Title: Electrum doesn't start after 2.5.4 update
Post by: bossaudi on December 06, 2015, 08:34:27 AM
hello guys..

i am using electrum 2.0 on my windows pc and everything was going just fine and without any problems..

now i cant send any transactions any longer because of the new update.

but when i update to 2.5.4 or any higher version than 2.0 electrum is just not starting.

please help me, i cant do anything at the moment.

best regards


UPDATE:

now the payment was just normally sent, when i looked at block explorer, there was written "rejected by our node because of high value" or something like that, but everything was going through fine..

im happy about that, but i have no idea whats going on here.

There was an attack that changed signatures. A certain value was changed from low to high. Bitcoin core was patched to not allow high values any more to reduce the impact of the effect. Electrum however used a high value for their signatures (it did not matter in the past) so you will constant problems until you upgrade.
