Damn, still can't get it to work Sad

Still "Poking" ?
Can you try to delete or rename the electrum.dat file and create a new one?

suggestion: perhaps it would be nice to have the client auto-select the next entry in the 'available servers' list if the currently selected server does not respond

Yeah still poking. Already tried recreating the wallet a few times it just won't "catch on". Genjix is almost done with his "auto-manage" feature for servers, which should solve issues like these

This (or at least the Windows problem) could also be due to the fact that I was using the master branch. I've just made a new build based on the 1.0 branch. The build is 1.01-c - Could you confirm whether it fixes the connection issue on your VM?

(SHA-1 for the EXE file: 5f1ada02f4a8c5565f1f21c9291992a5b24ad0c3)

EDIT: gtg, will be back online later today

Sadly it still keeps poking and not doing much else. If I can find some time later tonight I will check if this is perhaps a issue in Electrum as a whole since I encountered in the non-windows client too.

I've had some headaches but I think I nailed it down! Can you take a look at your electrum.dat file? What server is mentioned there, is it yours? What about the port number, 50000? If so, try to manually edit it to 50001 and see if that solves it.

Unless I'm missing something, it seems the default server list (in interface.py) has a typo, specifically the port number for your server.

This could explain the seemingly random 'stuck on connecting' issue that was reported from time to time.

Code:

DEFAULT_SERVERS = [ 'ecdsa.org:50001:t', 
                     'electrum.novit.ro:50001:t', 
                    'uncle-enzo.info:50001:t', 
                    'electrum.bytesized-hosting.com:50000:t']  # list of default servers

I think it was set to 50000 in my wallet, tried to edit it but it still wouldn't work afterwards. Do you have a build with the port fixed for me to try out?

Here you go! (I've also temporarily disabled the entry for ecdsa.org at it seems
it has been unstable for the last few days)

https://code.google.com/p/win-electrum/downloads/detail?name=elec101d.exe&can=2&q=

Does that work any better?

Hmmm... Sadly I can't make another build now. It would be interesting to take a look at the wallet file, to see if anything else looks strange.

No problem!

I had trouble getting Electrum to connect, not sure if that's isolated to my Windows VM though. Are you available for a chat on IRC by the way? I love to have you more closely involved with the project you are doing an awesome job at the windows client.

Thanks! I would be honored to have a chat about it. However, unfortunately, I will not be available on IRC until later this week.

About the client not connecting from your VM: does the previous build (0.60) connect successfully?

I think it's not a problem with your build. I just tried a fresh install on my Ubuntu VM and I got the same problem It seems there is a problem somewhere in the code that prevents it from connecting on first launch when no valid wallet is found.

There seems to be a new problem:
electrum no longer prompts for password encryption when creating or restoring wallets at the command line.

and it throws the following error:

Wallet saved in '\...\Application Data\Electrum\electrum.dat'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "(electrum)", line 258, in
if password:
NameError: name 'password' is not defined

EDIT: found the issue, there's a TAB character in the whitespace at line 207 that screws it:

Code:

password = prompt_password("Password (hit return if you do not wish to encrypt your wallet):")

Which branch was this on?

Master:

https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/master/electrum

(I don't have a github account to change this at the moment)

If you are building stable versions of the windows client I will always use the version release branch. 1.0 in this case. I will see if I can fix the issue, thanks!

Edit: just pushed a commit, could you check if this fixes it? I am unable to check it atm.

Yes, this has fixed it, thanks

And I wasn't aware of the release branches...
I will use those to make stable builds from now on.

I could finally prepare a temporary Windows computer with all required
dependencies and compile a 1-click build of Electrum 1.0.

Both regular and portable versions are now available.
Same download location as usual: http://dre.redmartian.org/elecwin.htm

**Special thanks to genjix and tachikoma for their precious help!**

Note: this build still defaults to the "pro" GUI.
If you want to give the new "lite" GUI an early try,
just drop to the console and run "electrum -g lite".
But it's still under heavy development.

The Reddit was cool!

Also this is nice: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=103162.0;topicseen

BTW I think people should not be using github master if they want security and stability. Only use the releases. We need to change those PIP install instructions. I also need to setup an environment to test installations.

But this conference is exhausting and taking all my time. I really cannot wait until it finishes because it is super stressful. I keep hoping for it to end. Once it finishes, I'm going on a sabbatical for a few weeks where I only write code. No emails.

Just to let you guys know,
there's a mention of Electrum currently trending on the Bitcoin subreddit!
