Topic: Couple of problems with newest electrum version (Read 353 times)

EDIT: Just an update. The error 1) could be fixed after I found the cert directory and deleted all files in there. Then I could send. This solves already a good bunch of problems with my wallets. Still the interpretation of the multisig tx does not yet work. New install and everything.

Also I found that the address and coins tab stays visible after a restart.

EDIT 2: The problem with the scrambled tx could be solved by recreating the wallets of both cosigners from seed.

Thanks for the answer.
1) I think it could have stayed in the address tab also. The coins tab is not so easy to overview when you do have more than a handful active addresses. I also miss the "send from" in the address tab. Why taking the work to take it out?
2) I found that out but I would have preferred to have the address tab enabled from the start without having to enable it at every start
3) If I have to delete a cert then I do not know which certificat I would have to delete. Can it be seen in the error message?
4) I can use the slider or set it manual but for knowing which fee to chose it would be needed to know how big the transaction would be. That's not possible that way. Or only with a click on preview.
5) I will send Thomas a pm, maybe he can help me out.

This feature was moved to coins tab: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/master/RELEASE-NOTES#L14


Press Ctrl+A to see the addresses tab.
Also from toolbad Wallet > Addresses and also Wallet > Coins

Sorry have never seen this error before. But I have found this similar issue: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/1556

You can set the fee (brc/kb) with the slider or set a manual fee from the text box.


Thomas checks this board.
You can also open an issue on GitHub if you find a bug: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/new

Too bad it was removed. I would like the dynamic fees a bit more if there were more steps to chose from but it somehow choses a working fee, yes.

Do not know also why addresses can't be frozen in address tab anymore also.

Would appreciate if someone knows the answers to the errors...

You can freeze/unfreeze from the Coins tab now, you can't do this from the address tab any longer.

Then I found that I can not edit the fees anymore in the settings. Which is unfortunate since I like to set it up by btc/kB or similar. I mean one can't see how big a transation is bytewise. Only on preview window later on.


You can enable the "Edit fees manually" in preferences but they removed the manual sat/byte feature in new versions. The Dynamic Fees feature is the preferred method and is usually pretty good at estimating fees.

Hello,

I didn't update for some time now and installed the newest versions now.

Now I have a problem.

I can not send a transaction because I receive this error message:



The address was frozen by me in a previous version. However there is no option anymore to unfreeze it now.

1) How can I enable freeze/unfreeze on address tab again?
2) How can I enable that the addresses are shown from the start?

I found that I can unfreeze an address in Coins tab. Though it's still the same error.

3) What is this error and how to solve it?

Then I found that I can not edit the fees anymore in the settings. Which is unfortunate since I like to set it up by btc/kB or similar. I mean one can't see how big a transation is bytewise. Only on preview window later on.

4) How to edit the fees in setting by sat/byte or something similar?

Another problem, which might come from the new version also, is worse. It's about 1.5b I want to send. But I have the coins in a multisig 2 of 2. I wanted to send coins from it. The code looks like it was created correctly after one signed the transaction and sent it to me. When checking the content in https://blockchain.info/de/decode-tx then the input is correct. https://blockchain.info/unspent?active shows the right input. Though when I import it into my electrum then the transaction shows a completely unrelated and empty bitcoinaddress as the source. As a result I have a transaction in my wallet that gave me free money from an empty address, it sent out the 1.5b and put the rest back in my sending address, which should be the sender in reality. So even though I sent coins I received coins at the end. Theoretically since of course it does not get a confirmation.
It goes the same way when I sign first and the cosigner tries to send. We first thought it's a display error but electrum is really trying to do it this way.

5) Well... how can this be? I would appreciate if some dev could check this out with me.

Thanks!
Sebastian
