A new Windows build (1.01-c) is now available. It should fix the connection issue for new wallets. Could you try it?

There seems to be a new problem: electrum no longer prompts for password encryption when creating or restoring wallets at the command line. and it throws the following error: Wallet saved in '\...\Application Data\Electrum\electrum.dat' Traceback (most recent call last): File "(electrum)", line 258, in <module> if password: NameError: name 'password' is not defined EDIT: found the issue, there's a TAB character in the whitespace at line 207 that screws it: password = prompt_password("Password (hit return if you do not wish to encrypt your wallet):")
Which branch was this on? Master: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/master/electrum(I don't have a github account to change this at the moment) If you are building stable versions of the windows client I will always use the version release branch. 1.0 in this case. I will see if I can fix the issue, thanks!  Edit: just pushed a commit, could you check if this fixes it? I am unable to check it atm. Yes, this has fixed it, thanks And I wasn't aware of the release branches... I will use those to make stable builds from now on. |

I can't get Electrum 0.60 or 1.0 to connect to the network on Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64. I have PyCrypto 2.1 (Python 2.7). I don't know what other information would be useful. It's the same issue that's been reported before where Electrum can't connect to the network. Upon launch, I get a window says, Please wait...
Addresses generated: 0
Kilobytes received: 0.0
If I close that window, I can get the seed, create a password, and then get to the main window. However, in the lower left hand corner of the main window, it says "Connecting" then "Not connected." Switching servers does not help. I added Electrum to my trusted programs list in Kaspersky Internet Security, but that didn't help either. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Hi, we are investigating this issue with 1.0. 0.60 should work if you delete and re-create your wallet file (electrum.dat) - please could you try? |

I just made this commit. Could you merge it into your 1.0 branch and see if that helps you diagnose the problem? Thanks! I'm getting a more explicit error message now. > electrum verifymessage 1EPtpYzA43o3Mj66Hd18TFUjHc6eR eqfDq G+ueV7eOuAkLcPgdy99cL2v+tRBv+oFDqPUTjJtBxyeL8dNWHKSYAvQBt2BF7ZwFh6eeuvqzxf qmZzCRNFAROEo= HelloAll Verification error: Incorrect paddingFalse > Not sure what the problem is, at this stage... it means that there is a problem with the format of the signature, not that the signature itself is wrong. try to add quotes around the signature. Thanks, it worked with the quotes! In the meantime I found that it also works (without using quotes) if you simply type "python electrum verifymessage ..." instead of just "electrum verifymessage ..." |

Who is sirius? I mean, is his real identity known? Did anyone ever meet him?

Hmm, returns False for me... Seems to be a windows-specific issue then. I'll try to determine if it has something to do with my build process. electrum verifymessage 1EPtpYzA43o3Mj66Hd18TFUjHc6eReqfDq G+ueV7eOuAkLcPgdy99cL2v+tRBv+oFDqPUTjJtBxyeL8dNWHKSYAvQBt2BF7ZwFh6eeuvqzxfqmZzCRNFAROEo= HelloAll
False

signmessage / verifymessage don't seem to work for me, verify always produces False - could someone else test as well?
I am aware of the issue; there are two problems: - a module was mising in setup.py this is fixed in git (see recent commits) - verifymessage fails with compressed keys (the new format used by the satoshi client). the result is that it will return False on a string signed by the satoshi client using a recent wallet. this was reported by nanotube. it is not fixed yet. Verifymessage still seems to always fail for me... I'm not using compressed keys, I'm just trying a basic test, signing and verifying myself. Does it work on Linux? What's the status on this? Can anyone verify that verifymessage works? Doesn't seem to do it for me. EDIT: I'm not using compressed keys. |

No problem!
I had trouble getting Electrum to connect, not sure if that's isolated to my Windows VM though. Are you available for a chat on IRC by the way? I love to have you more closely involved with the project you are doing an awesome job at the windows client.
Thanks! I would be honored to have a chat about it. However, unfortunately, I will not be available on IRC until later this week. About the client not connecting from your VM: does the previous build (0.60) connect successfully? |

I could finally prepare a temporary Windows computer with all required dependencies and compile a 1-click build of Electrum 1.0. Both regular and portable versions are now available. Same download location as usual: http://dre.redmartian.org/elecwin.htm**Special thanks to genjix and tachikoma for their precious help!** Note: this build still defaults to the "pro" GUI. If you want to give the new "lite" GUI an early try, just drop to the console and run "electrum -g lite". But it's still under heavy development. |

Thanks for the explanation. I agree the one-time seed stretching delay is reasonable (about 45 seconds on this old laptop).
45 seconds! It's only once, but still, that's stretching it... I'll look into speeding up the SHA256 implementation I'm using, but can't promise anything. The screenshot helped a ton, thanks! It's the window width: Twitter bootstrap (the UI library I'm using) tries to render a different layout below width 980px that I didn't test, and it breaks everything! Thanks again for all of the feedback! Hey, I'd like to send you a little (0.512 BTC, the most I can afford) donation for your chrome extension. Even though I'm not using it other than for testing, I think you made a great job there? Where do you want the donation sent? |

Is this still the place to get the code to build the server from? For ABE, yes. So for electrum server? I looked around and it was the only link i could find. Disclaimer: my brain hurts. It's here: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum-serverI agree it could be made easier to find. Perhaps add a direct link to it on the website? |

Maybe something like this will work better:   My favorites so far! |

Does your last post mean you could recover the total amount?

flatfly: Could you eventually make a portable version of the new electrum client?
I still don't have a Windows computer, so didn't plan to do that before September, but as you're one of my top donators, I will see if I can borrow my dad's laptop, secure it properly, and make an early 1.0 portable build Thanks a bunch but you dont need to hurry. I prefer a stable version. Sure, me too |
