PS: Just to confirm, there's never been a bit of malware in my builds. It's always been against my values. (Also confirmed by my VirusTotal reports)
Sorry, but this kind of statement is completely misleading. An antivirus report will only detect viruses. It will not detect whether you deliberately introduced a line that sends user's money to an address controlled by you. This is what I mean by malware. What I'm writing here might be obvious to 99% of readers. However, I believe it is necessary to say it, because you seem to imply that a virus scanner report makes your builds trustable. |

Again, are commands available on the windows build?
I don't think they are. if we do not manage to get this working soon, we will release a command-line only build. |

That's a bit of a slap in flatfly's face, wouldn't you say? I hope you talked to him before you did that..
It seems that flatfly has been kicked out. Thats deplorable!
I like his work.
We (slush and I) are working to make the build process transparent and open, in the best interest of users. Flatfly's builds are not open source (violation of GPL, despite my repeated demands) and it is impossible for other developers to verify what he puts in them. I am sure flatfly is a honest person. However, that is a personal opinion, not a certainty. I cannot run the risk of exposing hundreds of users to a massive scam, just because I failed to have the right opinion on someone. |

source packages and binaries for Windows are now provided with gpg signatures. Windows binaries are built and signed by slush. To verify the signature of a package, you must first import the public key of the person who signed it. For example, this is how you import my gpg key: curl "http://pool.sks-keyservers.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x2BD5824B7F9470E6" | gpg --import Then you do this to verify a file: gpg --verify Electrum-1.6.1.tar.gz.asc Electrum-1.6.1.tar.gz |

I just installed Electrum 1.6.1, and having trouble importing keypairs. Apparently the command for this has changed from "import" to "importprivkey". At terminal, I'm entering, electrum importprivkey <public key>:<private key> I'm asked for my password, and after entering that, the return I get is Keypair imported: False Any ideas as to why this isn't working? I know I've got the right keypair. My distro is peppermint 3 (based on Ubuntu 12.04) if that helps. Dargo the syntax is now the same as with bitcoind: electrum importprivkey <private key> |

Please note that I have removed links to third party binaries from the website.
I did this for security reasons, because I believe third-party binaries are the #1 threat for Electrum users.
If you need windows binaries, I invite you use the "official" Electrum builds, which are linked on the website.
These builds are provided by slush (Marek Palatinus), and they are completely open source.
We are also trying to make these builds 'deterministic', so that they will be verifiable by everybody.

Electrum 1.6.1 is released. see http://electrum.org/download.htmlChangelog: == Core * It is now possible to restore a wallet from MPK (this will create a watching-only wallet) * A switch button allows to easily switch between Lite and Classic GUI. == Classic GUI * Seed and MPK help dialogs were rewritten * Point of Sale mode: requested amounts can be expressed in other currencies and are converted to bitcoin. == Lite GUI * The receiving button was removed in favor of a menu item to keep it consistent with the history toggle. |

@flatfly: I am making here the same remark as I made in bitcats thread. ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=131762.msg1445858#msg1445858) Electrum is free software, released under the GNU GPL Licence. This means that third parties who distribute builds must publish the source code they used to create the build, the compiling instructions for the build, and any modification they made to the code. I do not think that using commercial software to create your builds is in itself a violation of the licence. However, all the modifications you have made to the original code must be published, as well as the method you used to create the build. |

Good news: The new release is ready to download  http://ge.tt/4xwlU5V/v/0Various improvements have been added to the GUI This version fully supports compressed keys (the new key format from bitcoind). It is now possible to import keys and delete them in the GUI Electrum version 1.6.1 has not been released yet. Of course you have the right to name your build as you wish, but it really complicates the task of developers who try to diagnose bugs if you distribute binary builds that use version numbers that are not consistent with the official version. In addition, please note that Electrum is free software, released under the GNU GPL Licence. This means that third parties who distribute builds must publish the source code they used to create the build, the compiling instructions for the build, and any modification they made to the code. |

I will either remove it, or add a similar reverse button to the lite GUI.
Thanks for changing that That's done: the lite gui has the same switch button now. I will make a 1.6.1 release this week end. |

I realize it was a mistake to introduce a button to switch GUI without an easy way back.
I will either remove it, or add a similar reverse button to the lite GUI.

that's not the right md5, reload the downloads page; there was a missing file with the package, I fixed it after a few hours.
if you have a recent version of pip, you might need to uninstall before you can install it again: "sudo pip uninstall electrum"

Hi, the service seems gone, and also Firefox refuses to visit because of a self-signed certificate.  yes, sorry for not updating this thread. the service is gone and I refunded users. |

I am using electrum 1.6.0
I tried going to a free bitcoin website to see if my wallet address was working (one of the five that electrum gave me)
Seemed to work since I tried another address and "it said" you already have a deposit in your wallet.
The problem is the electrum client
When I first started it out, it was the expanded GUI client interface ,
Unfortunately now all I see is the small skin interface without the usual commands
After searching for the last two hours, I still don't know how to go back to that larger GUI screen as there are no buttons to indicate how to do that.
Any ideas ?
I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 (32bit) and I am just starting my knowledge of linux and Ubuntu
but learn quickly.
argh, frustrating when all i see our posts about the code etc. which is above my head
it is in the menu, 'classic gui' |

I look forward to test the new windows build. Where is the changelog?
it's in RELEASE_NOTES ; but I now realize that it is not comprehensive |

Version 1.6.0 is available.
This version contains an important bugfix; the previous versions had a bug with the seed encryption, that could (in some rare cases) damage your wallet file.
Therefore I advise you to download the new version. (also, always you keep a paper copy of your wallet seed, it will protect you from that kind of bug.)
This version fully supports compressed keys (the new key format from bitcoind).
It is possible to import keys and delete them in the GUI
Various improvements have been added to the GUI (see changelog).
The 'import' command (command line) was renamed to 'importprivkey', to make it compatible with bitcoind
Windows and MacOS builds will be available soon.

I understand that you can change it to have more unused receiving addresses in your wallet. But if you do change the gap limit you will need to remember the new gap limit you've just set to be able to restore your wallet in the future.
I just checked again in the code and see the gap value is not used in the hash for generating new addresses so it should be fine to change the gap in an already used wallet. I thought it was when I looked before. My mistake earlier. Also, it just occurred to me that since it's not used in the sequence generation you can use a higher gap during restore and it will still find your addresses. So if in doubt then enter a larger number then likely you used originally. exactly. note that the window tells you what is the minimum value you can use to restore your wallet (1 in the screenshot), and the software will refuse a value that is lower than the minimum |

As you might have noticed, the Electrum website has moved earlier today; I was able to get the domain name http://electrum.orgthanks to all the donators who made this possible. |

you cannot import addresses using the GUI.
you cannot delete addresses
So there is no way for windows users to use the commands (import, addresses -abk, ...)?? flatfly's build works with the command line |
|
|
|
Help needed:
How can i import addresses with the official windows build from slush?
How can i delete addresses?
you cannot import addresses using the GUI. you cannot delete addresses edit: now you can (since version 1.6.0) |
