i just want to make suggestion,puting wallet in systemtray instead of taskbar would be a good choice.
Agreed , It's already on the SystemTray but It would be better if It dissapears from the Taskbar once we minimize the window and It comeback when we double click on the icon on Tray system.

The downloads can be found on electrum-desktop.com.
Not a big deal, but since the homepage is currently at https://electrum.org, maybe the OP should be edited to reflect that?
That _is_ a big deal. If electrum.org indeed is the official site then that should be linked in the OP here an nothing else.
You can't expect users to use electrum.org when OP links electrum-desktop or some other site.
OP also says latest release is 1.0.
OP needs to be updated. Maybe also with checksums of latest releases.
Who own this newbie "Electrum" account that owns the thread anyways?

Hey guys, I hope someone can help me... 
I installed Electrum 2.5.4 first time on this computer and havent set up any password and I have no seed. It says it is encrypted and to set up password it asks me for the old one, but there is no old one. I didnt create any.
I havent this problem with older version on my old laptop. Creation of seed and password was part of instalation process. Not here.
What to do? Can I send BTC to that wallet, or it will ask for non exsiting password when I will want to send it from wallet?

I would not use that wallet.
Is that wallet currently empty? If it is do the following. Close electrum.
GO to C:\Users\
WHere
Delete the wallet file
Start electrum again and create a new wallet.
Yes, it sounded to me like there might have been an electrum wallet installed already. The wallet files were still there so only the electrum.exe was deleted and now after reinstall the old wallet was used again. Which was encrypted.
Portable is better. No strange storage locations and full control about everything that is part of a program.

as dan said above, Don't send money to that wallet until you're sure you can use it. Doesn't sound like you can.
To verify, you can try to sign a message: with the wallet open, go to addresses tab, copy one of your addresses to clipboard. then go menu "tools" -> "sign/verify" message, paste some made-up message, paste the address and click "sign".
Maybe even more sensible: display the seed by going to menu "wallet" -> "seed".
Sound from your description of problem that both things will probably prompt for a password, which means the wallet is encrypted.
This. Yes
If your scared of deleting it fully just move the files out of that folder. You can always move them back then.
Generally the first wallet ever made is called default_wallet

^ just to add some info: electrum in newer versions (also the one mentioned) allows to open multiple wallets, even at the same time (cool). I'm not sure which one is automatically opened at startup, probably the last one closed.

quick question.. i made a vanity bitcoin address and imported it into electrum, works great.
if i encrypt the wallet in electrum.. say sometime in the future i forget that password.. or whatever stops working..
is the private key for that address good enough to import into another wallet? or is it a use once thing?

As long as the wallet allows the import of private keys you are fine. Addresses can be imported into multiple wallets at the same time or however you want. No need to worry.

Hi. What is the console command to force the wallet to re-sync?
Better to start a new thread with your specific issue.... October 03, 2015, 11:38:45 PM
