3) Offline transactions that work like Armory

I know that electrum already has offline transactions, but they kind of scare me a bit with copying the wallet file around. I have to triple-check to make sure I did it right and I'm not sending the hot wallet around by accident. Armory on the other hand creates an unsigned transaction on the untrusted computer and that gets passed around instead. Would it be possible for electrum to work like this?

yes, that makes sense

I had the same wish also on my mind.

1) Multi-wallet support.

Animazing has plans to implement it, but that might take some time.
in the meantime, may I remind you that you can open as many electrum windows as you want simultaneously.

2) "sendmany"

that's easy to do.

I really like electrum, but I'm torn between it and Armory. I like the codebase and stability of electrum, but the UI and detailed descriptions of Armory are really great.

There are a few things that I would really like to see in electrum. I wish I had the time to code myself, but I am willing to start a bounty.

1) Multi-wallet support.

You can choose a wallet on startup, but I want to see multiple wallets in the GUI at the same time. Specifically, I would like to have a hot wallet (encrypted private keys), a offline wallet (private keys on another computer), and long term storage (private keys on paper).

2) "sendmany"

Armory does this really well and even supports sending to wallets so moving funds around is really easy. They even have a donate button that is really easy to use right in the send window.

experienced some connection problems (just wouldn't connect most of the time). I managed to get a tx out when it was connected (although the gui froze after hitting send, so I killed the process).

now electrum doesn't want to start any more, I think I shot the wallet?

I think there are some unexpected problems with the new (pruning) servers and old versions of the client.
I suggest you upgrade to I.5.
some problems were reported with 1.5 too, I am trying to fix them asap.

I did a git pull 2 days ago. Is "git://gitorious.org/electrum/electrum.git" correct repo?

EDIT: AAARGH, I'm still on that ancient repo on that machine ;(

git://github.com/spesmilo/electrum is correct, right?

yes. I tried to delete the gitorious repo a few times, but I got a server error (500)

you could empty it, maybe, delete all files?

Sending transactions can take up to 30 seconds in my experience. I don't know what could have happened but it could be that your wallet is damaged. Thomas might have a better clue

This is really good. Great user inteface. I love this wallet!

Thanks for your post, I'm sure Electrum's developers appreciate this kind of feedback

Just curious, are you talking about the 'Classic' or 'Lite' user interface? Or both?

Thank's ThomasV.
So I only need to keep the seeds, and with the seeds I have my privat key.

Can anybody tell me in which folder are my private keys stored at the electrum wallet ?
And can I make a copy (like the wallet.dat) on the Bitcoin client to secure them ?

the whole point about this client is that private keys are not stored in the wallet.
they are derived from your seed.

Hey guys, Electrum is great. One thing I noticed though is that it grabs an exchange rate from Intersango- and they aren't supporting USD anymore. As a result the exchange rate is way off. Any way to change this to GOX for example? Or perhaps lets people choose the exchange rate Electrum sources?

cheers!

I've already written suitable patches to support multiple exchanges using a module for each one. And for choosing what currencies you want from the settings dialog. They are on my fork and just need to be merged into the master.

I adapted the exchange_rate module to both an Intersango and MtGox one. Whatever modules are present in the exchanges directory get shown in a dropdown for selecting as default.

I really hope your patches will be reviewed for merging soon!
Perhaps you could have a chat with ThomasV to organize / speed up the process?

There's bug in indentation on the line with "self.send_response(200)". Can you fix it, please. Otherwise this pull request is safe.

Indentation fixed I think (unfamiliar with python).

merged, thanks.
