I'm aware of that. Problem is that if you look at the QR-url source here you can see the correct path. Somehow the site is not updating it.

I guess it just took time -- it's all working for me now. e4a_install.py and the e4a zip file are both accessible. The QR code for the Python script is also updated. Thanks!

Still not working for me.

Neh there is still something forked up. It seems github pages might not be compatible with symlinks. I will have to find some time to figure out why that is.

note that you do not need to use a symlink.
you could also just name the file directly "e4a"

Tried that as well, but I still can't download it. Will try it again when I'm on my work computer.

afaict, the url you use in e4a_install is still wrong: http://electrum-desktop.com/files/

actually, the original script downloaded http://ecdsa.org/electrum/e4a (which was a full path, e4a was the filename) and saved it as e4a-0.52.zip
I did this because something (my mobile network operator?) prevented me from downloading a file with .zip extension from a telephone

Ah, I mistakenly assumed that the urlretrieve function was just performing a concatenation. This makes more sense.

URL updated and scripts added. I can't confirm it to work on my own phone because SL4A freezes when I try to run the script (even on the old location). So please let me know if you have more luck.

I get a 404 error when accessing e4a_install.py on my desktop. My phone is able to download it through the QR code, but the Python script tries to download the the file http://ecdsa.org/electrum/e4a/e4a-0.52.zip which also doesn't exist.

this is because ecdsa.org now redirects to electrum-desktop.com
could someone update the url there?

I couldn't get it to work on HTC desire as well. I'm porting it to java though, so it will run natively on android (soon, hopefully).

you're porting electrum to java?

Yes. Not exactly, but it uses the same concept (wallets won't be compatible, at least not for now).

I have installed electrum on my android (sgs2), and it was working great, but now it just says "Synchronizing..." forever on the main page. Is the server I'm attached to down? (server: electrum.novit.ro)

edit: with help on IRC, I switched to a different server, and it's working again. thanks!

I can't put it to work on my Kindle Fire with ICS. On my file manager, if I click the electrum4a.py file it asks me which program I wish to use to open the file :/
Any help?

This is tight, this is the kind of concept that is going to help bring bitcoin more mainstream.

Yep, that was the problem. My bad. Its like you have to install python twice, that wasnt clear to me. It appears to work now

I do assume you plan on releasing an easier to install and launch version later? Much as I appreciate the opensourcyness, I fear not many people are going to manage this as it is right now.

Ill test it a bit and report back.

thanks!
I have updated the page with python installation instructions; I reckon it wasn't very clear.
I believe the installation procedure is quite simple; you see it as complicated because you encountered problems.
