Installation

1. Download the latest reviewed version.
2. Get the latest version of the Electron Cash code from github (make sure it has the Plugin Manager that allows addition of plugins).
3. Either select add plugin or drag the zip file onto the plugin manager window.
4. It will be installed, and enabled.

Security Warning

I, Roger Taylor (rt121212121), author of this plugin, affirm that there is no malicious code intentionally added by me to this plugin. Unless you read through every line of the code provided, this is the best you are going to get at this time. If you obtain this plugin from any other source than this github repository under my user name, then the safety of this plugin given my affirmation is worthless.

The reason this needs to be said, is that an enabled Electron Cash plugin has almost complete access and potential control over any wallets that are open. If a malicious author wished to, they could make you think you were sending payments to one address and redirect them anywhere they wanted. The possibilities are endless, due to the access a plugin has.

Usage

Once you have the plugin installed and enabled, you may attempt to use it.

1. Select the Scheduled Payments tab.
2. Right click in the list window, and select the New scheduled payment item.
3. A dialog will appear that allows you to construct a scheduled payment. It will estimate the next time that payment will be made, to help you visualise how your choice of when the payment will be made, will play out. Select Create when you have filled out all the fields.
4. Wait until that new payment's next payment time passes.

Known Issues

• The fake clock is not correctly hooked up to the payment scheduler. So it does work, but.. it's not obvious how it works. Note that due payments are only detected once every real time minute, at 1 second past each minute. But the time used for detection is always the current selected clock, whether real or fake.
• If you enter more than one address in the scheduled payment, who knows what will happen. Only one address is stored.
