Wow! All fixed on 2.7.7
Amazing reactivity, devs reachable on irc #electrum, I'm impressed!
Keep up the good work, Electrum is definitely the best btc client.
Thank you

Hi

Ran into unusual error today sending btc from Electrum 2.7.6 (Win7 and Raspbian, same issue):

'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0x90 in position 1: ordinal not in range(128)

Why? How to fix?

This issue has already been spotted:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31491494/python-error-ascii-codec-cant-decode-byte-0x90-in-position-11-ordinal-not-in

0x90 is indeed out of range for ASCII, which only covers 0x00 to 0x7f

Thanks
