I am quite sure I got the same message on Electrum 3.3.8 a few days earlier. It is related to this vulnerability which has been fixed in the Ledger Live and Bitcoin app update. Third-party software needs to be updated as well (see #6230). Your friend might have not updated his device. Here are the photos you asked for.

I see, thanks. I was kinda confused before but now I get it. You're right, he's using the old version of the apps and that's why there' no pop-up saying unverified inputs.

Can you share some screenshots next time this shows up? One of my friends said he didn't get this notification while using his Nano X with Electrum 3.3.8, and it's my first time hearing about this too. Does this mean Nano X judge that a beta version is the latest version that the user should use then?

By the way, a new beta version has been released.

I have also sent 2 transactions from my Nano X. It worked fine, but I still got a message about outdated third-party software before I was able to confirm those transactions.

I'll assume this beta version is compatible with the upgraded firmware Trezor released a couple of weeks ago. Has anyone had a chance to confirm?

Yes, it works fine with my Trezor T. By the way, some time ago, Trezor changed the passphrase entry. Before the update, users could choose the way of passphrase entry directly on the device. After the update, the default method was set to host computer which broke third-party software compatibility. Now, the passphrase entry looks like this.

A beta version of Electrum 4.0 was released a few hours ago. You can download it directly from the official website. Don't forget to verify the signature.

I'm not seeing it mentioned on the front page of the website, nor is it listed on the downloads page. Obviously it's hosted on the official site, which does mean it's legit, but yes, verify, don't trust.

it is worth mentioning that this version is not backward compatible for some functionalities such as signing transactions with multiple parties in multi-sig designs or signing with the offline wallet due to changing how partially signed transactions work (BIP-174). if switch to new version is made in one wallet it must be done on all involved wallets.

I noticed this while playing around with the Alpha source. One of my hot wallet files would no longer open in Version 3.3.8 after creating a transaction with the newer version.

if I have never used Electrum I should press create a new wallet

This thread is about the alpha release of the next version of Electrum, and it's new Lightning Network capabilities. You're question is off-topic, so I suggest you find a thread that already discusses beginner questions or start a new thread to ask your question.

Also, there's a lot information in the official documentation that can help you get started.
Look here: https://electrum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

oh okay I get that it's about new version thanks

Anyone knows the actual link to download the latest electrum LN test version?? I'd like to test it on linux.

Just use the source code from github and compile yourself. The alpha updates are merged regularly. It's not stable yet though, use with caution.

https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum

There's no need to compile anything in Linux. As long as Python is up to date, and you have all the dependencies installed Electrum will run right from source.

Download the source code, browse to the directory where you saved it and run the following command:

Code:

python3 /electrum_master/electrum/run_electrum

Or, if you don't want to compile yourself, you can use a virtual machine to try Electrum LN.
Some time ago, I also tried (on a parallels desktop) to use the Testnet version and transact using the lightning network in Electrum.

Did you have to run the installer file to get on Testnet? I don't see that as an option with the portable exe.

No, nothing complicated like that... it's a simple "--testnet" command line argument... you can do it by creating a shortcut.

And it works with the portable version too, I use that pretty often.
I usually have a batch file (run.bat) with the content:

Code:

electrum-3.3.8-portable.exe --testnet

in the same folder as electrum-3.3.8-portable.exe

Yeah... once "libsecp256k1-dev" was installed on Ubuntu, after recompiling with build-wine, the Windows binaries automagically include everything required. Wink

I did not install libsecp256k1-dev prior to compiling the windows binaries, but I didn't have the issue with missing lightning button. Once I finally got past the other issues I was having, the software seems to be working fine.

Seems to be working OK (at least on TestNet):

I'm liking the new version, the gui updates are cool. The main page now includes a field for your password if you're opening an existing wallet file. Seems more streamlined, less clicking involved.

Also, don't be alarmed if you get a "KeyError" when you receive a payment (and/or open a channel)... It seems to be a known (and fixed) issue, and doesn't seem to actually affect the receiving of the payments. They still show up.

If I get brave enough, I'll try and see what happens if I run it on MainNet Tongue

BTC price road to $80k

OMG it works

But the weird thing is that the old one(The file that you sent to me a few days ago) the lightning button appears but when trying to click it doesn't work unlike the one that includes the "libsecp256k1".

Edit: Weird,
Now both of them works.

I'm going to test it on BTCpay in testnet mode.
