Vote Reveal - Silent Fail

[niyid]

I got this:

Oct-15 06:43:21.835 [JavaFX Application Thread] INFO  org.bitcoinj.wallet.Wallet: Completing send tx with 1 outputs totalling 0.00000596 BTC and a fee of 0.00 BTC/kB 
Oct-15 06:43:21.837 [JavaFX Application Thread] WARN  org.bitcoinj.wallet.Wallet: Insufficient value in wallet for send: needed 0.00001606 BTC more 
Oct-15 06:43:21.845 [JavaFX Application Thread] ERROR b.c.d.g.v.VoteRevealService: VoteRevealException{
     voteRevealTx=null,
     blindVoteTxId='3cf435e275b8e1518ea969fe90e0504bbed1d68135310b3c24546244fca90b5d',
     myVote=null
} bisq.core.dao.governance.votereveal.VoteRevealException: Exception at calling revealVote. 
Oct-15 06:43:24.448 [JavaFX Application Thread] INFO  b.c.d.m.DaoStateMonitoringService: Passed checkpoint Checkpoint {
     height=586920,
     hash=523aaad4e760f6ac6196fec1b3ec9a2f42e5b272
} 

Of course my BTC balance was vertically challenged (euphemism for "too low"). If I didn't catch the exception in the logs, I would never have known there was an issue. Once I topped up, and on application restart, vote was published and information pop-up displayed.

I expected the earlier issue to have been reported with a pop-up as well.

I will fix it.

Good catch, the silent error should definitely be fixed, but I think the bigger point is more educating new users. Basically if you want to participate in DAO governance, you can never let your BTC or BSQ balance fall to zero.

you can never let your BTC or BSQ balance fall to zero.

I am afraid, that is not a very user-friendly requirement. Users should be allowed to use software without being provided a stringent set of rules (much like babysitting); and be able to discover why it does not work in the expected manner for any use-case.
