I'm very new to electrum but I like it a lot. Like the mnemonic to restore your wallet  but doesn't this always depend on the electrum servers operating? No. You can always generate private keys from the seed (the mnemonic), as long as you have the source code of the generation process. but that still depends on being able to download electrum no if you didn't save the source  If it does maybe make the wallet into some kind or encrypted p2p for downloading the wallet So making electrum into a clone of the original wallet but instead of sharing the blockchain it shares the electrum wallet download. If you have the client then you have the source. The possibility of it not being available online AND no one having a client anymore is practically zero. As for the rest of your post I don't understand what you're trying to say. |

How can you say the community is non-existent when there are new bitcoin project popping up almost every day?

So the departure date is on the 7/27, and we decided 1 week prior to that (7/20) would be enough to make use of any donations, if bitcoin100 is still willing to chip in.
I have also completed my exams for this semester so I will be more responsive from now on if there are any further questions.

The 256-bit number of the private key doesn't have to be low. As long as it is less than:
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFEBAAEDCE6AF48A03BBFD25E8CD0364141
you'll be safe.
Actually it doesn't matter, but it is inefficient to use larger values than the order of G in the ec group. |

Use ripemd-160 to hash the message and blockexplorer to create the address.Use sha256. (hex will import into blockchain.info and I imagine everywhere else also) |

I'll start playing around with the java client from google... maybe i'll learn something...
No need for you to dive into the code, MultiBit is based on BitcoinJ. Electrum is another great thin client. |

Ok, but when will this be implemented? My SSD is running out of space!  I assume it will be when it becomes a problem for the majority of users. There are more pressing issues at hand. If you're not able to run a full node than try one of the thin clients. |

vuce, i made an implementation of the server backend and created the server frontend so i can help you out. you should come to #electrum on Freenode.
Managed to figure it out, but I'll drop by if I have any more questions, thanks genjix! |

Thomas, is there any specification for the server commands? I have trouble with some of the "methods" (namely "blockchain.address.subscribe"), but it might be due to me not understanding what it actually does. I've looked at the stratum protocol draft (I'm assuming electrum uses this or is at least based on it?) but it doesn't seem to have any real info either.

Is there a way of getting "blockchain.address.get_history" from a certain block hash onwards only? I'd imagine downloading full history of some addresses with a lot of traffic might be somewhat resource-consuming. Maybe something like: {
"id": 0,
"method": "blockchain.address.get_history",
"params": [
"17Su3J2RWnm2WLqf8pfpgj4hFUf6MFH9SZ",
"000000000000077b2195a0c9db6f4179cb98ef579f300943b3a69357ac9e2028"
]
}
With the block hash from subscribe this could be very useful. |

I moved my original wallet out of place and created a new one, everything is working again. Somehow my wallet got corrupted?
After trying to connect to an other server; wallet seems bugged again, can't connect to any of the servers again.
Weird stuff happening ^
Can you open your wallet file, find where the server string is and delete the "u" in front of the server, and check if it works then? |

I couldn't get it to work on HTC desire as well. I'm porting it to java though, so it will run natively on android (soon, hopefully).

Can somebody explain to me what the "Gap Limit" is used for. I am trying to translate it but I think a literal translation might be no suited in this case.
Gap Limit denotes the number of (visible) coin-free addresses that are available in the client at any time. For example, if gap limit is set to 5, then at the beginning there will be 5 addresses available. As soon as one of those gets some coins a new one will be added. |

@flatfly I did some more digging why I couldn't change servers, and I think I figured it out. If I change the server using electrum the wallet updates as 'server': u'electrum.novit.ro:50001:t' , where the (working) default was 'server': 'ecdsa.org:50001:t' . If I make adjustments to the wallet by hand so that "u" is not appended everything works perfectly (I am able to connect to other servers like that just fine). Really strange... I haven't had that kind of issue at all. Just curious, does the wallet recovery procedure work for you, or does it also fail? Nope, not working either. edit: confirmed by another friend, but only for tcp
Really? Does he have the same version of Windows as you? Using the latest version of Electrum too? Yes on both counts. I'll try on a different windows version when I get the chance. |

What is malicious about a BTC botnet ?
One that doesn't include any transactions at all could be marked as "malicious".  |

Google indexing links to Instawallet wallets which people voluntarily published online
This is not so Care to elaborate on that? All this time you're denying everything we say without explanation. I think he means those links were not published voluntarily but were sent on emails(gmail) and indexed from there. We already know they read emails to show contextual advertising, why not grab any URL inside and index them? Even if this is so I don't know how that is relevant. E-mails are plain text so sending such url over e-mail is no more secure than publishing it on a website. So basically this still has nothing to do with torwallet's security but with people's stupidity. |

If total oil production goes down by half, what happens to the price of oil? Bitcoin is no different.
Difference here being oil is burned and bitcoins aren't. You need new oil being produced, no one "needs" new bitcoins being mined - old bitcoins will be traded over and over again. |
