Title: "S-Electrum" - Offline Wallet User Frontend for Electrum (Linux/bash-based) Post by: Michael_S on April 26, 2013, 02:45:42 AM I know that current version of Electrum (1.7.3) supports offline transactions already, which is very good.
But anyway, I have (apparently in parallel) created a collection of Linux bash scripts that provide a very comfortable and fairly noob-proof front-end to do offline transactions on a pair of offline & online PC (& a USB stick of course). You can download my PGP-signed file at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/18219492/Bitcoin/S-Electrum_v1.0.zip.zip UPDATE: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/18219492/Bitcoin/S-Electrum_v1.3b.zip.zip (recommended to be used with Electrum 1.7.2 or 1.7.4, as of today, 17 May 2013) After having installed Electrum and having extracted all files of that zip container to a folder of your choice, you just need to call ./selectrum.sh in a terminal window. That's all. (whatever you want to do, you never ever need to call any other script than "./selectrum.sh") The user will be guided through all steps, be it the
Everything is kept as fool-proof and comfortable as possible - despite this being a script running on the console. I am using it now myself (a new EeePC is my dedicated Offline PC...) and find it very comfortable, so I wanted to share it with the community. Personally, I find it more comfortable than the Electrum GUI's built-in function for offline transactions, because you cannot really do anything wrong if you use it. The script will know if this is your online or offline PC, it will show you only that menu options that are applicable in the given situation, it remembers the mounting point of your USB stick from last time and reads/writes there by default using default file names instead of querying the user where to load/save transaction files, it has many consistency checks, etc. So overall, there is less clicking, because e.g. it reads and writes from/to USB stick automatically, using default file names. Some "screenshots", so you get an idea...: When you start ./selectrum.sh the VERY first time on your respective PC, you'll see this: Code: ===================================================================== Later, the "Main menu" of your offline PC e.g. will look like this: Code: ===================================================================== Hope this is useful for some of you.
