The Issue

Breaking out issues discussed (mostly by me) from https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-app/issues/214

Publishing with an identity results in 2 claim resolutions: lbry://@channelname/claim and lbry://claim but the bidding process at the non-channel resolution is not correct.

When going into the Publish screen and selecting a channel from the dropdown, it is appended to the URL and shows that lbry://@channelname/one is available, which it is, but lbry://one may not be (has higher bid, etc). I think we should make this clearer in the UI and show the current bid at the vanity URL (related to https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-app/issues/631) in case the user wants to outbid it (optional).

Steps to reproduce

Go to Publish, select identity, type one in URL
Shows one is available

Expected behaviour

LBRY app would show that the vanity URL would need a higher bid to overtake it (optional)

Actual behaviour

Shows that the claim name is available

System Configuration

LBRY Daemon version: 0.16.1
LBRY App version: 0.16.
LBRY Installation ID:
Operating system: Windows

Anything Else
