I asked in dev-area about change addresses and was told that change addresses are only used once. Now when i see electrum the change addresses are reused as change address for the same real address. I think that lowers the anonymity, because a receiver that receives money from such change address can know all transactions that got out of this change address and the ones from the main address instead only know the one transaction and the main address ones.
But in fact i doubt the change address concept anyway... i mean a change address is is easily recognizable because its the second transaction in one transaction and both transactions empty the sending address. I dont see a use in this. Or do i miss something?

Linux noob here. How do I download the python-qt and electrum files to use on an offline Ubuntu install?

I have a strange behaviour the first time now. I have a transaction that shows at electrum.no-ip.org, electrum.bysh.me and electrum.datemas.de as it has 0 confirmations. But when i check the same transaction id on blockchain.info it has 2 confs already.
First i thought a server isnt up to date but so many servers? The tid is:
Till now electrum was always as fast as blockchain.info.

what happens if you do this in the console?
Code:
getaddresshistory("1GFEJMUeeAWcsvhnTXmGyf5NdKaqfymbou")
Im running the windows portable version so im not sure if i can use the console now and how. But finally it shows 2 confs too. I had it restarted before some times with no effect. I dont know why its now actual out of sudden.

Is there a way to send multiple transactions in one transaction like its possible in original client? maybe using ; in between addresses and values? I wondered how refunds could be done with least work possible and without having to pay a fee for each transaction. For that it would be good to have such possibility. The help buttons doesnt mention such.
not for now. it's on my todolist
Thank you. Would be useful. I dont want to put work on you but i thought that the original client is missing an importfunction. Maybe a csv-import for payments. If electrum would have such feature it would be great. Most group buys will have tables with payments, creating a csv out of it would be easy. Then import it and you have a big transaction very easy.
Only saying...

Im not sure if its an error too but often when i go to receive tab all the settings are gone about how big the columns are and so on. So that i have to click everywhere to get it back. But its only sometimes, on other times it shows the settings from before. I didnt find when it happens that its set back.
yes, it's a bug.
May 01, 2013, 04:58:57 AM
Hm... i signed a message with electrum. Then i wanted to check out the message with verify. Unfortunately it always says only: "Wallet instance has no attribute 'verify_message'"
thanks for pointing that. it will be fixed soon.Thanks!

Pulled from git yesterday, and it fixed an annoying bug that throws an error when I've closed the client with a pending transaction.
Thanks, ecdsa.

What is a use case for gap limit? A retailer would need it to serve 100,000 unique purchase addresses at a time? Could I serve 100,000 addresses and when half are used up I would be served an additional 100,000 addresses by Electrum?
(the purpose of this could be to determine a unique point of sale "intent", when someone determined to buy an item)
Thanks!!

Everytime i go into my receive-tab all columns are truncated. Can i save the settings for the colums somehow?

Got the coins back 
with help. F@#*ing dyslexia!

with help. F@#*ing dyslexia!I sometimes considered adding a print button to the dialog that shows the seed.
But I am concerned that the decrypted seed will remain in the memory of the printer, which would be an easy target.
Anyway, I think people who have dyslexia should copy paste the seed and print it.

Also, if you are copy-pasting the seed, make sure you there are no leading or trailing spaces. And only one space between each word.
April 21, 2013, 01:45:13 PM
I've uploaded the list of words used for you here.
Thanks, I've been through the list and one seed does have one word wrong and for the other seed all the words are on the list but I still get the error "Cannot decode this". If I can find someone trustworthy to help me regain both the wallets I'd like to pay towards a VPS to run Electrum over I2p using the new bitcoin I2p patch. As well as offering electrum over Tor as well if possible on a the same VPS. With a basic instructions on using it added to the electrum how-to. I can't do that but I'd pay BTC2.50 for each seed recovered towards a VPS. Or donate BTC2.50 for each seed recovered towards Electrum devolpment or a/the dev(s)/'s coffee bill.
version 1.7.3 lets you enter the seed in a multiline text field, but it does not allow newline as separator.
I just fixed that, in case that was the cause of your problem:
https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/commit/19641245156fa4f9484c99f0b22423dca7fcfd89
if you don't use the git version, try to enter your seed words separated only by spaces, no newline.
let me know if that fixed it.
