Great, thanks. I will be back online a few hours from now.

Another issue I'm having with 0.43 is that I seem to be unable to send any payments. The client freezes the moment I press Send and I have to kill the process. I am doing more testing.

Nope, it's just that I encountered the same issue as minimalB a few hours earlier
and could solve it that way. I didn't investigate much further.

MinimalB, I believe that the wallet file might need to be re-created.
Can you try to rename it and let me know if it solves the startup problem?

Fantastic! Great job... Everything feels nice and robust, and wallet recovery now works flawlessly! I honestly believe I'll never return to the default client! The corresponding stand-alone Windows build is now available too:  EXE: http://dre.tx0.org/electrum043-standalone.exe (6.5MB) MD5: 5BAD6249F3B8DA268082BE8B1BE28FCB Any comments welcome. |

Sorry, I did mention it was a prelease but I didn't realize you wouldn't like it.
I have taken the link offline until the next official release.

New build! 043a - this is a pre-release but appears to be extremely stable!
EXE: http://dre.tx0.org/e043a-cam.exe [EDIT: link down for now at ThomasV's request]
MD5: 1DBDBF17DE08F9A914669620BCE4AB70
Note: if upgrading from a previous version: delete or rename the APPLICATION DATA\ELECTRUM-P folder first. |

Can you remember how you got your first Bitcoin? I'd love to hear some nice stories - hopefully other than mining or trading on MtGox, unless there's some unusual/interesting detail... I, for one, reached my first BTC of wealth just last week, through a couple of kind donations!  |

Great, I'm glad you could reproduce the problem too. I hope it won't be too hard to fix.

Is there any selfish thin clients out yet? Something I could easily put on new computers?
For Windows XP & 7, I would strongly suggest to try my portable Electrum builds (latest release, 0.42). See here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=73651.0 |

Thanks for the nice feedback!
I've got some new information regarding the recovery issue:
it seems that which server you connect to plays a major role...
If I connect to ecdsa.org, recovery from seed is 100% correct from the first go!
Can anyone try and confirm?
I seem to remember that ecdsa.org uses different protocols than the other servers,
but am not too savvy on the details...

Sure, 'monospace' is not a valid font name under Windows - so, when making my package, I replaced the references to it with 'Lucida Console' (which is one of the built-in monospace fonts for Windows)

Strange, the difficulty of 1Firo is significantly higher than that of 1Sivo - why?
vanitygen.exe 1Firo
Difficulty: 4476342
vanitygen.exe 1Sivo
Difficulty: 264104224

New build is up! Version 042f with a couple of nice little improvements (see top post for change list and download link)

I was just wondering, is there any Bitcoin client that supports including a short message in a payment transaction (such as "donation", "thanks", "gym subscription", whatever)?
If not, is it in theory feasible in the future (i.e., does the current protocol and blockchain format allow for it?)

Yes I'm still encountering this with the latest version...
Let me know it you need more detail from me.
there is a wallet.update() call in the recovery procedure. it waits for an event (threading.Event) perhaps the threading module is not completely supported by Windows? I'm not sure, but I'd be surprised if this was the case. I made further tests and can confirm the issue is still there. The balance shown is then incorrect, as well as the details of the most recent transactions - actually, I've just noticed that even some of the addresses shown in the description column are not the correct ones (until I manage to fully sync everything)! Really strange... (the current workaround is simply to restart/resync the client a couple of times). |

Glad to know that the icons are fine now, and thanks for the donation! Regarding wallet restore, I've been getting the same results... Hopefully, we'll get a fix for this soon. The contact list cannot restored using the seed only, if I'm not mistaken, so I guess it has to be backed up separately, if necessary. Perhaps thomasV can confirm. And regarding copy/pasting Transaction Details, it's already possible! Ctrl-C works, even if the contents are not selectable. Try it and paste in Notepad to test! Hello.
Icons work great now, thanks! I had to try pending icon also, so you should have received a little donation from me : )
Regarding wallet restore: If I ignore "No transactions found for this seed" and open and close program for about 5 times, "History" and "Receive" tabs get all the data, but "Contacts" tab stays empty.
And a little request: is it possible to make content of "Details" window copy / paste-able? For example if you double click on transaction, you can see status, ID, input, output - but user is not able to select that data and copy / paste it.
Thanks.

@mila: no admin rights are required to use this build.
there is no actual "installation" involved - just some decompression of the source files
to the "Application data\ElectrumP" profile folder. I guess we can call it portable
(if used with the -w option).
|
|
|
|
This build should help with the little icon issues Initial decompression should be a bit snappier as well. Try it out and let me know. EXE: http://dre.tx0.org/electrum-042c.exeMD5: 8224A24909280BEBC7719369841ED6CE EDIT: reflected in top post. |
