Edit: In the contacts tab, what is the "type" column for? Are transaction labels supposed to be there as well?
Edit 2: I figured out what happened. I had multiple addresses with the same label, and only 1 of each label was saved in the new format, since labels are used as array keys. Any chance this could be changed, or should I just switch to using transaction labels instead?
The "type" of a contact can be 'address' or 'openalias', (you get those if you use the openalias plugin). We will add another type for email addresses in the future. If you want to label transactions, use transaction labels indeed. All the txs where the description was just the incoming or outgoing btc address no show blank after updating to 2.1.
That is expected behaviour. showing random hashes to the user is of little help.

Hi all, I have asmall problem. Now the MPKs in the latest version do not seem to be in hex. And after they are converted they seem to break compatibility with php addr_gen. So I wanted to ask if there were drastic changes in BIP0032 or is there something I am doing wrong here. Thanks for the help.
what php tool are you using? mpk are not represented with hexadecimal in bip32

There is a qr code plugin that you can enable
There is no qr code plugin anymore in 2.0; the qrcode reader is enabled by default. And if you want to display a qr code, use the new Receive tab

if you own two of the private keys, you can restore a wallet that has them (for example with one seed, one xprv, and one xpub), and it will not need a cosigner.
if you do not own two of three keys, your cosigner has to sign the transaction
|
|
|
note: it you need to get access to your coins urgently, restoring from seed will work too

I wanted to buy something from a bitwasp based site. So I used my public key (bip32 key) from that side and the key of the guy I wanted to buy something from.
do you have the corresponding private key from the site? if yes, then you can restore a wallet with two private keys, and that guy's xpub, and directly spend from it So can he just restore a wallet with his key, and my two keys (from the site and from my electrum) and access to my wallet or the coins? And then send the coins to my adress for example, save the file and send it to me that I can sign it?
yes, if you trust him

how did you create the multisig wallet? you must have entered cosigner keys, where did they come from?
|
|
|
if it is a special wallet type (2fa or trezor), then you need to check the wallet type on the first screen, before clicking next. if it is a standard wallet, then you have made a typo when saving or writing your seed.
|
|
|
were you using any plugins?
|
|
|
which version of Electrum were you using? (a wallet corruption bug was fixed in version 2.0.3)
|

Hi all,
i forgot my Electrum password, so i decide to restore the wallet from seed. the restore went good but the balance and history where put to zero and i strangely i had addresses beginning with 3 which are multisig, but i did not make a multisig wallet.
after the restore i got normal addresses beginning with 1 but all my coins where gone. i'm not that worry cause i put only a few mBit to test but i'd like to understand what happen. Can i really trust this Electrum Wallet or should i better get an other one ?
cheers
If I understand correctly, after the restore you had both multisig addresses beginning with 3 and standard addresses beginning with 1 ?? can you post a screenshot ?

Electrum on Windows with Trezor gives the following error when using a separate password from the one used during setup: "This wallet does not match your Trezor device"
Is there any way to use multiple passwords with the Trezor and Electrum?
yes, you have to create a new wallet file for each password

I just fixed that. It will be possible in version 2.1

Either python? is too slow or the code for python is not optimized.
something has to be optimized and I am working on it. I hope theres a solution soon since now i wait for my wallet to let me do something, my notebook is working hard, though the process only is using 13% of my 8 cores. The problem is... i got some bitcoins and i cant get them out anymore because electrum is working all the time, showing me a blank window. Ill try creating a new wallet with the brain sentence. Maybe a fresh wallet is a bit faster so that i can get my funds out at least? Edit: It seems thats a workaround for now. I finished that optimization. It is already on github, and will ship with version 2.1.
