Ouch, do you happen to know which version you are using?

You can cat lib/version.py from the source dir if you don't know. (if that was already in that version)

we "solved" the problem by hacking that old version to not require server connection to dump the keys (electrum -k addresses).

thanks anyway.

Before you do anything else, just to be sure, make a copy of the wallet.

did that.

Then try downloading the latest stable release from Flatfly (Windows) or do a pip install from the tarbal from the site (Linux). And see if that helps.

wont help, a new version will generate a different wallet with our seed and say "unable to read wallet" using the old .electrum/electrum.dat.

hey guys, trying to recover my brothers bitcoins from an oldish (january 2012) electrum client.

Client starts and shows balance, however, we cannot find a server to connect to (protocol changed?) in order to send the coins somewhere else.

Also "electrum -k addresses" seems to just hang and doesn't print the keys or addresses.

A few more things I've got in being tested at bkkcoins/electrum branch, merged-2. Anyone is welcome to test it but please backup your wallet first.

- show currency balance in pro mode. not fancy or clickable
- remember column widths for receive and history tabs
- new sahara theme with browns instead of blues

- import addr or key only
   allows import a watch only address (flag W in list)
   allows import just key w/o address like most other clients, gets addr from key

- multi-select sends - like coin control - expert only
   allows multi-selections in receive list and context menu to add as inputs for send
   send page looks same unless selected inputs then a list shows

I have tested most of this a fair bit but the multi-select sends I have only test the gui and not got around to testing the actual send trx yet. I'd prefer to use test net rather than risk my wallet but I'll probably do something tomorrow.

Going to go watch a movie now... Cool

Will check those out asap

So many awesome features! Can't wait to try them out... But unfortunately, I don't have much free time these days. Hopefully, soon...

Any of you python guys had a play with Jeff's pynode?

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-pynode-simple-bitcoin-p2p-node-94645

Wondering if it could offer something to the Electrum-Stratum client-server model?

All I can say is I'm real glad BkkCoins is taking strong interest in contributing to Electrum and will quickly become an invaluable asset to the "team"...

Thanks. I just switched from the Satoshi client a few days ago and haven't even uninstalled it yet. Main reason was blockchain reaching 4GB and my SSD is only 60GB. It's a new toy for me so have been looking it over and seeing what I can improve. This gives me a chance to review the code and feel comfortable with depending on it.

Quote from: Tachikoma on September 23, 2012, 04:51:06 AM

Couldn't agree more. BkkCoins hit me up on irc so I can give you commit access to the main repo. You seem to deliver quality work

I've merged your 'merged' branch from two days ago into master now, did a lot of testing and it seems to be stable. I will try to find some time to checkout the merged2 branch. You are developing harder then I can test it Wink

Thanks for the offer. I'll probably do that before too long but I'm not in a hurry. I'd prefer my changes were tested by a few users before being merged and this way I feel not solely responsible if my code bungs up the master. I don't mind if my code is queued up being tested for a while. It gives me a chance to test it more. I'm typically running my latest merge on my desktop myself. If it gets in eventually then I think users still benefit.

Anyway - hope to help make Electrum the best client available. Grin

Hey would anyone of you guys be willing to comment on the setup I have for my savings wallet described here? How secure is it is what I'm after:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1213006

Quote

I made a small adjustment to my plan. This is what I plan to have now:

- Ubuntu 12.04.1 up to date USB stick
- 2 users: administrator, standard (home directory encrypted)
- electrum light client on both
- administrator always offline with no browsing or any other kind of other use at all using electrum offline tx signing and deseeded wallet sharing
- standard online, synced with electrum servers with a watch only deseeded wallet + blockchain.info in firefox + noscript + verifier + firewall all blocked except out: 53/udp,80/tcp,443/tcp + no other use or browsing at all

Is this any better?

I was thinking of a feature that allows you to show a QR containing a signed transaction. Then you could grab your phone with Electrum and snap it and send without ever physically moving anything from offline machine to net-connected machine. Truly an "air-gapped" process.

Intriguing, I like how you're thinking .... Amoury (and any off-line wallets that can sign) might be interested in this feature also.

I just wanted to pop in and say that this client is shaping up into a very nice tool and I hope you keep on going and add more features, polish it up and most of all make it as user friendly as possible. I'll be sending a small donation your way, so keep it up!

I've got 4-5 small tweaks staged here waiting to submit.
See bkkcoins/electrum branch, merged-2
eg.
select exchange for balance display
choose currency symbols you want to cycle thru
lite mode settings menu item
red ink debit transactions in history
confirmations as tooltip for history
scalable, centered QR code

This could maybe also be done for creating a new deseeded wallet with view-only addresses from an offline wallet. Making it easier to use an offline wallet.

I don't have a smart phone here so I wouldn't be able to test it, lol.
But if this sounds useful I'd be interested in coding it up.

In case anyone wonders the SOCKS5 proxy default setting is that DNS lookups go thru the proxy as well so there shouldn't be local leakage.

I coded support for multiple exchanges today. I'm currently testing it but looks ok so far. I re-organized exchange_rate.py as modules in an exchanges directory. The settings dialog lets you choose your preferred exchange a list built from module filenames, eg. Intersango, MtGox. Also can customize which currencies to cycle thru as well. This gives more flexibility for international users. Currently in bkkcoins/electrum multi-exchange branch.

For those interested in using Electrum over Tor:

just configure your Electrum proxy settings as follows (and of course, Tor needs to be installed first):

Note: I haven't had a chance to test this myself yet - can anyone try it out?

I've just finished an very, very initial implementation of multiple wallet support into the lite-gui.

There are some limitations at this point:

You will not be able to add new wallets via de GUI. Launch Electrum with -w ~/.electrum/wallet_name.dat to add one for now.
It will only find wallets inside the default electrum folder. ~/.electrum on Linux/OS X

I will not be merging this into master anytime soon since these features add on the actual wallet files themselves. So if you want to help me test it / code review it please do this by checking out the feature/wallet-experiments branch from Github. Please backup your wallets if you do decide to help out

Code:

git checkout -b wallets origin/feature/wallet-experiments

Thanks in advance.

Tested it on a clean Debian 6 system and on OS X 10.7 and it seems to be working. Before I merge it into master though I would appreciate it if there were some other people who could give it a quick run. It required some manual merging and that's always tricky. I previously made master unstable by merging too quickly and I would like to avoid that this time.

The fully merged tree can be found on github. Thanks!

Seems to work fine for me as well, on Win XP. I didn't test everything, though.
If more people could give it a try as well, it would be cool.

Things keep getting better and better!
