Hi guys, I would like to know, from who is able to analyze code, if this project is completely reliable. Thank you in advance!

Hi guys! It would be wonderful if with bitaddress.org it was possible to generate SegWit wallets (also protected with BIP38). Is it possible to implement this function? I would be willing to pay to see this possibility realized...
3  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Snap package on: October 30, 2019, 08:11:44 AM
an official appimage is available on electrum.org. why not use that instead?
It is what I use, but if the snap package was updated it would be more convenient.

If you install Electrum from the source code, you only need to run 2 lines & it's more convenient than open .AppImage every time you run Electrum.
It's not as convenient as using snap package though.

Example :
Code:
wget https://download.electrum.org/3.3.8/Electrum-3.3.8.tar.gz
python3 -m pip install --user Electrum-3.3.8.tar.gz[fast]
I tried to install it from source code, but unfortunately it gave me some problems.

I hope that things will change as soon as possible: we all know how much easier it could be to install and keep update Electrum if it were also released as a snap package.
I thank everyone for the clarifications.

Why is the Linux snap version of Electrum stopping at 2.6.4 (while at the time of writing the current version is 3.3.8)? For the user, the snap package version is much simpler and faster to be installed and easily updatable on Linux systems compared to the AppImage or Python sources versions present on the official site.
7  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Installation error on: October 26, 2019, 02:05:54 PM
did you run this?

Code:
sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools python3-pip
In the end I solved it by uninstalling everything and reinstalling through AppImage following the strings shown at the following link; for convenience I bring it here:
Code:
wget https://download.electrum.org/3.3.8/electrum-3.3.8-x86_64.AppImage &&
chmod +x electrum-3.3.8-x86_64.AppImage

Did you use the instructions on the download page that are labeled " Run without installing: " or the ones under " Install with PIP: "?
I tried to install it using strings next to "Install with PIP:"
It seems like you did the latter because the electrum binary is in ~/.local/bin but then there should not be a dependency issue now. Maybe try the following:

Code:
python3 -m pip install --user dns

If it doesn't work then just do a run without installation.
Output:
Code:
/usr/bin/python3: No module named pip

I installed Electrum on Ubuntu 18.04 by launching the strings present at this link, but starting the program nothing happens. If at the terminal I type "sudo electrum", this is the output:
Code:
Error: No module named 'dns'. Try 'sudo python3 -m pip install <module-name>'
What should I do?

Don't do "sudo electrum" to run it. You don't run electrum as root. Just type "electrum" to run it. If that doesn't work post the output of "which electrum"

I never did "sudo" Cheesy The error comes up with "electrum" and that's it...
However, the output of "which electrum" is as follows:
Code:
/home/piero/.local/bin/electrum

EDIT: In the initial post I actually wrote "sudo electrum", but it was a typo, I never tried to start Electrum as root...  Undecided
10  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Installation error on: October 25, 2019, 03:17:47 PM
Yeah sorry it might be pip3 instead of pip for some versions of Linux that haven't changed their environmental variables yet. Try that.
Output:
Code:
/usr/bin/python3: No module named pip3
11  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Installation error on: October 25, 2019, 02:09:20 PM
sudo python3 -m pip install dns

It's asking you to do that, you may as well try it and report back if it doesn't work (if you haven't already) it's been a while since I installed electrum on Linux so I'm not sure exactly.
Output:
Code:
The directory '/home/piero/.cache/pip/http' or its parent directory is not owned by the current user and the cache has been disabled. Please check the permissions and owner of that directory. If executing pip with sudo, you may want sudo's -H flag.
The directory '/home/piero/.cache/pip' or its parent directory is not owned by the current user and caching wheels has been disabled. check the permissions and owner of that directory. If executing pip with sudo, you may want sudo's -H flag.
Collecting dns
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement dns (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for dns



What should I do?

Install the missing module by typing in sudo python3 -m pip install dnspython
Output:
Code:
