In kivy, if the user enabled fx rates but did not touch the fx history settings,
the GUI would show that history rates are enabled but in fact they would be disabled:
the GUI called fx.get_history_config(default=True) when displaying the checkbox,
but exchange_rate.py would not fetch history rates.
(it would only get fixed if the user touched the fx history checkbox)
Note: FxThread.run() calls fx.show_history(), which calls fx.get_history_config() without arguments.
some basic sanity checks
Previously if the server sent back a malformed response, it could partially corrupt a wallet file.
(as sometimes the response would get persisted, and issues would only arise later when the values were used)
fixes#6306
scenario: confirm tx dialog open, not enough funds (but only due to fees),
user clicks advanced, dialog half-empty.
note: the preview dialog is only half-empty if it never managed to create a tx.
if it did but it cannot now due to the current fee settings, then it will just
show that fee is too high (red text, buttons disabled) and show the last tx with the prev fee
ServerProxy does not seem to be thread-safe.
For e.g. a 2of3 multisig wallet, which would send two messages,
one msg would get sent but the other might error out. See trace:
