Yes that would be far better idea. The list is too long and outdated. Having 'Donor' next to the avatar is good.

Two 10,000 bitcoin Pizzas says it all. Donor status should be awarded to all donating 0.001 bitcoin

Agreed. Great logical example

I think getting donor status is not on anyones mind any more. Just not worth it and nothing to gain.

Sorry about your issues. I hope Shapeshift realise how far their level has dropped.

It is a shame. ShapeShift has lost a lot of customers because their service went downhill

Thank you, I am going to play around with this but seems so easy to install with ubuntu

I ran electrum daemon on Ubuntu to test the code but now want to run it on Amazon AMI. I have not found a "sudo yum" way to install electrum with all its python dependencies.

I have been searching online but not had any success for over 2 hours. Does anyone have a link they could share please

Well years ago if somebody donated 10 bitcoins at $1 each and in return received donor status for a total of $10 it seems fine.

In todays day and age nobody will donate 10 bitcoins at $12,000 each and in return receive donor status for a total of $120,000.

That sounds very logical

In that case no-one in their right mind would donate enough to have a donor status

What about Dash daemon?

I know there was a scam version of electrum dash that people highlighted recently.

I know these two electrum daemons are safe:

Electrum Bitcoin (https://electrum.org)
Electrum Litecoin (https://electrum-ltc.org/)

Are there any other safe and secure 'official' or 'community run' versions of electrum?

Are these Electrum Bitcoin Cash and Electrum Dash accredited by any organisation and safe to use? I need to run these daemons on a remote server.

https://electrum.dash.org/

Thanks

Thanks for this link. I am looking at it now.

There is no ICO

I have got the required information sent to the database but the following python code has no effect at all:

def update_confirmations_and_date(connection, confirmations, tx_date, txid):
with connection.cursor() as cursor:
cursor.execute('''
update tx_history
set confirmations = %s,
date = %s
where txid = %s ''',
(confirmations, tx_date, txid))

update_confirmations_and_date(connection, confirmations, tx_date, txid)

Please advise on what needs to be changed. When I execute the python file all new addresses and associated payments are sent to the database but there is a problem. When the information is sent first time in the tx_history table it does not get updated. Specifcally the confirmations to not get updated. When I trunacate the table, execute the python file and then reload the database all the address information in updated and current with all confirmations showing. If I do not truncate the table then exisiting addresses confirmations do not get updated.

Executing the python file does everything else correctly, including sending correct information to the 'addresses' table to update the "balance_confirmed" and "balance_unconformed" status but it does not collect the confirmations information from the daemon and send it to the database.

What am I doing wrong with the above code?

Am about to put electrum on the ecommerce server but need to know about the electrum payment function from here (http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/merchant.html#)

electrum setconfig requests_dir /var/www/r/

and

electrum setconfig url_rewrite "['file:///var/www/','https://mydomain.com/']"

then

electrum addrequest 3.14 -m "this is a test"
{
   "URI": "bitcoin:1MP49h5fbfLXiFpomsXeqJHGHUfNf3mCo4?amount=3.14&r=https://electrum.org/r/7c2888541a",
   "address": "1MP49h5fbfLXiFpomsXeqJHGHUfNf3mCo4",
   "amount": 314000000,
   "amount (BTC)": "3.14",
   "exp": 3600,
   "id": "7c2888541a",
   "index_url": "https://electrum.org/r/index.html?id=7c2888541a",
   "memo": "this is a test",
   "request_url": "https://electrum.org/r/7c2888541a",
   "status": "Pending",
   "time": 1450175741
}

Are the above guidelines mandatory for electrums payment structure to work?

For it to work and best fit my needs I think instead of having a pop up at index.html showing the qrcode and timer slider I would rather have the qrcode and timer slider on my checking_out.php. The checking_out.php file also has other information related to the ecommerce store on it so the above code would be incorporated but would the timer slider still work if the default guidelines were modified? Avoiding a pop up qrcode is preferred. I suppose pop ups are not exactly great when using mobile phone right?

Absolutely loving electrum. The more I play with the code the more I love it. Experimenting with python and learning along the way

Thank heavens I will not be paying for a massive blockchain or waiting for it to sync !

Yes I am going to do this.

I needed to find another solution because the orders placed in the store need to be updated as and when confirmations were received. I think I have that part covered using a python scriptbut needs further testing. I was going to do it by testing using a small bitcoin payment but the tx fee is quite high. I am looking at trying to learn about transactions and exporting to database using testnet.

Thanks for confirming I will need to have new addresses for each order and in some cases I will also need to assign a fixed address for specific customers.

From 24th Dec all new MEOW mined will be on the original fork so your ne MEOW mined from 24th Dec onwards are useless that is unless someone keeps addnodes for Kitteh alive and keeps it going.

Should have compared the prices with Changelly (much cheaper than ShapeShift)
