Im not sure about the label plugin. Labels are not encrypted but transactions and addresses? The website on the other hand claims everything is encrypted. I now used a junkmail to register and hope not too many infos can be connected through it.
Only the initial version of the plugin the labels were not encrypted. Right now every data associated with Electrum is encrypted. |

Still no comment from Ukyo at Bitfunder, which I personally think reflects very poorly on his attitude to scamming there.
I think you should give Ukto a chance to explain the matter from his angle before throwing scam accusations around. All I know he is currently out of the country on business and can't respond. You can probably verify this by his last login date to the forums. As far as I know was Ian himself that closed the asset; not Ukto. |

Im not sure why but since yesterday my electrum doesnt work anymore. I used electrum 1.7.2 portable and it didnt connect. Because it claimed there is a new version i thought maybe something changed and i need the new version. So im now using the version 1.7.3.
The problem is, that it doesnt connect. When i go into the list of servers there is the list, but only the names, nothing filled in at Limit and the dropdown for SSL and so on only shows grayed out options.
After a restart i was able to chose ecdsa.org with TCP and submitted. It claimed synchronizing but didnt come to an end. When i go back into options it says ecdsa.org with SSL. And all options are grayed out. TCP, HTTP, SSL and HTTPS. I cant chose it at any server.
I then restarted and my list of transactions was empty. It says Synchronizing but nothing happens at the end.
I would like to keep all my labels and would prefer not to kill all infos with a new electrum.dat. I mean i had this problem some time ago too and i cant always fill in the infos again.
Can you manually try a server? Try electrum.bysh.me for instance. If you are afraid of losing your labels you could always use the 'labels' plugin to keep those synced between installations and computers. |

At the public library, I tried to download the Electrum client , but I was presented with this message:
...
This is a false positive. I would not worry about it and download it from an other internet connection. ps. Love the name. |

my electrum litecoin 0.61 for mac osx is not connecting, any help?
I would try to update to a version that's not an year old  |

I'm normally not into silly posts but...  |
|

Where did you find that old version if you just installed it?

Can anyone have a cursory look over the source code and point out the changes that were needed for the portable version? Is the official celctrum portable build ready yet? (can't see in the main download dir)
It's only available for windows: http://electrum.org/download.htmlOn any other system you can just use the -p flag. How is the security on a portable client like that?
The codebase is the same; it just encourages using Electrum on a computer that might not be your own. Which is a bad practice for all the obvious reasons. |

Maybe I'm missing something, but I ran Electrum-1.7.2-portable.exe and it created some (settings?) files inside C:\Users...
That's not what I expect from a portable app, it should be all contained in the same folder as the executable.
You are probably talkin about the blockchain header and the electrum.dat I think so, yes. I've deleted them already. All I want is a folder with the executable and all other (settings...) files in it. That's what a portable program should be like. We are thinking of ways to safely do that. For now just boot with -w or create a bat-file that does it for you automatically and it will work as you expect. |

Your public/private keypairs are not affected by which version of a client you are used. These are defined by the protocol itself. You can import those into Electrum at any time you want and it will work. Just make sure you have a paper backup of the keys somewhere since it won't be part of your deterministic sequence for Electrum and the keypair won't be restored when you restore from seed.

The P and F should still be there but perhaps they are hidden by default and you need to enable expert mode.

Actually, I found that if I resync to another Electrum server, the transaction may not exist on the second server. In one case, the original transaction disappeared after a day when I resynced back to the original server. In any case, you can probably respend the coins, if you find that the transaction does not exist on the second server, but should be aware that one of those transactions, either the first or the second, will be a double spend.
This has bit me too :-/ If the transactions show in Electrum as pending but haven't been propagated to the network (no trace in block chain.info), is there a way of resending them? Or do they disappear by themselves and the coins are available again? What happens if I try to spend the coins that are stuck? Will the transaction get thru? (since the network has no knowledge of the previous stuck transaction? Thanks! You could try changing servers and see if the transaction has been seen there, if not try to recreate it.. (with a higher fee perhaps) |

Could you please create an issue here and supply as much information as possible. Which files it created and such. |

Thank you all. I'll try the updated documentation. It would be very nice if electrum generated a file to make the process easier. Something like: electrum maketx <addr> <value> unsigned.tx And then, on the offline node: electrum signtx unsigned.tx signed.tx And finally: electrum sendtx signed.tx I understand that using stream redirection can alleviate the problem on the final step, but the signing would still be very messy. It would be nice to have a simpler command line interface. You can also do all the steps from the GUI, can't get much easier then that  |

version 1.7.2 is out
Is there another source for the md5sums besides electrum.org? Can you post it here, please? I could copy them here from the Electrum site but how would that help you? |

This is not the case. This is only the case if you give out 5 sequencial addresses which all five go unused for some reason.

People supply their MPK. The funds end up directly in their Electrum wallet. There is no step 4.

There is an official portable client. No need to grab files from random file hosters. |

Tachikoma, if you did access the link that I provided leading to this, you would have took note: https://multibit.org/help_runFromUSBDrive.htmlSeeing the instruction number 5 via link above, you will note by create a file by leaving blank and saving into USB drive, will prevent saving in windows user data file. How can you not understand this? Now is it the same way with electrum or not? I still don't understand why you want to run it from USB. Because multibit can do it too?
Your link returns me to the opening topic of multibit, how do you think that's useful for me? If you have a specific question just ask it, don't make me or other people trying to help you out dive into a 64 pages thread looking for the specific paragraph you are talking about. We are volunteering our time to help you at least make it easy for us. I'm done helping you at least. |
