Adding the capability to propagate specific error messages from the Coin Selection process to the user. Instead of always returning the general "Insufficient funds" message which is not always accurate to what happened internally. Letting us instruct the user how to proceed under certain circumstances. The following error messages were added: 1) If the selection result exceeds the maximum transaction weight, we now will return: -> "The inputs size exceeds the maximum weight. Please try sending a smaller amount or manually consolidating your wallet's UTXOs". 2) If the user pre-selected inputs and disallowed the automatic coin selection process (no other inputs are allowed), we now will return: -> "The preselected coins total amount does not cover the transaction target. Please allow other inputs to be automatically selected or include more coins manually". 3) The double-counted preset inputs during Coin Selection error will now throw an "internal bug detected" message instead of crashing the node. The essence of this work comes from several comments: 1. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/26560#discussion_r1037395665 2. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/25729#discussion_r940619491 3. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/25269#pullrequestreview-1135240825 4. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/23144 (which is connected to #24845) ACKs for top commit: ishaanam: crACK 76dc547ee7b05864e7b1b6c55fc0301d47aa3a15 achow101: ACK 76dc547ee7b05864e7b1b6c55fc0301d47aa3a15 aureleoules: ACK 76dc547ee7b05864e7b1b6c55fc0301d47aa3a15 theStack: ACK 76dc547ee7b05864e7b1b6c55fc0301d47aa3a15 🌇 Tree-SHA512: 9de30792d7a5849cae77747aa978e70390b66ee9d082779a56088a024f82e725b0af050e6603aece0ac8229f6d73bc471ba97b4ab69dc7eddf419f5f56ae89a5
This directory contains the source code for the Bitcoin Core graphical user interface (GUI). It uses the Qt cross-platform framework.
The current precise version for Qt 5 is specified in qt.mk.
Compile and run
See build instructions: Unix, macOS, Windows, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD
When following your systems build instructions, make sure to install the Qt dependencies.
To run:
./src/qt/bitcoin-qt
Files and Directories
forms/
- A directory that contains Designer UI files. These files specify the characteristics of form elements in XML. Qt UI files can be edited with Qt Creator or using any text editor.
locale/
- Contains translations. They are periodically updated and an effort is made to support as many languages as possible. The process of contributing translations is described in doc/translation_process.md.
res/
- Contains graphical resources used to enhance the UI experience.
test/
- Functional tests used to ensure proper functionality of the GUI. Significant changes to the GUI code normally require new or updated tests.
bitcoingui.(h/cpp)
- Represents the main window of the Bitcoin UI.
*model.(h/cpp)
- The model. When it has a corresponding controller, it generally inherits from QAbstractTableModel. Models that are used by controllers as helpers inherit from other Qt classes like QValidator.
- ClientModel is used by the main application
bitcoinguiand several models likepeertablemodel.
*page.(h/cpp)
- A controller.
:NAMEpage.cppgenerally includes:NAMEmodel.handforms/:NAME.page.uiwith a similar:NAME.
*dialog.(h/cpp)
- Various dialogs, e.g. to open a URL. Inherit from QDialog.
paymentserver.(h/cpp)
- (Deprecated) Used to process BIP21 payment URI requests. Also handles URI-based application switching (e.g. when following a bitcoin:... link from a browser).
walletview.(h/cpp)
- Represents the view to a single wallet.
Other .h/cpp files
- UI elements like BitcoinAmountField, which inherit from QWidget.

Using Qt Creator as an IDE
Qt Creator is a powerful tool which packages a UI designer tool (Qt Designer) and a C++ IDE into one application. This is especially useful if you want to change the UI layout.
Download Qt Creator
On Unix and macOS, Qt Creator can be installed through your package manager. Alternatively, you can download a binary from the Qt Website.
Note: If installing from a binary grabbed from the Qt Website: During the installation process, uncheck everything except for Qt Creator.
macOS
brew install qt-creator
Ubuntu & Debian
sudo apt-get install qtcreator
