So I am updating from the 1.8 branch and have a few questions:
- Where do you toggle between expert mode and normal?
no more. everybody shares the same user experience. - Gap limit option has been removed, right?
it has been hidden. it was unnecessarily complicated for normal users, and it is not a good method for merchants. - The copy option under the file menu is the new way to backup the wallet?
yes - Default wallet has been moved under wallets directory. But what about other wallets? They open fine but I want to know whether they will be "upgraded" in future?
they will still be supported. you may move them to your wallets directory |

It would be nice if there was a graphical interface for this (maybe like Armory does it).
You can use the Tools > Create transaction > From CSV to send to many addresses at once. I know and that is what I would use (or console, depends), but having a graphical interface to create a sendmany transaction would help users that have less knowledge about creating Bitcoin transactions. how would that differ from the CSV input window? |

We just released version 1.9.4, with binaries for mac & windows.
This should fix the various bugs reported since 1.9 was launched.

ECDSA 256 bit key only has 128 bits of security. Public key systems generally need larger keys to deliver the same key strength as symmetric encryption.
exactly. for technical details, see the pdf at http://ecc-challenge.info/ |

Hi
I am using electrum 1.9 client - I sent 0.5 bitcoin - which shows correctly in the History
But right clicing the entry and looking at transaction there are 2 transactions - one for 0.5 and one for 0.788 - in 'Outputs'
I have not sent any other apart from the 0.5 , and only the 0.5 one shows in history - I do not understand what the 0.788 entry is doing there , also the 0.5 has been in 'pending' for 2 hours now ..
very confused and a bit worried ..
Any ideas ?
the 0.788 output is probably your change |

Not the smoothest of upgrades, that's for sure. Takes a little of the shine off the venerable Electrum  indeed, sorry about that. we are actively working on these issues, and I hope we'll get better binaries next week. |

Its over 24 hours and the transaction is still not verified whats going on?
Edit: Deleted everything to do with Electrum and reinstalled using my seed and now its verified, quite a serious bug.
indeed, you are the second user to report that i gets fixed by restoring from seed. apparently something was corrupted in the wallet file |

I also temporarily removed the portable build from the website; it was broken.
apologies for the mishap; I hope we will soon have a fixed build

Well my first test transfer completed and verified with no problems within 30 mins. Its only when I transferred the rest of my btc that it wont verify. The transaction is currently sitting at 146 confirmations when I look on blockchain.info. Also now the program wont connect at all it either says not connected or just sits at synchronizing forever...some real help would be greatly appreciated.
please report if you were using the windows portable version of 1.9 it is broken and I removed it from the website |

I just made 1.9.1 packages, that fix a few regressions: --offline mode, portable mode.
I hope we will soon have binaries from Animazing.

|
|
ok, if you are reporting a regression, please mention if it occured with the "windows portable" build
|
|
|
|
|
are the connection problems encountered with portable builds?

The seed is 128 bits long. (which is very strong, because it corresponds, in terms of bruteforce iterations, to the strength of a 256 bits ecdsa public key, not to a 128 bits key)
The seed is encrypted with the user chosen password.
Whenever something needs to be signed (for example if you spend bitcoins), then the seed is temporarily decrypted with the user provided password.

Hi, thanks for the update. Was wondering where the dollar value went though? Why did you get rid of it? It was on the bottom left right next to BTC amount.
It is a plugin now. See Menu Tools -> Plugins -> Exchange rate Electrum can integrate third party applications as plugins. |

Thanks. Auto-connect was enabled. Internet connectivity is normal, version 1.8.1 seems to be working but not 1.9.
if you click ok, it should work. otherwise, try to select a server manually... |

if you are in trouble, restore from seed. And what about labels? EDIT: I think the problem is that new release of Electrum stores the wallet in "default_wallet" file in "wallets" folder. So, how to restore the "electrum.dat" file? Should i open a new topic about this issue? menu-> file-> open and you can open any file |
|
|
|
I found some old seeds I had when I first started messing around with Electrum; is there any way to find out if there is anything on them without having to re-install?
no you have to reinstall (unless you want to give the coins away) |
|
|
|
staring at a red dot when I want to transact just doesn't do it for me.
click on the red dot. enable auto-connect. click OK |
