Bitcoin Forum

I wanna promote the awesome Electrum client, and at the same time, encourage new users to experiment with bitcoin easily. For this reason, for a limited duration, I'm offering 100 800 satoshis to each of you going to the Electrum website, downloading the client (for any platform) and posting a screenshot of it in this thread, along with your OS details and any feedback you have on the client. Payments will be made daily!

Please note:
1. I reserve the right to stop this promotion at any time.  
2. Your forum account must be at least 3 days old to participate.
3. I'm not able to provide tech support. For that, post in the official Electrum threads.

LOL! 0.10 US$ for 100,000 user!  ;D

Yea that's a cheap marketing campaign :)
Hey I'm not rich, I'm just doing it for fun...

Does this count?

Yes! Very good. Post your OS details and an address where I can send the bounty :)

Bumped the bounty from 10 to 100 satoshis!

Mac os 10.6.8

This happened on Electrum 1.0 when I first tried it last week, and on 1.01 which I just tried after reading this thread. IIRC the console msg for the 1.0 crash was the same, the gui_lite module not being present.

Sent!

Well I don't know if I recieved the BTC yet, you see I didn't run my BitcoinQT client at all yesterday and I've been catching up with the blockchain now for ~1 hour. If that isn't a free advert for thin clients then I don't know what is lol.

Next bounties will be sent in a few hours. Qrs, your account is not 3 days old, sorry. Jasinlee, please post your OS details.

Lol

Please use the apt packages, that will work fine. Or do

That will solve the python.py install issues.

The Electrum dmg will only run on OS X >= 10.7. You could still install it manually if you want.

PM for the bitcoin address

NOTES:

I was just introduced to bitcoins a few weeks ago.  I was using the bitcoin-qt application on Windows 7.  But I was getting tired of switching to Windows 7 just to check the balance, plus the wait time for bitcoin-qt to re-sync with the blockchain info was frustrating, especially after not using Windows 7 for a few days.  (I didn't install bitcoind on Ubuntu, because the blockchain db is eating up space under Windows 7, and I didn't want a duplicate eating up space for Ubuntu - ie shared HD).

I tried the pre-built Electrum deb install package for amd 64 client via the website.  Well the installer dependencies are sort of wacky, and I had to manually apt-get python-twisted and "fix" the install.  After which it ran, at first it wasn't connecting to a stratum(sp?) server...then I read the forums and switched from to port 50001, then it connected. 

But then, I tried importing some keys from another wallet, and I got a "Error: keypair import failed:" with a blank reason.  Well, gosh the blank reason was weird.  Browsing git did not give me any clues.  So, I tried a few more keys, and got the same error...I gave up and downloaded the source, fired up vi added an import pdb & pdb.set_trace() call to look into things....2 hours later I figured out that the ecdsa crypto in wallet.py fairly old, and does not support compressed keys...3 hours later, I gave up on trying to update wallet.py, and just uncompressed the keys before importing them.  However, even after successfully importing the keys, the balance never updated...

I would post this to the Electrum development forum, but I don't have that right(at least for now).

Sent 500 to DeviledMoon and DigitalHermit!

Hmm.. Care to share how you actually 'uncompressed' those keys? I didn't know it was even possible.

You can always raise a ticket on Github (https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues), or even better supply a patch! :)

For general info see http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=CAPg%2BsBhDFCjAn1tRRQhaudtqwsh4vcVbxzm%2BAA2OuFxN71fwUA%40mail.gmail.com&forum_name=bitcoin-development (http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=CAPg%2BsBhDFCjAn1tRRQhaudtqwsh4vcVbxzm%2BAA2OuFxN71fwUA%40mail.gmail.com&forum_name=bitcoin-development)

By the way, I figured out why Electrum doesn't update the balance on these imported but uncompressed public keys...Its searching for the uncompressed public key, not the compressed public  key; the key actually used in the transaction - which is a unique and different address per the bitcoin folks'

thanks.

For my info, do you remember what server you selected when you first started Electrum?

Could you try to delete or rename the empty wallet file (electrum.dat in your Application Data\Electrum directory) and launch Electrum again?

Installation went smoothly. Icons along the bottom seem greyed out? Not obvious that they are clickable

Even though the OP says the promo is suspended, I wanted to check it out. So I've grabbed the latest Windows binary from Flatfly and installed it on my Win7 Pro Netbook.

First impressions

It's nice to see the client fire up pretty fast. For the sake of playing around I've created a new wallet. The setup process is pretty easy and well explained, but should give more advise on how to create a secure password.

The GUI is clean and simple. Guess that's one important factor if you're targeting newbies and/or casual users. I need to put some BTC in that new wallet first, though, to see how Electrum works out when actually used.

Good job!

700 satoshis sent!

Nice review! Post or PM your address to get 700 satoshis :)

i like Electrum too but it does not have a way of managing more than one wallet

Actually, it *is* possible to use multiple wallets but you have to use the -w command line parameter (and there are plans to make this much more intuitive in the near future).

So, on Windows for instance, you could create 2 different shortcuts on your desktop, configured as follows:

 shortcut 1: "C:\Documents and Settings\username\Desktop\pack_kit\elec101e.exe" -w c:\SomeFolder\wallet1.dat           

 shortcut 2: "C:\Documents and Settings\username\Desktop\pack_kit\elec101e.exe" -w c:\SomeFolder\wallet2.dat
 

Hoping this works....

May have had issues, It complained about not finding a wallet file, I ignored it. Hopefully doesn't mess up my regular BC wallet

Just downloaded and installed. So far it works great for me:

Immediate loading with no blockchain download, all the functionality of a regular wallet plus has the brainwallet feature which is AWESOME...

Hope you don't mind me using the portable client. Having a few problems using the regular one. And the fact that it is actually easier to access my bitcoins from a different computer when I need to.

I actually use Electrum a lot, because I like the idea of having a brainwallet, and the servers make syncing so much easier.

I really don't know why there aren't 100 pages in this thread :)

Keep up the good work, coder.

Any chance of a version with combined balances for btc/ltc/dvc/etc

Tachikoma advised to use


but it looks like there is a typo there: it should be python-pip, not python-sip...
