Can you try to connect to ecdsa.org instead?

You will need to select it first through the GUI connection dialog first.

yup, tried that, this works perfectly in console mode, but it still won't connect in gui mode.

Ok, now we're making some progress. Looks like a problem with the gui, specifically. Could you try to just type 'electrum' at the console? This will launch the GUI window, while still having the console open. I am mostly interested in any errors and tracebacks you might get in the console then.

Code:

13-Jun-12  1:13:42.86> electrum
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "electrum", line 139, in 
    import electrum.gui_qt as gui
ImportError: No module named electrum.gui_qt

OK, this error can be ignored.

Please try the following: rename your wallet file to electrum.baddat (or anything else),
restart the application and select the option to restore the wallet (have your seed ready).
It will then proceed to regenerate all of your addresses (except the imported ones) and
hopefully, you will be able to connect fine afterwards.

(I remember having a similar issue a few months ago and that's how I fixed it.)

It's not a problem, it works with the old wallet as long as I don't change servers, but there's still some kind of a bug somewhere, obviously. Is there any other way of having a console and gui open at the same time apart from running "electrum" command (that prints the error above and it won't open the gui)?

Currently, this is the only way to have both the console and GUI open (in my build, at least).
I didn't realize that the GUI wouldn't open for you, after that error message.

I have a few questions for you, to help me understand the cause of this issue:

1/ what is your version of Windows?

2/ by any chance, did you manually install another version of Python at some point?

3/ did you make any edits to the source code (in the Electrum_SysFiles folder)?

Excellent progress! Donation on it's way!

I think i found one mini external bug: "Download" and "Portable" link is the same for v0.58.

And a question: Addresses are now huge compared to label names (they look tiny). Is it normal that the font for "Label" tab is different?

Thanks.

It seems that they were down, but now it works again, except for ecdsa.org

Everything works fine now! Please take a look at the colors: http://i48.tinypic.com/73ibee.jpg
As you see, in Vista it is a bit difficult to clearly distinguish this colors. Would it be possible to choose a kind of orange/red background for the frozen addresses?

Another question: Thomas wrote some days ago, that the consolas font could be added as an option. Is this realizable?

I send you some bacon Wink

Thanks!
I will check for the colors and fonts and let you know.
