Compact build of Electrum 1.1 for Windows is ready. I've also included the BkkCoins patch for red debits (see screenshot below) - I haven't published it yet as I'm on the go and probably won't be able to update my website by FTP until next week, but donators can get it early - just PM me.



By the way, I'll take this opportunity to thank my most generous donators:

- minimalB
- bitcats
- genjix
- vuce
- freewil

Your support is greatly appreciated and I couldn't continue to provide quality builds without it!

I discussed it with Tachikoma in August, and he already fixed it in the master branch already. But it hasn't made it into an "official" release yet.

well, it's a pity there hasn't been any release since then.
I will take over for the next release (1.1).
it should be ready in less than a week.

Great! Smiley

Open your electrum.dat file in notepad (back it up first), and look for the server name
and port number currently in there (not too far from the top of the file). If you see port 50000, change it to 50001 and save. Now try to run Electrum again.
(This is a known occasional issue that will be fixed in the next release)

how did that arise?


The default server list (in interface.py) has an error for the port number for electrum.bytesized-hosting.com:

Code:
DEFAULT_SERVERS = [ 'ecdsa.org:50001:t', 
                     'electrum.novit.ro:50001:t',
                    'uncle-enzo.info:50001:t',
                    'electrum.bytesized-hosting.com:50000:t']  # list of default servers

I'm unable to connect using any of the 3 servers available, each time it tries for awhile then shows "Not connected". 
I'm using electrum 1.01-e (flatfly compact build) and this is the first time I've tried loading the program in about 2 weeks.

There aren't many settings I can change beyond switching servers so I'm kinda at a loss as to what to try next Undecided

If that doesn't work, remove the electrum.dat file and recover your wallet from the seed.

That would be great!

Here you go! This is a simple mod of the wallet.py file that automatically copies signatures to the clipboard.

To use it, make sure you are running Windows build 1.01e of Electrum,

 go to this directory: %AppData%\Electrum_SysFiles\1.01-e\C_\ElectrumPY\lib
 and replace the original wallet.py file in there with the one below:

SHA1: d18a4d273105a80a2e655ddabc2513dd004053ec

(for your info, the only source code changes are lines 477-478 and importing the Qt library - feel free to manually review the file if you're familiar with Python)

Is there a way to copy the signed message to the clipboard fast?  It's annoying to select it.

Not that I know of, as of the current release, but I could provide a quick/unofficial patch that automatically copies the signed message to the clipboard, if you're interested.

Sweet!  That was the only reason I was putting up with satoshi client.  Didn't think to ask before now.

Is there any way to sign a message with an address using electrum?  I want to quit using the satoshi client completely.

Sure, here's a step-by-step guide I once compiled for this:


A. To sign a message:

1. Hold SHIFT down while launching Electrum
2. (Only if the address is external and must be imported)
    Import your address by typing:
    e -o import 1YourBitcoinAddress:5YourPrivateKey
3. In the virtual console that has appeared, type:
    e signmessage 1YourBitcoinAddress "MessageLine1\nMessageLine2\nMessageLine3"
  
    This should output the base64-encoded cryptographic signature.    


B. To verify a signed message:

1. Hold SHIFT down while launching Electrum
2. In the virtual console that has appeared, type:
    e verifymessage 1YourBitcoinAddress "TheSignature" "MessageLine1\nMessageLine2\nMessageLine3"    
     (Be sure to include the quotes.)

   If successful, this must return True.  


Note that all of the above can be performed on a non-networked computer, if preferred.

PS: hopefully in a future release, these commands will be accessible from the graphical interface. For now, they are only available through the advanced (text-based) console.

I found an executable with console in the app package folder  and found this error:

/Applications/Electrum.app/Contents/MacOS/Electrum ; exit;
MacBook-pro-myname:~ myname$ /Applications/Electrum.app/Contents/MacOS/Electrum ; exit;
Install zbar package to enable QR scans
Connected to 176.9.206.164:50001
received error: {u'id': 4, u'error': u'limit reached: 1BMRCqkRWGS9v59NfMTDoJn5egPX1fAxJi'}


how can i restore my wallet?



+there seems to be a bug in the mac version.  when i press "pro mode" nothing happens, until i go into the menu and press "about electrum" then it goes to the pro interface.

Hi, this is the Windows build thread... Please post in the main thread for help:

Hi, I lost my labels again! This time I didn't do anything out of place and I don't see any error messages.....

There still seems to be something wrong/corrupted with your electrum.dat file... Were you able to locate it?

It should be in the %appdata%\electrum directory, unless you're using the portable version. When you find it, try to delete it and restore the wallet from your seed. This should create a fresh electrum.dat file.

Hope this helps!

I don't see any electrum.dat files, just electrum files. i deleted everything and the shadow window still comes up. Somehow, it remembers my wallet transaction details??? I thought I deleted everything...

If it still remembers your details, it means the electrum.dat file is still there. It's the only place any electrum data gets stored.

Make sure you enable the "hidden files and folders" checkbox when searching.

Sorry for the slow replies, I'm travelling and can't go online very often.
