Prerequisites

  • I have searched for existing issues that already suggest this feature.

Describe the Feature Request

This new feature will add three useful tools for the user to the "Actions" menu:

  1. Check the total amount received by a specific address on the Bitcoin blockchain:
    Using the bitcoin-cli command: getreceivedbyaddress "address" 0

  2. Check the detailed status of a transaction:
    Using the bitcoin-cli command: gettransaction "txid"

  3. Broadcast a transaction:
    Using the bitcoin-cli command: sendrawtransaction hex

A simple interface could be used: just an input frame with the command response displayed directly below it.

Describe the Use Case

The use case is mainly for those who don't have the resources to run a full node, so a pruned node is used instead. As a result, their own instance of Mempool doesn't work, and these three useful tools can't be accessed in a private manner.

Describe Preferred Solution

The intent behind actions isn't re-create the CLI in the StartOS GUI, but rather to expose frequently used shell commands such as deleting the peers.dat when it gets corrupted, or starting Bitcoin Core in reindex mode. Ideally a well designed Bitcoin Core GUI would support this functionality. But to my knowledge such a package does not exist yet - if it did, it would likely get added to the bitcoind-startos package.

That said, if there is sufficient demand/interest in exposing these CLI commands as Actions, they can absolutely be added; this issue can be kept open for people to ack the concept.
