Hey, I just noticed that I got a 2.2BTC tip yesterday! Thank you
anonymous donator, it was very appreciated!  No idea who the donator is, though...

why the transaction fee is always multiplyed by 2 and 4 once configured in the options?
if i put 0.000001 btc fee it never stay at 0.000001

then i put " 0.x "  in the amount, i get 0.000002 btc transaction fee
then i put " 1.x "  in the amount, i get 0.000004 btc transaction fee

whats even more strange is if i put 0.00000001  btc

then i put " 0.x "  in the amount, i get 18 btc transaction fee
then i put " 1.x "  in the amount, i get 48 btc transaction fee


if i put 0.0000001  btc

then i put " 0.x "  in the amount, i get 27 btc transaction fee
then i put " 1.x "  in the amount, i get 47 btc transaction fee


Good catch! I just tried the same settings here, and
I'm able to reproduce it. Sure looks like a little bug in the fee calculation for tiny values.

Anyway, I would recommend setting the fee to 0.001 to get higher priority than SatoshiDice transactions - otherwise, setting smaller fees will often delay your transaction for hours if not days.

yes sometimes it get freezed creating the 5 first addresses or whatever it is doing,
I must click in the "X" and then a window with the seed and so on appears,

someone told me the reason of this is just when it can't connect to the server

the strange behavior is definitely due to python stucked into memory, but i can't reproduce a way to make it keep in memory so any kind of senseless error can appear; looks like random... sometimes it exit and sometimes it don't


Hopefully, this will be fixed in a later release.

by the way, what about update to a longer seed? 2^128 looks a bit short compared to 2^166

Why? 2^128 should get you covered until the end of the universe... Unless I'm missing something? Anyway, if you would like to discuss this further, I would recommend to post about it in the main Electrum thread.

it possible in next version to put the window in the middle of the screen for the initial booting position?, to me its too high and i have the windows bar covering it always,

Sure, I will address that in the next Windows build.
Do you have your Windows taskbar at the top of your screen? Could you post a screenshot if possible?

0.60, from C:\


i had the same problem with the "non"  portable windows version and tahts why i switched to the portable one, for test.

now i must say i just killer python.exe and looks like everything works as it should now
i have the feeling sometimes gets stucked in memory and make a mess of paranormal activity

OK, so it seems that the Python runtime doesn't always exit properly for some reason.
I will further investigate this when I can setup a new computer (writing this post from a friend's computer). 

One thought... Did Electrum get stuck while you created your very first wallet?
It sometimes happens if a server is down at the wrong time (known issue).

hi, i had some strange behaviour with the crypt option for the wallet, (sometimes it crypt, sometimes is decrypt without asking password... and os on, very strange in my opinion)
so i decided to rename the wallet in order to play with a fresh one

now i have two wallets and each time i open/close the exe, it alternate reading one or other, its switching constantly after each open/close action

i am using the portable exe version for xp

is that behaviour normal?

This is the first time such an issue is reported. Definitely not normal. 
Perhaps something special with your setup? Are you running Electrum from
a USB drive or your hard disk? Any spaces in the path?  Version 0.60?

I've got the same problem,
not connected to any server with 0.60 on XP64 (tried the portable version too without success), while 0.56 worked fine.



Yes this is a known occasional issue and hasn't been fixed yet. It's not totally clear whether it is windows specific or not.

A customer of mine had problem connecting to any server using your Windows build version 0.60. She gets the message "Not connected. Block: -1".

I resolved this by restoring her wallet on my Linux desktop with version 0.61.

Need some temp hosting? I can give you a small VPS if that would help.

website still down, sorry about that.

in the meantime, v0.60 can still be downloaded through
the following links:

(SHA1: a4fd9d0ed152d3beee7d1859e8736ef5bb5d8ee9)

https://code.google.com/p/win-electrum/downloads/detail?name=elec060.exe&can=2&q=

https://code.google.com/p/win-electrum/downloads/detail?name=elec060-portable.exe&can=2&q=

I was able to find a solution to my hosting issues.
 
Tachikoma, thanks again for helping out with the temporary VPS.
I guess I will no longer need it now but it was very appreciated.

Roger! I will remove it again, hit me up if you ever need something a little more permanent Smiley

Also wanted to mention that I'm still working on making my build process fully documented / repeatable by others, but replacing my tools with 100% open-source ones is proving tougher than I thought (especially when trying to keep the same build compatible with XP, Vista, and 7).

Hello,

I had to change my URL for Windows builds due to hosting issues.
The new URL is:

http://dre.redmartian.org/elecwin.htm

I couldn't build 0.61 yet, though.

ok, I'll update the link

can you explain why you could not build 0.61?


Thanks for updating the link.

Actually, it's got nothing to do with 0.61: my "development"
machine (which was just an old EeePC, believe it or not)
decided to die on me last weekend. And with my financial
situation being extremely bad (probably the understatement
of the year), I can't even afford to buy a new one for
now, and probably won't until I find a new job.

I will see if I can get someone to lend/give me a
replacement computer in the meantime.

PS:
How could a 35-year-old former Cisco employee get himself
into such a mess? That's a long story I'm not ready to
share on this forum just yet. But any help or advice is welcome.
