Title: [BUG report] False Balance
Post by: tsoPANos on July 10, 2015, 05:17:33 PM
One of my addresses in Electrum 2.3.3 shows a non-zero balance although it doesn't have any unspent outputs. However using getaddressbalance(address) I got zero balance!
Note that this is a manually imported key. The other imported keys show correct balance.
That happend after upgrading from 1.9.8-->2.3.3(Luckily I backed-up my old 1.9.8 wallet :) )
Although 2.3.3 supports only sweeping keys, it imports the keys from old 1.9.8 wallets.
Sadly 2.3.3 seems to have poor support for imported keys.

Code:
>> getaddressbalance("1*********************************")
{
    "confirmed": "0",
    "unconfirmed": "0"
}



Yet it comes with many nice features 1.9.8 didn't have wich I love.
Electrum looks so simple but it works and it seems to be the only mature spv wallet out there
allowing full control of your bitcoins.


Also is it possible to have more words in electrum wallet seed to increase security?
