying wallet password in<br>
console screen (console unlock wallet, to import priv key); or<br>
<br>
2. a button to import a private key (and option to transfer it to another<br>
key - if you are not the sole controller the private key)<br>
<br>
3. a UX way to transfer BTC off a specific adress (eg choose from<br>
address), rather than having to spend the entire wallet onto a new<br>
address, just to get BTC off a specific address. Doing it that way has<br>
problems: creates more network traffic/bigger packets, higher fees (if<br>
any transactions are young/low confirmation), and generally damages<br>
privacy as all your funds end up linked.<br></blockquote></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yes, sweep (send all the coins from this addresses to me) should certainly be added. Maybe even a way to do it periodically, though but that would require remembering the key. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Importing private keys into the wallet will not be added as a user-friendly option, as it is dangerous and potentially confusing.<div><br></div><div>As for (1), I think a better solution would to add a list of commands whose arguments are censored in the console screen and command line history. At least `importprivkey`, `walletpassphrase`, `walletpassphrasechange` should likely be in that list.<br>
