My suggestion is to install some ligth version of Windows OS in VirtualBox if you have problem with installing Linux wallet.
I had problem with install one app on Ubuntu and I had to switch back to Windows.
I hope Electrum will work, and we can soon see full version, but I do expect lot of bugs.

My laptop is windows so I don't need to install it in VirtualBox the reason why I use VirtualBox it's because you can only compile the Electrum Alpha version with Linux according to this https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum

Unless you know how to compile it on windows OS? It will help us if you can share it here.

This part isn't too hard, all you need to do is compile Python 3.6 from source then install it. Check this guide https://realpython.com/installing-python/#compiling-python-from-source

You also could add 3rd-party repository which serve newer version of Python, but i don't know how to do it on your linux distro.

Yeah, I'm following the same guide from here http://devopspy.com/python/install-python-3-6-ubuntu-lts/ with method 2.
but I'm stuck again with "$ sudo make -j8" and it seems the error is "full disk" I think I will need to increase the VirtualBox space. I thought that it won't download too many resources and packages but after I use the command above it eat so much space on Virtualbox space. Anyway, I'll update this again soon. Too bad I have slow internet connection.

Do you have any idea for another way to compile it for windows instead? I don't have much space on my laptop after I applied the last step installing python.

I'll update this soon and maybe I can find a way to install the Python 3.6.1 on the Linux lite version.

Tried these command in Linux lite but the sad part I'm stuck on upgrading the python to 3.6.2 the reason why I want to upgrade the python it's because the python version installed is 3.5.2 but the required python is 3.6.1.

I'll update this soon and maybe I can find a way to install the Python 3.6.1 on the Linux lite version.

Commands that I use recently.

Code:

sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5 python3-pip python3-setuptools protobuf-compiler
sudo apt install git
git clone git://github.com/spesmilo/electrum.git
cd electrum
git submodule update --init
python3 -m pip install .[fast]

I just added the sudo apt install git because I can't make a git clone now it works fine but stuck on python-pip install.

@Royse777, if you're a beginner, and you want to save yourself a headache messing with docker, cross compiling,... It might be better to install the latest ubuntu on a clean virtual machine (like virtualbox).

Then follow https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum

Basically
sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5 python3-pip python3-setuptools protobuf-compiler
git clone git://github.com/spesmilo/electrum.git
cd electrum
git submodule update --init
python3 -m pip install .[fast]
protoc --proto_path=electrum --python_out=electrum electrum/paymentrequest.proto
./run_electrum

(there's a complete how-to on building windows binaries from linux here: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/tree/master/contrib/build-wine)?

This is what I was talking about to in my last post with the edit. I guess you missed it, not your fault.

Quote from: AB de Royse777 on January 28, 2020, 08:14:13 AM

Edit:
Found some instructions in here: contrib/build-wine/README.md.
But it seems they have used some alien language LOL
Can anyone speak English to me about it :-D

An other option is that you ask somebody you really, really, really, really trust to build the binary for you...

I really do not have this option which means I will need to do some studies about it. Will update you lot once I have a question.

@Royse777: you cloned the git repo, not the binaries... There are no signatures for these source files.
If you want to proceed, you'll have to create the binary for yourself. I don't see any documentation as to how to compile the binary in a windows environment, but maybe you can run linux as a virtual machine on your desktop in order to compile the sourcecode (there's a complete how-to on building windows binaries from linux here: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/tree/master/contrib/build-wine)?

An other option is that you ask somebody you really, really, really, really trust to build the binary for you... But even then, i'd probably only run it on the testnet inside a jail (or on a computer that's not being used for anything else, contains no other user data, and will be scratched afterwards)

Okay now I have time to play with the toy.

For beginners: there is no official version, verify that you are downloading from https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum and that you verify the signature.

I just downloaded the files from github. Can you tell me where do I get the PGP key to verify it in here? Also which file I install, it seems a lot of files (in the folder electrum-master) which my windows do not recognize (I have no idea about python).

I gotta tell that this is the first time I am trying something from github.

Where did you found the installation guide for Electrum 4.0 alpha version?

As you can see, haven't install yet so I have no clue yet.

The video shows the alpha version it is still not the official one so the video shows the development test for Electrum lightning.

Does it seem I can't find it even in Github? Can you put the direct link here so that I can test this alpha version?

The instructions for the development version are near the bottom of the page linked by Royse777.

It seems that they deleted it someone shares the link from Reddit this must be the lightning open-sourced link https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/tree/lightning but the link is not working anymore and it will show the 404 page(It means it was removed).

Nice, a new toy to play with. I think I'll set it up in my Ubuntu virtual box and play around with it this weekend. It looks like there's a way to run it on Windows, but you have to use cUrl and install docker, and blah blah blah. I don't want docker on my Win system, and if I'm going through all that shizzle I might as well just do it in Ubuntu.

I can't wait to see the new release with lightning built in.

Haven't played with toys for long time and seems like I have one now lol.
On my phone but when I get back to home, I will give it a go however I had plan to test it once they launch it in their official website but my interest is in the peak now.

Thanks for sharing and I will update in this thread soon.

I was browsing Youtube and this video appeared to me, it seems easy to open channels, send/receive payments and buy online.
The costs are very low and the payments are very fast.

For beginners: there is no official version, verify that you are downloading from https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum and that you verify the signature.
