Code:
sudo pip install http://electrum-desktop.com/files/Electrum-1.0.tar.gz?\#md5\=ba94ba25c2abaa038cd4df9b2e1503ff
Or from your git repo
Code:
git fetch
git checkout 1.0
python setup.py install
Let me know if that works, feel free to drop by irc if you need some more direct help.
if i do that, then i get

about the branch: is the correct git location the one on github or the one on gitorious?
git branch returns 1.0 ?

hi
with python pwd area:(seed)
if i didnt type any text and press, it doesnt complain
with pwd area (with 3 text boxes)
I leave first text box empty and type some new pwd into new and confirm areas, it complains and says incorrect password
this happens when I type in same pwd to both areas and different pwds to both areas
with python pwd area:(seed)
if i didnt type any text and press
with pwd area (with 3 text boxes)

hmmm strange... My best guess is that you inadvertently set a password on the first run, perhaps by typing something in the textboxes by mistake?
Anyway, if you don't have any coins yet in that wallet, i would recommend to rename the
electrum.dat file (in Application Data\Electrum) to start over again.

hi
I am using electrum 1.01-e (windoze flatfly compact build, )
I was not able to connect to any server due to some reason(possibly firewall problem, note icon was red, blocks -1)
thomasv from IRC told me to manually change field to
electrum.novit.ro:8081:h
it worked and network went green
now my question:
I didnt set any passwords with electrum client. I cannot change existing passwords (there are two pwd areas, one is python other is wallet encryption area)
are there some default passwords?

Hi, there is no default password. It is empty. What happens if you just set one, do you get an error message? The 2nd area is to confirm your new password, just type it again.

Hi Peeps, I'm having problems. The Windows version has been running fine so far so I thought I'd install Electrum on my Ubuntu Linux system too, and it's got a problem. I was given the choice to generate a new wallet or type in an existing seed. I chose the latter so I could type in the seed I generated with the Windows version. But it has been unable to create the wallet, and it seems to be because the client isn't connecting to any servers.
So could somebody tell me why the client isn't connecting to servers? The internet connection here is fine (I'm posting after all!). My client has the standard list of four servers. Oddly, I have a pair of radio buttons that notionally allow me to choose between the tcp and http protocols, but they're stuck on tcp, I cannot select http. Could this be anything to do with the main problem?

There still is a problem with connecting to servers with no wallet present. We haven't been able to find it just yet.
Try using electrum.bytesized-hosting.com on port 50001, it's possible it's set to the wrong port in your version. Then shut down the app and start it up again, see if that helps.
September 03, 2012, 09:19:50 AM
Heh, yes I just did a split second before you posted. It appears it didn't work with port 50000. I changed that to port 50001 because that's what the other three servers say (I don't really understand what I'm talking about in case it isn't obvious) and it started working!
Should I change it back to 50000 or leave it at 50001?
Also the transactions in my history, my receiving addresses, and my contact addresses, don't have the labels I gave them in my Windows client. I presume it's just a matter of copying over some configuration file?

Did you try the bytesizedhosting server. So could somebody tell me why the client isn't connecting to servers? The internet connection here is fine (I'm posting after all!).

would it be possible for electrum to support socks proxy?

Please present both sides of the issue. If you use the same Electrum wallet you only need to back it up once. Also, a thief only needs to steal your deterministic wallet seed once. I advise Electrum users to occasionally (at a time you determine, depending on your amount of coins and tolerance of risk) to make a new Electrum wallet, back up the new deterministic seed, and send all coins to it. If you import keys from a non-deterministic client, you need to back up those keys, or the whole wallet that contains them. If you prefer going to bitcoin-qt as the main client, you should be able to import the individual electrum keys into it too.
I have been told the QT client pre-creates 100 private keys, if your wallet is stolen you have just a big a problem. In the end it is all about how you secure your wallet. Just be smart about it and don't leave your seed phrase lying around in plain text.

electrum is beautiful and I love it
now I have few address in bitcoin-qt wallet and few address in electrum wallet... how to merge wallets to have one with all address

You can export the private keys from the QT client and import them into Electrum. The problem is that those won't be part of your brainwallet then. I would just send all the coins to Electrum and use addresses from there from that point on.

Hi I'm still getting this issue I mentioned in another thread, despite upgrading to Mac Os 10.7:
Do I put this on github or sourceforge or somewhere, or is this the right place for these sort of issues?
EDIT - On downloading all the Mac OS updates from 10.7 to 10.7.4, my issue is resolved.

Fixed! Also we can now change the server from inside the lite GUI.
