You can reuse addresses. You'll find the address under receive tab> main account> used.

The android wallet is buggy and hasn't been updated in a long time. The QR code scanning feature doesn't work so you will have to manually enter the seed.

IMO this wallet should be removed from the electrum site or people will face monetary losses because of it.

That 4 char password had unicode characters in it. That's why it was hard to break. A 6 char password with only letters ("gibberish word") isn't going to be so hard.

You can do this via the command line. Type `electrum help` to see the available commands and `electrum help <command_name>` for command specific help.

As for balance checks in recent electrum versions it spawns a daemon that listens for multiple requests. The daemon automatically dies if no new requests are forthcoming. So you can do periodic bulk checks via a cron job.

Dust means a very small amount of bitcoin. Any transaction with outputs of less than 5430 satoshis will not be relayed by most nodes. So does your transaction send small amounts like that?

You can add individual addresses as watch only addresses using the console tab. First make a backup of your wallet file and then try this:

Code:

imported_keys = wallet.storage.get(  'imported_keys'  )
watch_only_addresses = { '1address1..' : '',  '1address2': '',  '1address3..' : '' }
imported_keys.update( watch_only_addresses )
wallet.storage.put( 'imported_keys', imported_keys )

Replace 1address1, 1address2 etc. with the most used addresses from your old wallet.

Then restart electrum and you'll find the watch only addresses listed under imported on the receive tab. Right click on each of them and select freeze so that electrum does not try to spend from these addresses (it can't anyway cause it doesn't have the priv keys)

The above is all for 1.9.8 and earlier wallets. If you are using the in-development version of electrum from the git repo then don't try this with that.

One domain sold. The rest are still available. Very reasonable prices!

Electrum tried to implement message encryption/decryption in their software. gmaxwell found a bug in it so the feature was disabled. The next version, which is currently under development on their github repo, seems to have that feature enabled so maybe they've figured out a way to do it safely.

You should backup the wallet file as well because it contains labels for transactions and addresses. These are not restored from seed. An alternative approach is to use the label sync plugin. Activate that in tools > plugins and follow on-screen instructions.

That's right. Even if all Electrum servers in the world go down!

I dunno if that was supposed to be ironic, but you can still set up your own Electrum server if none are available.

I don't think he was being sarcastic. He knows what he's talking about:

If you have any specific questions then ask us. Otherwise describe how you intend to use it. Only then can we help you.

Edit: OP has made two posts that are exactly the same. Not looking good this.

What r u talking about ? U r linking to a post of another user !!!

He deleted both his posts in those threads. They were exactly the same and were sending people to this thread. I don't know what agenda he has.

Just want to know if anyone is running a Bitcoin core node on a Debian Wheezy Pi and if this is the most up to date thread?

The latest binaries work out of the box. If they don't look for the ones (in the same tarballs) with 'static' in their names. These have the correct glibc version compiled in.

Bitstamp is the benchmark USD rate if that's what you mean.

You should shut down your computer immediately because the more you use it the lower the chances that any data can be recovered. Then you can remove the hard drive and send it off to a data recovery operation. It'll cost you a lot, though.

I've set up an offline wallet (Armory - Ubuntu OS - offline computer) and now want to print the private keys as a backup in case my offline computer (older laptop) crashes/dies.

What type of printer can I use to be sure that the printer does not store the private key data? Which type of printers should be avoided? Any advice/suggestions would be appreciated.

If you are using armory you should not print out the private keys. Just the root key will suffice. Armory is a deterministic wallet which means that all address specific private keys are derived from the root key. The root key is all you need to backup. To backup the root key double click on the wallet > select "backup this wallet" and then "printable paper backup"

you are not the first, you will not be the last.

What are you implying? Can you please elaborate?

Bitcoin core has coin control since 0.9.0. See the screens here:

https://bitcoinspakistan.com/blog/whats-new-in-version-0-9-0-of-bitcoin-qt/

Select only the unspent outputs of your imported address and you'll keep things separated.

There is no ready made system. You'll have to make one yourself. blockchain.info receive api is one option.
