Title: Electrum 1.9.8 released Post by: ThomasV on March 16, 2014, 01:27:38 PM I am happy to announce the release of Electrum 1.9.8.
This release includes some features initially planned for version 2.0. Packages are available on https://electrum.org/download.html (signed by me) Binaries for windows and mac will be available in the coming days enjoy Thomas ----------------------- RELEASE NOTES # Release 1.9.8 (This release includes features initially planned for version 2.0) * Electrum servers were upgraded to version 0.9. The new server stores a Patrica tree of all UTXOs, an idea proposed by Alan Reiner in the bitcointalk forum. This property allows the client to directly request the balance of any address. The new commands are: 1. getaddressbalance <address> 2. getaddressunspent <address> 3. getutxoaddress <txid> <pos> * Command-line commands that require a connection to the network spawn a daemon, that remains connected and handles subsequent commands. The daemon terminates itself if it remains unused for more than one minute. The purpose of this is to make scripting more efficient. For example, a bash script using many electrum commands will open only one connection. edit: encrypt/decrypt methods were removed due to a bug Title: Re: Electrum 1.9.8 released Post by: btcven on March 16, 2014, 01:49:11 PM Great! The encrypt/decrypt functions seems to be really useful for services like https://www.b1txr.com or to be able to share Labels for recipients ala "public notes" of Blockchain.info but with more privacy.

I will try to fix them asap.

They should be on the website tomorrow, as soon as Thomas is able to add it there. For users on OS X. I had trouble, again, building the OS X binaries. Please let me know if they don't work for you, and if so on which version of OS X you are running it. Title: Re: Electrum 1.9.8 released Post by: davout on March 18, 2014, 02:31:04 PM Nice !

Title: Re: Electrum 1.9.8 released Post by: dexX7 on March 18, 2014, 03:55:44 PM The new commands are: 1. getaddressbalance <address> 2. getaddressunspent <address> 3. getutxoaddress <txid> <pos> Just to be sure: getutxoaddress does not work with multi signature outputs, right? Title: Re: Electrum 1.9.8 released Post by: EagleTM on March 18, 2014, 04:02:04 PM Just to be sure: getutxoaddress does not work with multi signature outputs, right? I believe it should work - there was a fix applied to servers especially for this. There may be some older v0.9 servers which run an old version of the database (v2) where it doesn't work. Can you test this with electrum.no-ip.org for example? This is an up2date server. If it works, can you please point out the servers which don't yet work?

Can you test this with electrum.no-ip.org for example? This is an up2date server. If it works, can you please point out the servers which don't yet work? yes, it works, but you have to use an updated server. here is the result with electrum.no-ip.org Code: getutxoaddress 6b01861beb0a8e510214650b416af311f8d55b1bae3e83d02dca8578b44288ed 0 Title: Re: Electrum 1.9.8 released Post by: dexX7 on March 18, 2014, 04:18:27 PM Hm. Maybe I'm doing it wrong? All multi signature outputs I tested - redeemed or not redeemed - return null.
I connected to electrum.no-ip.org:50001. Code: >> getutxoaddress("186b4abdca8cf3edcaee8b56c28be9bb481ea1d7ed62903595661118d6d548b3", 0) <--- unspentTitle: Re: Electrum 1.9.8 released Post by: roxtar on March 18, 2014, 06:11:06 PM How are OSX users finding it? Stable?
Title: Re: Electrum 1.9.8 released Post by: btcven on March 18, 2014, 09:17:39 PM How are OSX users finding it? Stable? No problems found on Mavericks or Mountain Lion so far. Report any issue, please. Title: Re: Electrum 1.9.8 released Post by: RoxxR on March 18, 2014, 10:09:35 PM Daemon mode is broken under Windows. Os.fork() cannot be used as it is not platform independent - it's a Linux-only function AFAIK.
Title: Re: Electrum 1.9.8 released Post by: ThomasV on March 22, 2014, 07:05:42 PM Hm. Maybe I'm doing it wrong? All multi signature outputs I tested - redeemed or not redeemed - return null. The multisig scripts outputs you tested are not P2SH addresses. see for example https://blockchain.info/tx/186b4abdca8cf3edcaee8b56c28be9bb481ea1d7ed62903595661118d6d548b3 this is a multisig script, but not p2sh. A p2sh address corresponds to a script of the type OP_HASH160 <hash> OP_EQUAL IIRC other script types are not propagated by the network, you must be a miner to include them to the chain.

Would telll you if it goes bad Title: Re: Electrum 1.9.8 released Post by: dexX7 on March 23, 2014, 08:55:30 PM IIRC other script types are not propagated by the network, you must be a miner to include them to the chain. The multisig transactions I mentioned are standard transactions. So to redefine: getutxoaddress does not work with multisig transactions but with P2SH multisig. :) Anyway, great job. I love Electrum! Title: Re: Electrum 1.9.8 released Post by: bobdutica on March 25, 2014, 03:11:03 PM Electrum is an outstanding Bitcoin client. Thank you for creating it.
I am a retired programmer (C, C++, Java, PHP) and have been away from programming for over 5 years. After using Electrum, I have been motivated to learn Python, and I am most impressed with the language. Thanks again for your outstanding creation.

I love Electrum! non-P2SH multisig txs won't be standards anymore Title: Re: Electrum 1.9.8 released Post by: bsom on March 26, 2014, 02:50:08 AM Daemon mode is broken under Windows. Os.fork() cannot be used as it is not platform independent - it's a Linux-only function AFAIK. Yeah, this is a major bummer. I was hoping to call some Electrum functions from Python, but some of them use 'fork'. Isn't there another way?!? ???

I am using: - Macbook with MAC OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard - Electrum 1.9.8 Does this really did not happen to a lot of people? why could this be happening? I want to send all my BTC from the Multibit wallet to Electrum due to the bug scandal regarding lost funds when you receive the change. Thanks in advance!

I am willing to try another wallet program. How can I get the wallet info from Bitcoin Core to your program? |
