Many thanks for that!
I need to wait for a confirmation before I can play around and do some testing with the wallet...

Are you still not able to connect? Ecdsa.org works fine for me...
I reverted to the older (working) wallet. Seems like every time server is changed wallet changes in some way, and this doesn't quite comply. It's working ok with the older one.

Quote
Also, is there anything particular about the wallet that has changed recently (such as frozen, prioritized, or newly imported addresses)?
Oh yes, that might be relevant but I totally forgot. I had one prioritized and one frozen address (I was just playing around with that). I also had expert mode checked and display zeroes set to 2. I will try to remove that and test again.

edit: no joy, still the same. this is what I see. After a restart I see nothing as it wouldn't connect at all. I tried all three servers I have available (ecdsa.org, electrum.bitcoins.sk, electrum.novit.ro), none of them would work.

OK, could you try in console mode? Perhaps that will give us some additional clues / error messages...
To enter console mode, just start Electrum while holding down the SHIFT key.
Then try a simple online command, such as 'electrum balance' (without the quotes)
Any error messages when you do that?

I changed the server and now it won't connect anymore...

All servers are up, I just checked.
What version of the client are you using?
Latest stable version is 0.58, try to update perhaps?
the latest 0.58-compact. I created the wallet, chose the ecdsa server. Later I tried changing it (by clicking on the green circle and changing to a different one), and from then it doesn't want to connect even if I change it back to ecdsa. If I rewrite the wallet with the old one it works again. Tried the same thing with an older version and it works (or doesn't work) in the same way.

Strange... Never had this kind of issue... I guess ThomasV should be able to help
Can you reproduce it or is it only on my end?

No I can't reproduce it... Connectivity is fine here. However I'm not able to do more testing as I'm out of BTC  at the moment Sad

How many do you need? Is the address in your sig ok?

Yes the address in my sig is OK.
1 or 2 would be nice... Let me know if it is a donation or you need them back Smiley  


sent, you may keep them. Keep up the awesome work!

btcback.com is down (bitcoind crashed)
electrum.bitcoins.sk is broken (wrong number of blocks)

that being said, I cannot reproduce vuce's problem

I need a download link for v. 0.58 portable

Download page is in my signature.
Perhaps you still have the old page in your browser cache?
Here's the direct link:  http://win-electrum.googlecode.com/files/elec058-portable.exe

@flatfly: did you finally fix the menu bug?


By the way, another thing that is somewhat related, but I'm not sure if it is Windows-specific or not: On Linux, what happens if you double-click on the balance of a transaction? For me, the context menu pops up, but at the very beginning of the line, not where the mouse pointer is. Anyway, not very important...

it's normal. I just did not expect users to bring the menu that way... Smiley

Its working now but there is a strange bug:

This is what I get when I open the console (offline) and hit "enter":
12.06.2012  9:58:50,73> electrum -w "../../::/::/ELECTRUM:DAT" -O ADDRESSES
Usage: electrum [options] command
Commands: restore, help, unprioritize, freeze, signmessage, verifymessage, addre
sses, contacts, create, label, validateaddress, unfreeze, reseed, eval, import,
password, sendtx, prioritize, mktx, seed, deseed, balance, payto, history

electrum: error: no such option: -O


Finally this is what I get when I hit enter 3 times (3x close and reopen the console):
12.06.2012  9:58:14,32> electrum -w "../../../../electrum.dat" -o addresses
-- 1ADwVBLHRpnUjq4nSUbP6yDsinHiLQYUBE
-- 14s6FkuN1KXuJV2efBFr6xj7pHmmqqewfn
-- 1FaY7PuSv3bZGpSYA5MeBstvdGQ9jW9LSw
-- 1ARcWC1EKrjHHgR6N7cZ3yHxbdv744TQ8K
-- 1Fdkh7jMcBT7E7QjfPPME5C1c3rmAsg3Q3


Sometimes it even needs 4 or 5 "starts" until I get the correct (lower-case) characters.


0.58 is out! I just did away with the command example in the console. Also, in portable mode, it will automatically look for the wallet file in the same location as the executable (no need to use -w at all). Please let me know if this works for you.

Also please could you see if the right-click menu works fine in the GUI (history tab)? Or does it still appear at strange places?

@flatfly: did you finally fix the menu bug?
could you make public all the modifications that you made to the code? I may want to merge that fix into the main branch.

I still have to test it on a few different Windows platforms... If all is OK I will post the (very simple) code later.
Hopefully it won't cause side-effects on Linux.

I would like to see is a set of compilation instructions, so that independent reviewers can generate exactly the same build and check that they obtain the same sha1 hash

(I believe the bitcoin-qt client is verified that way)



Yes I am aware of the way Bitcoin-Qt builds are made and cross-verified (except for the MacOS version, which Gavin is compiling all alone I believe), and indeed this is a very good security measure that is currently missing in the other clients.

However I use a combination of custom scripting and commercial packaging software as part of my build procedure,
so that might be a problem for others to use, licensing-wise.   I'll see if I can find open-source alternatives.

Building standalone Python apps for Windows (while supporting all OS flavors) can be a pain Sad

Off topic:
Could you tell me what is the easiest way to make an anonymous transaction using electrum?

Sorry, I'm afraid I'm not an expert on anonymous transactions... Perhaps you'd better ask in the general forum?
