silk road much?

Good. please note that this isn not the final 0.42 version.
if you encounter bugs, do 'git pull' to update your version

well, it was described here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Electrum#Multiple_wallets
but I agree, this help page should be listed in the readme

you could use the -w parameter:

electrum -w /usb/path/wallet

Please do not consider the current syntax as a conscious choice; we just needed to start with something concrete.
Genjix asked me to describe what information is needed by the client, and your document does not include that. This is why I wrote this specification.

Please feel free to suggest improvements concerning the syntax & protocol. For example, we can use an "id" field if you think it is better.
Again, I did not make the conscious choice not to use an "id" field; I was focusing on something else. I was focusing on the specification of the services

*I read somewhere that Bitcoin 0.6 can export keys using the command line. See http://keepyourassets.net/2011/12/23/1551/
there is also use a tool called pywallet that does it
*to import keys in Electrum: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Electrum#Export_and_import_addresses

1. export all your private keys
2. create an Electrum wallet
3. import your keys there

that would be fantastic

saw this on ogrr:

(not sure if serious. ..)

you are right, there is a bug here.
Actually I never use the hexadecimal seed (I always use the mnemonic), this is the reasonwhy I did not notice this.
I will fix it.

no, you do not need to change the gap unless you changed it during the normal use of the wallet.
do you get a message from the command line window? what does it say?

no, you did not miss the way to do it :-)
ovidiusoft was willing to implement monitored addresses, but I think he's been too busy lately.
for the moment I am concentrating on ithe client/server protocol.

how about an influx of money into the US dollar?

thanks to this feature of Electrum, it is now cited in Forbes:

oh, and the 2012 official buzzword to say this is "Brainwallet"

the lock icon is a svg, while other icons are png; this might have to do with it.

thanks! I will try to help you.
your wallet generates new addresses everytime one of the last five addresses of its list is used.
this in order to ensure that all instances of a given wallet are synchronized.
(you can increase this parameter if you think that 5 in not enough, by editing the wallet file.)
Problems occur when a given address is used in several transactions.
However, we could display a the description as "default label" for adresses that have no label. would that suit your need?
this is probably a bug.
can you post a screenshot?
also, do you use the binary version, or the python source?
I believe that the python source code can be used on OSX. please share your experience if you have tried and encountered problems.
it is not a new feature, it has been there for a long time.
yes, you can open multiple clients at the same time. you can open the same wallet on different computers, or different wallets on the same computer.

you should not generate private keys on your server, that's not safe.
with Electrum, you can generate new Bitcoin addresses without storing private keys on your server.
This is possible because it uses a "type 2" deterministic wallet, where all your addresses are generated from a public master key.
if an attacker get access to the public master key, they can know the addresses that you use, but they cannot steal your coins.
see this demo: http://ecdsa.org/remote.php

I am sorry if you got scared; this was not our intention, really.
By "difficult", we meant that you would probably have difficulties finding commerces where you can actually spend your Bitcoins.
There was nothing more than that in that sentence. Really.
BTW, we have been very satisfied with your work so far, and we have absolutely no reason to fire you.
Please relax and keep up with the good work.

sincerely,

Tom W.
