Update 4:
Just got an e-mail saying my payment went through, $500 at $317/BTC -> 1.57425774 sent to my Bitcoin address.
Next, I will convert all of my paycheck to bitcoins. I can covert BTC->USD as needed.

Great plugin! This is the best way to accept Bitcoin on your website. The best thing about is it that you don't have to expose your private keys on any server in order to accept payment.

Would it be possible to create some sort of variation where you could implement this into any website? Like a little script or package?

I searched but could not find a clear answer. Sorry in advance for terminology errors. This seems useful:

However I'm not sure I understand how to do the following with that library:

1. Create a HD wallet (i.e. create a new Electrum wallet with seed and all that)
2. Create a new public key that is derived from that HD wallet, or from an existing wallet

My goal is to create a public address that can be presented to a customer on a website. The code will live on a remote server; I would like the public keys created to relate back to a private (offline) HD wallet.

global $AbdBitcoinAddress;
$address = $AbdBitcoinAddress->get_address();

nice plugin, ehmm, is This plugin requires electrum for online ?

i have a couple of Questions about Electrum servers:

1. who creates and maintains these servers?

2. why? i mean where do they get the money to do this, since Electrum is free.

3. what kind of information do i send to these servers when i connect to them?

4. is there any difference between the servers?

5. is it the same as other light wallet clients like Multibit?

I have 100% right 12 words of seed. Also I've got the same words with recognition tool from my QR-code. So I can assert that the recovery by seed is not working correctly in electrum. And I want to warn users of electrum so that they do not rely on the ability to recover the wallet in the similar case.

Hello Abdussamad.

I've install electrum 1.9.8 to windows 8.1 restore wallet from seed and got the same problem empty wallet without my old addresses.
Any ideas?

Regards Anthony

I'm just wondering because I remember reading about adding a USD exchange rate based conversion feature (e.g. tell Electrum to transfer X USD and the client will transfer X*current rate in BTC) a long time ago, but so far, it hasn't been implemented.

I continue recommending Electrum to friends as the single best lightweight client for new users (and old users as well), but it looks like there's a bit of a slow down in updates and new features.

My apologies if this sounds confrontational - it's not intended that way. I'm just trying to figure out what goes on behind the scenes, and if there's a chance I or the community can help in some way.


EDIT: Just read ThomasV's post about leaving INRIA. Good news! (although leaving INRIA must have been tough.... you must be crazy, other CS people would die to get in there ). So I guess in principle, development is more of a focus now than before?
