Just went back through my transactions using the block explorer and it appears that when I’ve sent coins it’s been spending my oldest coins first. Obviously in proof of stake this sucks! I really want coin control ASAP. How much would a reasonable bounty for this be?
I second this. That would be a huge improvement.
I don’t know: Isn’t there some open-source alternative Bitcoin client with this feature where the code could be used? Armory and Multibit, for example, have Coin control? The problem would be that they use other programming languages, but with the concept existing it would be easier to adapt, I think.
A coin control version of bitcoin has already been produced. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=144331.0
I tried adapting Armory for TRC as the BTC and TRC code very similar… but ran into all sorts of issues and never got it finished… PPC Armory would be even more work, but would be lovely to have… one day i guess i’ll crack it or someone else will!!
The coin control client has been ported to Yacoin some time ago. As Yacoin is a PPC fork it should’nt be hard to port it to PPCoin.

In the bitcointalk thread I saw it had a bug which affected very few users (I think it was only a single user) so it should be developed as a separate “experimental” client, not as the official one.
Don’t know about coin control, but I might add a new command ‘sendtoaddressfrom’ such that you could specify which addresses the fund should come from. This is not specifically for preserving coin age, it’s meant to improve the privacy control of the client. getbalance would be updated in this mode so you could see how much balance is associated with each address.
I call this the ‘avatar’ mode as each address can be thought of as an avatar.

Are you looking to implement this in the next client version?
