| Summary | 0006540: generate more info for insufficient balance on exchange/auditor mismatch | ||||
| Description | In the "insufficient-balance" response, the wallet should additionally return: (1) The current available balance in the requested currency (2) The current available balance that the merchant would effectively accept considering auditor/exchange acceptance (3) List of accepted exchanges and auditors This should be sufficient to generate less confusing error messages when there is an auditor/exchange mismatch for the same currency. | ||||

I am not sure the above would be less confusing. I propose something simpler: *if* there is no auditor, then when reporting these kinds of issues, we always write ${CURRENCY}-${EXCHANGE_URL} to properly identify the exchange that issued the currency (for the amount held by the wallet). Similarly, for merchants, we should add the list of accepted exchanges (or auditors) as you propose. For *audited* currencies (exchange or merchant) we should very explicitly include text in the error message that points out that the set of trusted auditors does not intersect. |

Regarding unaudited/regional currencies: Agreed, we've already discussed this and it's tracked in 0006448, but scheduled post-0.8 For audited currencies, I can simply improve the error message text, and give both sets (merchant-trusted and wallet-trusted auditors for the currency) in the "insufficient-balance" response. So I guess I agree, the additional balance info isn't really required. |
