Bounty: Resolve Core Update Issue


## Retro

This bug was blocking submission of new versions of the app and it was labeled `critical`. In fact, the problem took 158 days to resolve. In the history of Litewallet, this has been the biggest blockage in the release lifecycle. The problem was resolved [here](https://github.com/litecoin-foundation/litewallet-ios/pull/211/commits/f200ecc3a8c36eb4a98a2cc126745c6eaf5f8445).

### Problem

When updating the loafwallet-core module / library the address is failing a UnsafeUnmutablePointer when the opening the history of transactions.

As a result, the sent and receive addresses are showing as normal if they are `LNgqTxjWxmjsULeugZd7ee6wwVFsVGkz4js` **but** `ltc1qrledc2grd0lvluvcn388szkjhxllqmtyzr37rxn` or `M` or ltc1 addresses are not showing.

The issue is the standard of UnsafeUnmutablePointers has changed over the few years so the way to properly handle has changed.

### Positives

- The data is there in the database (SQLite) and the ltc1 addresses are present.
- The rest of the app is behaving normally

### Snapshot

### Delving Into the Core Issue

The heart of the matter lies in the display of certain types of addresses within the transaction history. The regular addresses are shown as expected, but others (specifically those with ltc1, M or ltc1 prefixes) are not visible. The suspected root cause circles back to changes in the standard of handling UnsafeMutablePointers.

### Bounty Objectives:

**- Investigate and Understand**: Scrutinize the existing setup of loafwallet-core and its interaction with Litewallet-iOS, particularly around Transaction.swift class line 174.

**- Identify and Fix**: Address the exact cause of the UnsafeMutablePointer failure, implement necessary changes to rectify the unwrapping of addresses, ensuring all types of addresses are displayed correctly in the app.

**- Validation and Verification**: Conduct thorough testing to ensure the problem is resolved with no regression issues, and the rest of the app functions as desired.

**- Documentation**: Create clear and comprehensive documentation outlining the changes made, ensuring future developers understand the modifications.

### Skills and Expertise Required:

- Proficiency in C, Swift, and SQLite.
- Familiarity with loafwallet-core library.
- Experience in iOS app development.

### Reward and Recognition:

- You will be rewarded from the LTC donated to the bounty.
- First successful submission wins the bounty
- Your contribution will significantly impact the Litewallet user experience, making a direct positive impression on a global user base.

### The Road Ahead:

Is the idea of making a substantial difference in the cryptocurrency wallet space exciting? Are you up for the challenge to enhance Litewallet's functionality and user experience?

## Enhancing Litecoin with Mimblewimble Extension Blocks (MWEB)

MWEB, inspired by the Mimblewimble protocol, enhances Litecoin by achieving two critical goals:

**Confidential Transactions:** MWEB introduces confidential transactions, concealing transfer amounts for heightened privacy and protection against certain types of spam attacks.

**Scalability Improvement:** MWEB addresses blockchain scalability by efficiently pruning old transaction data, reducing blockchain size, and ensuring a more scalable network.

Mimblewimble Extension Blocks work alongside the main blockchain, accommodating confidential transactions and pruning, while maintaining compatibility with existing wallets and services. This enhances interoperability and security without compromising Litecoin's robustness.

By leveraging Mimblewimble, MWEB strengthens Litecoin's privacy and scalability, advancing its overall efficiency and security.

#MWEB


MWEB improves privacy and scalability on the Litecoin blockchain. Based on the Mimblewimble protocol, it promises confidential transactions and efficient pruning. We need YOUR support for its continued development.

MWEB improves privacy and scalability on the Litecoin blockchain. It leverages the Mimblewimble protocol to enable confidential transactions, which obscure the amounts being transferred, while also allowing for the pruning of old data from the blockchain, thus improving scalability.
