For my info, do you remember what server you selected when you first started Electrum?

Could you try to delete or rename the empty wallet file (electrum.dat in your Application Data\Electrum directory) and launch Electrum again?

By the way, I figured out why Electrum doesn't update the balance on these imported but uncompressed public keys...Its searching for the uncompressed public key, not the compressed public  key; the key actually used in the transaction - which is a unique and different address per the bitcoin folks'

You can always raise a ticket on Github, or even better supply a patch!

Hmm.. Care to share how you actually 'uncompressed' those keys? I didn't know it was even possible.

Sent 500 to DeviledMoon and DigitalHermit!

Installed on Ubuntu 12.04

PM for the bitcoin address

NOTES:

I was just introduced to bitcoins a few weeks ago.  I was using the bitcoin-qt application on Windows 7.  But I was getting tired of switching to Windows 7 just to check the balance, plus the wait time for bitcoin-qt to re-sync with the blockchain info was frustrating, especially after not using Windows 7 for a few days.  (I didn't install bitcoind on Ubuntu, because the blockchain db is eating up space under Windows 7, and I didn't want a duplicate eating up space for Ubuntu - ie shared HD).

I tried the pre-built Electrum deb install package for amd 64 client via the website.  Well the installer dependencies are sort of wacky, and I had to manually apt-get python-twisted and "fix" the install.  After which it ran, at first it wasn't connecting to a stratum(sp?) server...then I read the forums and switched from to port 50001, then it connected. 

But then, I tried importing some keys from another wallet, and I got a "Error: keypair import failed:" with a blank reason.  Well, gosh the blank reason was weird.  Browsing git did not give me any clues.  So, I tried a few more keys, and got the same error...I gave up and downloaded the source, fired up vi added an import pdb & pdb.set_trace() call to look into things....2 hours later I figured out that the ecdsa crypto in wallet.py fairly old, and does not support compressed keys...3 hours later, I gave up on trying to update wallet.py, and just uncompressed the keys before importing them.  However, even after successfully importing the keys, the balance never updated...

I would post this to the Electrum development forum, but I don't have that right(at least for now).

I wish Electrum would work on OSX 10.6.8!
