I made another release, 2.5.4, that should fix the 'dust' issue.
|
|
|
|
|
many Electrum servers increased their minrelayfee recently, because of the spam attack.
as a consequence, their dust threshold increased.
I will release a new version of electrum to take this into account

Weird thing happened tonight, I've been thinking hard and I tried an old password - I clicked the seed button on electrum in the bottom right hand corner then entered what I believed could be the password and electrum didnt say incorrect password like it usually does, instead it shown me the below window...  Does this mean my password is close? If I try to change my password however it says the password is wrong, so why does it let me see the above? that's a bug in an old version of Electrum; in some occasions, instead of saying 'incorrect password', it displayed an empty seed phrase. it does not mean that your password is close. all it means is that you are running an outdated version. |

I tried it, but after recovering in 2.5.2 the wallet from seed. I still see the pending tx in a history and BTCs are not available.
What else I can try?
connect to ecdsa.net. that server has upgraded to bitcoin 0.11.1 |

It shows up unconfirmed but has 7 confirmations as of now. I have way older transactions too.
where does it show "unconfirmed" ? In your history, these transaction should be either "pending" or "unveriifed" |

While I'm at it, I got a custom 2.5.2 binary from the Ledger Wallet people that works with my Ledger! So I'm on Electrum with my HW.1 at last!
the official binaries have been updated yesterday, they should work with ledger too. (there was a bug in the initial binaries) |

Thanks! But that is slightly different, I will end up with needing to sign each transaction on multiple computers. That is highly useful, but not for me, I just need a single offline wallet on a raspberry pi. It is only the backup I need to split, with Shamir secret sharing scheme, or something like that.
No, you can sign the transaction with a single wallet that holds all the seeds. Create a bunch of seeds, then go to "restore wallet", pick "multisig", and enter your seeds there. Edit: You could also create a xprv key with Shamir Secret Sharing, and restore your wallet from it. This will not require multisig transactions. Unfortunately there is no way to do this directly in Electrum. What you need is a tool that takes a xprv key (or an Electrum seedphrase), and splits it using Shamir Sectet Sharing. Maybe we could add such a tool to Electrum. |

You can make the error go away by renaming the executable to "electrum.exe"
interesting. does anybody know why? (I am no Windows expert) |

I have problem like this with 2.5.2 cli version. This is fresh install and just created wallet.
Something wrong with number formats maybe? Or how to add more decimal points to value attribute?
This is not the same issue. It is very likely this one: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/1525It is partially fixed in git, but I am still working on it. A workaround is to open the GUI, as it will synchronize correctly your wallet. (if you are on a headless machine without Qt, you can use the text GUI) |

You can create a multisig wallet, with several seeds. Each seed will be your paper backup. see http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/multisig.htmlyou will have to write the seeds manually. (it is not safe to send the unencrypted seed to a printer device.) |

The portable version 2.5.2 works fine and doesn't forget the socks settings anymore. Though the worst problem now are the servers. I finally found a good server i can always connect to. That's not so easy. But when iam connected then the server gives me outdated data. I have 4 transactions unconfirmed since days, though in fact they have over couple hundred confirmations already.
sounds like the malleability attack. can you post the server, and the transaction id? |

Yes, in fact I even put the gap limit to 1000 manually
i am 90% sure it was this address i copied from electrum..
I see only two possibilities: - you did not copy this address from electrum (you are 90% sure, not 100%) - you were infected by some malware that changes bitcoin addresses in the copy paste clipboard. if that is the case, it should be reproducible. edit: of course, using Tails makes the second possibility very unlikely on your side. it might be on the side of the person who sent the coins. |

electrum 2.5.2 was just released, and fixes that.

iirc tails will restore your wallet from seed after each reboot.
if you are not connected to a server, it will not restore all your addresses.
make sure you are connected first.
and please, update to a recent version, 1.9.8 is way too old.

But linux wud tell me when upgrade is available no? How do i safely install upgrade? Sorry I am no techy. Thanks.
which version are you running? |

you need to get in touch with that company; if they have the seed phrase, then they own the bitcoins.
