I think i can install the client on Linux Mint. But i want to have the wallet in a container on the stick.
I dont know how to tell Electrum where to find the wallet.
Flatfly has made a portable version.

How can I install it on a pen stick (linux mint 13)?
Couldn't you just checkout the source from git and place it on your pen stick?
I can walk you through it most likely, but you will need to insert the pen into a system that has the dependencies for Electrum already installed. Is this feasible for you?

Requesting Fair Play and Decency:
I have just had a look at "http://electrum-desktop.com/credits.html".
I am just an observer and user of Electrum and only contributed to its documentation, so my opinion is probably not of much relevance.
Nevertheless, there is something that irritates me quite a bit in this list of credits, and I have to point out this concern. It is about the order of names:
* Either it should be in alphabetical order,
* or it should be in "historical" order (who contributed first),
* or it should be in the order of "amount of contribution".
Since the list is not alphabetical, I would strongly plead to name ThomasV as first name on this list, because both in terms of "historical order" and in terms of "amount of contribution" he is clearly the first one to be credited, and it is just fair and good style not to have his name lost somewhere in the middle of this list.
For comparison: On "http://bitcoin.org/" in the list of developers, Satoshi Nakomoto is still listed first, although he has also stopped contributing for quite some while. But he has started the client, so he is listed first, and that is the right style. And it does not diminish at all the value of other developers' contributions. But it would question these developers' decency if they did not name Satoshi first in the list.
Thanks,
Michael

You were right, I took a few minutes to rework the structure of the credits page. It's alphabetical now and more emphasis is added to the fact that these are the contributors to version 1.0.

Can't argue with providing simple clients! Whereas my VanillaWallet aims to be as bare-boned and minimalistic as possible, this Electrum Desktop looks clean and fully-featured.

Also I just noticed that I am credited with the mac distribution... this isn't really correct. Animazing has done much more work on this than I.... I contributed a couple of small command line patches.
August 15, 2012, 07:39:53 PM
ThomasV, the author of Electrum, has made it public that he is not going to add new features to the client while a couple of us still see a lot of room for improvement.
can you clarify this point?
Some longer and shorter term plans as I understand them at this point:
- Full functional lite-gui, having all the basic features the lite-gui needs.
- Working binary for all operating systems and distro's.
- Improved user friendly Wizard on first launch.
- Build in alt-chain support.
This means I already got what I need in ThomasV's 0.59b version. Maintenance wouldn't be so bad after all.

Does anyone have any feedback / info on the electrum wallet for chrome?
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hfdeddmpdncodjalbadbanlcombfeoll?utm_source=chrome-ntp-icon
Given that you would be giving your private keys to this I would like some more info.

Electrum 0.60 flatfly's compact build isn't sync'ing. This started happening the last few days. It stays stuck at 'Synchronizing...' and nothing shows in the History tab. I tried changing servers but all of them seem to be doing this. Any idea what's wrong?
Try to PM flatfly, he's usually very helpful.

Part of the Lite GUI were rewritten using functions that were introduced in QT 4.7. I checked the Debian packages but sadly they don't have 4.7 in their stable branch yet. You could try a manual install via the QT site.
We took the gamble that most distros would have 4.7 in their package distribution, sadly this does not seem to be the case.
Argh, and it's not in backports either We took the gamble that most distros would have 4.7 in their package distribution, sadly this does not seem to be the case.
Switching to ubuntu would really bother me, so I'll have to stay with 0.61 :sigh:
