The Electrum website has been updated for version 2.0: https://electrum.org
Windows and OSX executables will be added soon.

I had a problem with Animazing's signature of electrum-2.0.2-setup.exe. I did not have a problem with Animazing's signature of electrum-2.0.2.exe so I don't believe this relates to my PGP software.

Sorry about that, I've remade the binaries at one point to fix a problem with Trezor support. Could you try downloading the signature again now and seeing if it fits?

The new version fixed the signature problem. Thanks.

2.0 has been tagged!
see https://twitter.com/ElectrumWallet/status/572020854567149568

Pardon my confusion. I don't use Twitter. What's "tagged"?

It's more a github term than a twitter term, it just means the source code has been finalized and the installers are just around the corner.

Congrats!!

While we're waiting for the Electrum 2.0 official release I was wondering... Will Electrum 2.0 have a "portable" version or mode? When I travel I like to have my wallet on a USB drive.

On debian 7 I get the following errors:

- When restoring a wallet using the command line the restore is successful but I get an assert error.

Quote

Exception in thread Thread-2 (most likely raised during interpreter shutdown):
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 552, in __bootstrap_inner
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/electrum/verifier.py", line 115, in run
: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'Empty'

- I've installed the python-zbar package. Clicking tools > load transaction > from qr code leads to an error the first time I do it:

Quote

"ERROR: zbar processor in _zbar_video_open():
system error: opening video device '/dev/video0': No such file or directory (2)"

Second time it causes a segmentation fault and electrum crashes.

you need to create a special wallet, that will contain only imported keys.
see https://electrum.orain.org/wiki/Frequently_Asked_Questions#Can_I_import_addresses_from_other_Bitcoin_clients.3F

Could you guys explain the reasoning behind this? I'm going to stick with 1.9.8 for now, because I have some imported addresses that are important to me.

I haven't looked at the code but at a quick guess I'd assume this is related to the change to HD wallets/BIP32. From the answer to the item you linked, "you cannot import addresses in a wallet that has a seed. You need to create a special wallet, that does not have a seed" -- the seed creates deterministic addresses in an HD/BIP32 wallet. So to handle the import of one-off addresses they have taken the route that you need a separate, non-HD wallet to hold them.

Here are some notes from my preliminary tests on the new beta.

There is still an error on start up with the C Runtime Library loading correctly:

Any other output? Does the terminal window open at all? Kinda hard to debug this error without more output.

If this error window pops up, clicking in the error window will dismiss it and electrum will run OK. This can happen with Windows 7 or 8.1. If msvcr90.dll is in the electrum directory (or on the user's path) certain versions will cause an error when running the beta. I could find no rime or reason for which versions worked and which ones gave the warning. I have more than two dozen versions of this .dll on my system and some work and some do not. It does not seem to correlate to the program version number, file size or file modification date.

Will 2.0 support BIP39 ?

And does anyone here know the deterministic path for electrum? Before looking at the code, I'm just gunna guess it's m/0'/0/0 or something similar Grin

Additionally when I try to set up a proxy so that Electrum runs through TOR using "localhost" and port 9050 I get the following recursive error. Please note that TOR is working perfectly with all other applications.

I'm running Windows 7 Premium Home Edition.

Awesome! Just when I was going to go back and re-download the new .zip file, I see there is a new Windows executable! Yay!! Now all we need is a changelog so we can see what was done! (hint hint)

That's good news! Were you successful in installing setup tools and Electrum?

Tip: If you find line like ImportError: No module named setuptools. Copy the last word and search in Google, i.e., setuptools python.

As in: can I use it for my "main" wallet, or would that be a security risk I rather shouldn't take?

What exactly is the Encrypt/Decrypt message function and how is it supposed to work? I've played with it but I can't seem to get it to do anything.

You can encrypt a message with the private key of an address in your wallet

Thanks for the answer but what is the purpose of doing so?

It works like PGP. I hope you're familiar with it. If someone want to send you a message and he thinks others will somehow see it, he can encrypt it with your public key. So only you can decrypt the message and see it as you have the private key of the address. Two additional features to signing and verifying messages. I hope you understand!

Got it! Thanks! I've been using PGP since it's inception so I'm well familiar with it. Hence my interest in this feature.

I've just done some testing and my alternative server (Jelectrum) seems to work with 2.0b2 without issue.

There are some new (and old) methods that my server doesn't support, but 2.0b2 doesn't seem to call them:

blockchain.address.listunspent
blockchain.address.get_balance
blockchain.address.get_proof
blockchain.address.get_mempool
blockchain.utxo.get_address

Hi,

My wallet is stuck in "Synchronizing". Any idea?? I already restarted it and tried to use different servers.

Is there any specific port number I should connect to? Currently it says "50001" eventhough is in auto-connect.

Thanks

Please don't make two similar posts.

Try to connect to a server manually. There was no such problem for me.

There is no proper command, because I don't want to encourage users doing that.
But you can do this in the python console:

Code:

Some plugins are be greyed out because they are not available for your current wallet; you need to create a new wallet for them.
For example, Trezor or two factor authentication require special wallets.
