Anyone knows what happened and what changed to the 2.4.4 version please ? https://electrum.org/#download
There is nothing about it on the Github release notes : https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/master/RELEASE-NOTES , and since there is changes to the website should I assume that it got hacked Huh

ThomasV probably did not update that file. It is unlikely for a hack as ThomasV himself posted it here. Nevertheless, I recommend you to verify both executable and sources.

AFAIK you have to go online to get all the necessary files installed. When it starts up just create a dummy wallet for starters.

Once everything is running fine disconnect from the internet and never connect again. You can then delete the dummy wallet and setup your proper wallet.

Hi, i'm planning to install Electrum as cold wallet on my offline laptop running Ubuntu. However the installation instructions require me to connect this PC to internet in order to have Electrum installed:

Code:

sudo apt-get install python-qt4 python-pip
sudo pip install https://download.electrum.org/Electrum-2.4.4.tar.gz

Is there any executable for Linux/Ubuntu or alternative method to install without connecting offline PC to internet ?

@animazing: I experienced issues with the v2.4.3 OSX dmg package available at electrum.org - I can't create any new wallets (of any kind) with this version. The OSX zip file works fine (although a terminal command is required to start it - "python electrum"). I managed to work around this by following the new instructions provided at http://electrum.orain.org/wiki/Build_Electrum_on_Mac_OS_X.

can you give more details please?

Downloaded the standalone version but found that it does not work like the previous version (2.3.2) The previous version first checked the local folder to see whether the required files were present in that folder when it started up. The current version (2.4.3) does not do this and create new folders under Users\AppData (on Windows).

Can you guys perhaps look into this for the next release as this will make the standalone version a bit pointless if its going to 'insist' on having its data files on the main drive of the pc.

I was also unable to open any of my wallets but I guess this was because of no hardware wallet support being present in this version. All my wallets are trezor watch-only wallets.

Version 2.4.2 was released today, with OSX and Windows binaries.
See https://electrum.org/#download

However, hardware wallets (trezor, ledger) are not supported in the current Windows binaries.
If you use a hardware wallet, please wait until we have better binaries.

Thanks for this wonderful wallet.
Is there a portable version for 2.4.*?

Not yet released. Guess it will be out soon. As mentioned above, Electrum-LTC released version 2.4.2.1 in all configurations (installer, stand alone etc..) so assume Electrum-BTC will be short on its heals. Most probably some issues to be resolved as 2.4 (BTC) also have no Trezor support at the moment.

Correction, go to the link provided, see there is a standalone version for version 2.4.3 available

From the release notes:

Quote

# Release 2.4.3
* Support for KeepKey hardware wallet
* Simplified Chinese wordlist
* Minor bugfixes and GUI tweaks

https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/master/RELEASE-NOTES

Good to see guys, well done and thanks. Looking at getting a KeepKey.

Just downloaded and tested the latest Electrum-LTC 2.4.2.1 and must say I'm impressed.

Yes I know its not Electrum for btc but if its an indication of where Electrum-btc is heading then I'm happy.

See that Trezor is no longer a plugin but part of the code. Also, finally, the labels for the accounts inside the wallet is working on Windows. Hope this is resolved on Electrum with the next release.

Are there any co-operation between the two development teams i.e.for ltc and btc ?

...what's the difference between Standalone & Installer on the download page...

The 'Standalone' comes as a single exe file which you can copy onto a usb drive. You can run it from the USB drive and have all the data folders and wallet files on the drive as well.

The Installer is a Windows installer which will install Electrum for you i.e. create it in the Program Files directory together with the data folders in your AppsDirectory etc...

Damn , Finally Shocked

Thank you so much for our hard work ThomasV .
Just one question , what's the difference between Standalone & Installer on the download page ? I know portable is just the .exe ? but Isee that you removed it though

EDIT : Also is there is any place where we can throw suggestions etc ... to get added to the wallet ?

Thanks for the update Thomas.

Yes I've seen that the Trezor plugin is not working in 2.4.1. Will it be back in and functional in the next release?
