request: check/restore/repair outputs from specific block number or timestamp

[aleqx]

The chain has grown and doing a wallet check now takes a little while (depends on the CPU as well). Would it be possible to add an option to check a wallet starting from a specific block number (as well as a timestamp, or relative time like 10d for 10 days)? I admit I haven't yet read the tech details of Grin to know if this is possible in Grin as it is in Bitcoin or other protocols.

Grin wallet doesn’t download all blocks, simply speaking it checks all unspent coins (utxo).

I know it doesn't, but it starts checking from the first block all the time. I was asking about an option to start from a more recent block (like you can do in Monero for example)

Agreed, we're intending to rework how the wallet updates itself for 3.0.0, so this should be included

[lehnberg]

This issue will be resolved as part of #244, which is targeted for v3.0.0

[yeastplume]

This is implemented in v3.0.0, see the description of start_block_height for grin-wallet scan in #262
