Description

Fixes altpayment="BTC" buttons.

If the customer could choose the amount (editable="true", or no amount set),
the widget got stuck on "Loading SideShift..." forever: it was waiting for an
order nobody had requested. It now shows the rate and an amount box in BTC.

Typing an amount was broken too. The typed value was written back to the button
amount in the wrong unit, so it grew every time it round-tripped, and the order
was built from that inflated number instead of the input. 0.0001 BTC came back
as "Amount too high". The order now uses what was typed.

Smaller things in here: SideShift steps time out after 25s with an error instead
of spinning forever, an unknown coin ticker falls back to the coin picker, a bad
to= address shows "Invalid Recipient" instead of the button vanishing, and the
Uncaught (in promise) Error: Invalid address prefix. in the console is gone
(the API can return the tx address as an object; the widget now handles both).

Test plan

yarn watch, then http://localhost:10001/index.html:

  1. Pay with BTC (fixed amount): lands on "Send Bitcoin for eCash" with a
    deposit address, amount, QR and shift ID.
  2. Pay with BTC (editable): loading screen straight to the rate + amount box,
    no coin/network dropdown flashing by. Same with no amount set.
  3. Type 0.0001 there and send: order is for exactly 0.0001 BTC. Check both
    currency="XEC" and currency="USD".
  4. Dead ws-base-url: after 25s you get "Could not reach SideShift" + Back.
  5. to="15Etyxpus9UeLSvpkmdBDqp7tVz7F6EcBe": button renders with
    "Invalid Recipient" under it.
  6. Switch tabs and come back with a button open: no console errors.

SideShift's minimum is around US$10, below that the button stays disabled with
"Amount is below minimum". Use ~3,000,000 XEC for a real order.

Some API versions return the transaction address (and each input address) as a
nested object instead of a plain string. That object was copied straight into
Transaction.address, and the next address parse threw "Invalid address prefix.",
which surfaced on the host page as an uncaught promise rejection whenever the
widget re-checked the transaction history (for instance on tab focus).

Normalize the address as soon as it arrives, fall back to the queried address
when the API sends none, and stop a failing transaction handler from rejecting
unhandled.

A failing chronik connection rejected inside an unawaited async effect, which
both showed up as an uncaught error on the host page and skipped the SideShift
socket setup entirely. Log the failure instead and carry on with the altpayment
connection, which does not depend on chronik.

With a preselected coin the widget went straight to the "Loading SideShift..."
screen and waited for a shift, but the automatic rate/quote requests were
skipped whenever the amount was editable — which is also the case for buttons
with no amount at all. The result was a spinner that never resolved.

Editable buttons now request the rate as soon as the coin is preselected and
show the amount form (prefilled with the converted amount, labelled with the
deposit coin) instead of the automatic loading screen. An unrecognized ticker
falls back to the regular coin selector, and every SideShift step gives up with
an error message instead of spinning forever when the service never answers.

Covers the case where the user types the BTC amount instead of paying a fixed
one, which previously never left the loading screen.

A mistyped or non-eCash/BCH address made getCurrencyTypeFromAddress throw while
rendering, so the whole button vanished from the page with an "Invalid currency"
error in the console — even though both PayButton and Widget already have an
"Invalid Recipient" message for exactly this case.

Components now fall back to a default ticker when the address cannot be parsed
and let that message render.

Typing an amount fed the converted settle amount back into the button amount,
which for fiat buttons is denominated in the fiat currency: the value grew on
every round trip, and the quote — built from that derived value rather than from
the input — asked SideShift for a wildly larger deposit ("Amount too high.
Maximum deposit amount: …") on a perfectly valid amount.

The quote now uses the typed amount directly, and the widget converts the settle
amount back into the button currency before updating it.

Also stop the coin/network pickers from flashing by before the rate arrives when
the coin is preselected, and drop the back button that pointed at a coin step
that does not exist in that case.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds fallback-aware currency detection and API address normalization. It updates editable SideShift flows with validation, loading timeouts, and selection handling. Widgets and payment buttons now handle connection and transaction errors without uncaught rejections.

Changes

Address handling and currency fallback

Layer / File(s) Summary
Address normalization and currency fallback
react/lib/util/address.ts, react/lib/util/api-client.ts, react/lib/tests/util/api-client.test.ts
API addresses are normalized from strings or nested objects. Missing transaction addresses fall back to the queried address. Invalid address currency detection falls back to XEC or a supplied currency.

Editable SideShift flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Editable SideShift flow
react/lib/components/Widget/AltpaymentWidget.tsx, react/lib/altpayment/sideshift.ts, react/lib/tests/components/AltpaymentWidget.test.tsx, paybutton/dev/demo/index.html
Editable amounts use validated typed values. Preselected and unknown coins control loading and manual selection. Coin, rate, and shift stages report connection errors after 25 seconds. The demo includes an editable BTC payment button.

Widget and payment resilience

Layer / File(s) Summary
Widget and payment resilience
react/lib/components/PayButton/PayButton.tsx, react/lib/components/Widget/Widget.tsx, react/lib/components/Widget/WidgetContainer.tsx, react/lib/tests/components/PayButton.test.tsx
Currency detection uses fallbacks. Chronik and transaction errors are logged. Child widgets skip Chronik setup. Altpayment settlement amounts convert to fiat once using price. Invalid recipients remain rendered with an error.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2f811

The current implementation can leave an invalid recipient actionable and can write a BTC settlement amount into a fiat amount when no price is available; the editable-amount test also does not verify a changed typed value. These create concrete payment-flow and amount-correctness risks, so the PR is not merge-ready until the runtime issues are fixed and the regression test is strengthened.

Disable the control for an invalid recipient.

The fallback now lets an invalid to value continue through rendering. The existing invalid-recipient path shows Invalid Recipient but leaves the button enabled when to is present. A user can then open the dialog and start an alt-payment flow with an invalid settlement address.

Set disabled to true in the invalid-recipient branch. Extend react/lib/tests/components/PayButton.test.tsx to assert that the visible Donate button is disabled.

Do not write a settlement amount into a fiat field without a price.

If currency is fiat and price is 0, this function calls updateAmount(settleAmount). For example, an editable BTC quote can write 950000 XEC into a USD button amount. This also changes subsequent payment-ID and conversion state.

If currency is fiat and no valid price exists, return without updating the button amount. Only update fiat values after conversion with settleFloat * price.

Proposed fix
   const updateAmountFromAltpayment = (settleAmount: string) => {
     const settleFloat = +settleAmount
     if (settleAmount === '' || Number.isNaN(settleFloat)) {
       return
     }
-    if (isFiat(currency) && price) {
-      updateAmount((settleFloat * price).toFixed(DECIMALS.FIAT))
-    } else {
-      updateAmount(settleAmount)
+    if (isFiat(currency)) {
+      if (!price) {
+        return
+      }
+      updateAmount((settleFloat * price).toFixed(DECIMALS.FIAT))
+      return
     }
+    updateAmount(settleAmount)
   }

Use an amount different from the prefilled amount.

This test sets and expects 0.0001, which is also the amount derived from thisAmount={950000}. The test passes if createQuote still uses pairAmountFixedDecimals instead of the typed value.

Set the input to a different valid amount, such as 0.0002, and expect that value in depositAmount.
