Hi Three minor security/other issues:
1. please a way to unlock the wallet without displaying wallet password in console screen (console unlock wallet, to import priv key); or 2. a button to import a private key (and option to transfer it to another key - if you are not the sole controller the private key) 3. a UX way to transfer BTC off a specific adress (eg choose from address), rather than having to spend the entire wallet onto a new address, just to get BTC off a specific address. Doing it that way has problems: creates more network traffic/bigger packets, higher fees (if any transactions are young/low confirmation), and generally damages privacy as all your funds end up linked. Stop reading here if thats clear.. below is how those scenarios happened which I think are common enough. So someone sent me a small BTC donation by emailing me the private key, as I had no bitcoin address. So naturally I need to move the funds off the private key, or they could spend it under me. I had another small amount on a self-controlled private key in the wallet via a reddit tip (.05BTC tip payed to self-controlled key became .0498BTC). So I went through the debug->console unlock wallet (password in cleartext on screen? yuck), then importpriv key, process and that worked, though not particularly intuitive - could do with an "import key" button? Then I wanted to take the .01 BTC off the private key and the FAQs etc seem to suggest that the only way to do it is to spend our entire balance (from all keys) onto a new address. Not exactly what I wanted, but I did it anyway and the tx fee goes up from .0001 which I set it to to .0005 because the transaction was young, to avoid network flooding. Even though transaction I actually wanted to move (on the non self-controlled key had a big heap of confirmations and so could've been .0001 tx fee). Would be kind of handy to be able to select the key to empty without having to empty the entire wallet into a new key... (Smaller transaction KB on the network, less fees for the user, less confusing). Maybe theres a way to do it, eg via the console again, but I didnt find it; and it's surely common enough that it could do with being another button or right click option. eg I could've setup another wallet instance but thats rather indirect.
