simplewallet: update error message
What changed, and why it matters
This commit only changes a user-facing error message in the Monero command-line wallet. When the wallet cannot connect to the daemon, the message now tells the user whether they should be looking for a mainnet, testnet, or stagenet daemon. There is no security issue here.
No security action needed. Treat as a routine user-experience improvement.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The patch modifies simplewallet.cpp in the try_connect_to_daemon function. It replaces a plain English error string with a boost::format templated string that inserts ‘testnet ‘, ‘stagenet ‘, or an empty prefix based on m_wallet->nettype(). This is a pure UX/localization change with no functional, cryptographic, or network behavior changes.
