Import works now! It had some swapped digits in my private keys.
The other commands work fine. Can you adjust the parentheses mismatch?

One more request: I dont like that Lucida font. I would appreciate an option to switch the font (sth like Arial).


Im leaving now for 2 days. Donation will follow  Wink



Great news, glad I could help!
I will fix the parentheses in the next build.
Regarding the font, are you talking about the GUI font or the console font?
It shouldn't be Lucida, so could you post a screenshot when you get a chance? Just so I know if this could be Vista related.

Just to clarify, the post of bitcats is about a new experimental build I made last night that includes a full console mode for Windows. See details in  this post if you feel adventurous!

Wow! Well done   Smiley
When I open the exe with shift key, I get: "python )electrum= -o addresses"
So i have to correct the parentheses manually. After that it works!

I also tested the import command, but I just get the message "error". Does it work for you?

PS: I hope you could find some sleep now  Wink

Not sleeping yet Smiley

So the addresses command works for you too? Please could you also try some other commands (balance, history)  and let me know if they work?

For me, yes, the import command works fine, both in online and offline mode.

Please post screenshots of any error messages if you can, they will help me fix the issues.

Errr.. Sorry, nevermind...  Looks like that huge DLL was actually needed (for QT), after all Smiley

Anyway, my next build should be approximately 5.7MB, which compares quite favorably with MultiBit (22MB+Java), Armory (18MB, only available for Win x64 at the moment) and the Bitcoin.org client (9MB).

By the way, I don't understand why they say that there are no "easy-to-install to packages" for Electrum on this page: http://bitcoin.org/clients.html -
Looks like they haven't even tried?  I think every other client listed there is actually harder to install than Electrum on Windows...

I wrote that text. I mentioned this because there's no ubuntu package and no android apk at this point.

btw, I released a new version (0.48) today.
There are no new features in this version, but it should be much easier to install for Linux users, because it can be installed with easy_install
This version might give you some extra work, because some paths have changed.

Coming soon, another drastic size optimization. Expect about a 50% smaller download and faster startup times!
nice!
how did you achieve that?

By the way: all the standard Electrum command-line parameters should work
in my builds, but only on unencrypted wallets at this time. So if a command-line argument (such as importing a private key) appears to do nothing, please ensure the wallet is unencrypted and try again. Once successful, the wallet can be encrypted again.

EDIT: the -w option doesn't have that limitation.

oh, there is still a small change to in the gui:
the seed can be displayed as a QR code, so that the wallet can be imported on your telephone.

oh yes, indeed... I can confirm it works fine on Windows as well.

By the way, just a pointless but fun little idea: store the seed as music!
