I've had a look in the docs. Searched here. TBS i would have thought there would be a sticky .... Sorry if i've not looked hard enough ... p.s. Especially looking for wallet for ETC, maybe .. Title: Re: List of currencies Electrum handles Post by: OmegaStarScream on August 28, 2018, 02:48:04 PM Electrum is open source and that's why you see Electrum software for altcoins. ThomasV (main developer) is not related to them so you won't see any stickies or docs in electrum official website.
I believe we have Electrum for bitcoin diamond, Electrum LTC, Electrum Dash, Electron Cash (BCH) and Electrum pivx. Title: Re: List of currencies Electrum handles Post by: Coding Enthusiast on August 29, 2018, 03:27:17 AM The list contains only 1 currency and that is bitcoin.
There are however forks of Electrum with different names that each handle a different altcoin.

I've had a look in the docs. Searched here. TBS i would have thought there would be a sticky .... Sorry if i've not looked hard enough ... It is extremely important to note that the (only) official electrum is a BTC wallet. And the only official URL is https://electrum.org/ (https://electrum.org/). Since electrum is open source (https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum (https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum)), a lot of people forked the code and modified it to support different currencies. However, this forks should NOT be regarded as safe. Without code reviewing/auditing, bad surprises may happen. This does not mean that all forks are malicious. But there are malicious / buggy forks around under the name 'electrum'. |
