Class WalletFiles


  • public class WalletFiles
    extends java.lang.Object
    A class that handles atomic and optionally delayed writing of the wallet file to disk. In future: backups too. It can be useful to delay writing of a wallet file to disk on slow devices where disk and serialization overhead can come to dominate the chain processing speed, i.e. on Android phones. By coalescing writes and doing serialization and disk IO on a background thread performance can be improved.
