I'm using Electrum 2 beta, but have no problem sending 0 fee transactions
Tools > Electrum Preferences > enable "Set transaction fees manually"
Send Tab > Fee 0 BTC
Electrum will intelligently calculate the transaction priority based on amount and days destroyed, if your priority is too low, it will stop you "This transaction requires a higher fee, or it will not be propagated by the network."
If you send old coins, then you wont see the popup and the transaction electrum will broadcast the transaction.
i couldn't do this in my electrum with any coin age. it is the latest version (version 1.9.  but when the same private keys were imported in blockchain.info i could send them without any problem. i am gonna give the beta a try now |

electrum is using external 3rd party blockchain, it is dangerous, i don't get this idea... why to risk security for a little less downloading?  good thing about open source programs is that you can check the codes and see if there is no foul play in it, or if you don't know anything about coding, you can search social networks like here, reddit, or github and be sure that a famous application like Electrum or Multibit will have some people who checked the code before and also it is not "a little less downloading" it is the difference between 25 gigabytes of data and 30 megabytes both downloading and having enough disk space for it |

i dont think the halvening is going to effect directly on the price although it will have some effect since the "supply" or new coin created every day will decrease while "demand" can be the same
also miners will give up mining since it is not gonna be profitable anymore, although i am not sure how that can effect the whole transactions and price

Hi All, I have been following Bitcoin for over a year and was the first person ever to put my house for sale for bitcoin. http://www.cbc.ca/newsblogs/yourcommunity/2013/03/alberta-man-accepting-bitcoins-in-exchange-for-home.htmlNot sure if you followed my story from a year ago, but the house just sold on Friday, and will make the news tomorrow I suspect. When the house closed on Friday I got approximately 648 BTC for my house which is based on prices over the past 6 months when the deal was actively negotiated, legal fees, realtor fees, and a bunch of contract wording that I frankly don't understand. I am now all in! I really believe in bitcoin. It is the future of the world. I look forward to the continued price increase and one day I plan to own my own island. I will truly be a bitcoin billionaire by the time I am 25 I believe. This house was inherited from my father who passed away a few years ago and he always believed in me and told me I would make it big one day and so I shall. Wish me luck  Tay More how is the island's weather? i hope it not in a thunderstorm... |

i only hope this recent increase in price is not only a little "jump back"

and this old question about the best coin to invest and yet no answer!
i tell you what sadly no one is gonna give it to you. you have to get there yourself. search this forum and also use google. read the [ANN] threads of coins and find the one you think is reliable and stick to it

it looks like business is good since the faucets run out of money so often!
|
|
|
|
|
what business do you own that you can double the money in 100 hours!
|
|
|
|
|
well there is no guarantee you win even in a game with 50% chance. i just lost over 20 times in a row right now with 49.9% chance to win!

I don't think BTC is dead.
i agree, it is not dead but took a pretty bad hit to the face |
|
|
|
yea i meant how do Wallet Developers earn money
as far as i know they just get donations. take Electrum for example, there are lots of servers that you can connect to and they just accept donations and the service is completely free |

What is the best online wallet without any tax / fees.
Except for blockchain
BitGo.com is keep charging me to pay the miners
Why do you want to send a transaction without fees? If you don't pay the fees your transaction will never confirm. never is not right i will be confirmed eventually, the good thing about BCI is that if it is not confirmed within 48hr it will be sent again with a new tx with same settings |

I've read what it says on the site but it still confuses me. Could someone explain how they go together?
wallets that you install on your pc like "bitcoin-qt" need the blockchain which is a huge file (more than 20GB) but there are wallets called "light" which don't need the whole blockchin and connect to a server and only download the "headers" which can be as big as 30 MB |

I understand that the price of bitcoin is slowly dropping, but is there real need for panic?
And also, if anyone knows the mechanics of bitcoin, why is it failing?
the reason for panic is some people bought large amounts a couple of month back and now that the price is falling they are panicing also mostly start panic selling so it further increases the drop in price |
|
|
|
|
is there any lightweight wallet which lets user set 0 fee for transactions?
i am currently using Electrum, and despite it having an option to change the fee, i couldn't set it to zero!
|
|
|
|
just hope the bitcoin price doesn't change while the barman is waiting for the confirmation |
|
|
|
you are gonna laugh and laugh and laugh again some more in the near future. don't worry too much about it just laugh some more  |

there is one thing, or better said one major flaw in what you said, and that is Altcoins are dead already. i can't find any that is not a pump and dump or losing price over time.
if you know any i would be more than happy to look into it
how about sdc,vior,uro,mon,nxt,counter i've known a little about NXT, but not others. i will look into them. thanks for introducing |

is there going to be an open spot in this camp and more importantly is the sig camp going to continue?
|
|
|
|
to be honest, nothing at the moment. i have faith in bitcoin but it is diminishing especially when i saw 170$ after that i am interested in NXT |
