Wallet of Satoshi. Some troubles revealed

Wallet of Satoshi
App Version 3.3.6 (352), iOS 26.6

This complements the information from the WoS official website and I think may be useful to those who also encounter similar problems.

The custodial wallet runs with a direct connection with the Belarusian IP address. But the self-custodial wallet only runs via VPN! And I couldn't switch the wallet to non-custodial wallet without VPN.

Custodial Wallet

Switch between custodial and self-custodial wallet without VPN freezes at three-quarters part.

---

Self-custodial Wallet

Wallet of Satoshi stuck without VPN at startup during Syncing... at three quarters.
If self-custodial wallet was once initialized it is possible to return to custodial wallet by menu.

If self-custodial wallet was not once initialized on device, this state of the application can only be overcome either by restoring the self-custodial wallet of Satoshi, if it was already once created before, or by reinstalling the application.
Force-closing the app and restarting leads to nothing new, the app starts in the same state.

No or lost VPN

1. For example, if the connection requires VPN, Wallet of Satoshi displays a message: "Recovery Failed! Please check your 12 words and try again."
Green color indicates that the words are correct, there is a connection problem.
Turn on the VPN before starting the wallet recovery. If this status happened, the VPN will not help, restart WoS.
2. Red and green colors in the font can serve as a clue for an attacker while words brute force.

If the VPN connection is dropped or you disconnect, Wallet of Satoshi gives out the message: "A network error occured. Please check your connection."
The message disappears when the VPN is restored.

Switching from WoS Custody Wallet to Self-custodial wallet without VPN stuck the app on the Finalizing... at the eleventh of twelve parts of circle.

This is a curiosity component demonstrates, what can be made of Delphi forms and control elements.
This is another note for Delphi code modernization trend
Changes in TTitleBar by Valient Newman in an attempt to revive an old project and to make the component meet the requirements of Delphi 6 and higher.
Corrections were tested in Delphi 2007, 2009 environment. Date last modified by Newman: January 30, 2025
Checked in in Delphi 2007, 2009
Updated January 30, 2025
