The two-factor authentication plugin was merged yesterday.
There will be a beta release next week.


this is getting exciting. With the two-factor authentication, this will make electrum even more secure to prevent authorized access to wallets and loss of fund. Just wondering where can I get the beta release?  Wink

Wow , really awesome news , keep up the good work mate and thanks for the sacrifice you did I guess (leaving your job)
was you the creator of Electrum BTC Wallet in the first place or you are just developping it . btw it would be nice if you can add more features like generating more adresses because I don't think that 5 adresses is enough to be honest also making adresses (multisig) that start with number three .

Will a link be posted here for that or on the Electrum website?  Thanks for the effort. Grin

Also, will that include support for both BTChip and Trezor?

Any updates on this? Thanks  Huh

Is it going to include support for the Hardware Wallet usb key?
That should be included and is already in the beta and that's the reason why I ask when the v2.0 is released Smiley

I need it in a windows version that I don't have to compile. Thanks.  Grin

me too. that's why I asked several times now for the compiled dummy-proofed windows version  Grin
I bought the Hardware Wallet on Black Friday and wanna use it with electrum  Tongue
Ditto that. Looking forward to it. Please!  Tongue

obviously it's taking much more time than I initially planned; sorry about that.


No worries, I understand how ETAs given by developers work (being one myself). Cheesy

But still, any rough idea about the new ETA?
Please give us an update.

Congrats

I love electrum it has so many features.

However the depth of features may not be apparent to the novice user. Some sort of UX change to bring some of the buttons like freeze etc to the fore front may be useful. Eg I like to control what addresses send and recieve what.

The only technical nag I have is as posited before....If repeated public spending from addresses some how builds up a picture of the original MPK and private key....which was answered no, but it some how sits in the back of my mind that there must be some sort of backwards linkage.

Apart from that I struggle to thing of anything I could even want electrum to do better....it does everything so well.


Well I'm not an expert, but here's what I think:

Seems unlikely because each address is created using a double sha-256 hash of the sum of the address sequence and the MPK.  So you'd have to have some pretty advanced crypto cracking there just to figure out
The MPK.

Even if you knew the MPK, the master private key would be protected by ECDSA.

But what may be dangerous is revealing one private key in the wallet may compromise the whole wallet.
It says so in a warning message if you try to export your keys.

If you want extra security for a cold wallet, simply create a new cold wallet and send your funds to a single address there.

Any updates?

Sure Smiley

Points 1 and 3 have been addressed, and I made another release a few weeks ago, version 1.9.8. The 1.9.8 client uses new servers with that Patricia tree ("ultimate blockchain compression"). The daemon mode works on linux, but it needs to be fixed on other platforms.

Concerning points 2 and 4, more development is needed. You can check the progress on github.
