Well delayed bump ...  can anyone please help?   Thanks...

Additional stuff:

1.  There is an ".electrum" folder in home/computer/.electrum

2.  I used Synaptic Package Manager  to reinstall "dpkg" successfully.   Electrum does not appear in Synaptic

2.  There is a "dpkg-query" in usr/bin (as well as "dpkg" and a few other dpkg related files)

3.  I can install and uninstall packages from the Mint 13 Software Manager.   All programs including Electrum seem to run just fine.



In sum, although I really want to uninstall Electrum, it seems this can't be accomplished with this "outside" package, which doesn't appear in either the Mint 13 or Ubuntu Software Managers.    I may have to just live with this hitchhiking parasite - doesn't take up much memory, and doesn't seem to hurt anything.

But I'd sure like to get it off my laptop - thanks again for any advice...

Bitdimes, thanks...


I agree regarding the fee you were charged, but a couple things:

1.  I hate to ask, but could you try setting a very low manual fee and see if it goes through?   You might also try a manual no-fee.    I know they are giving you a warning, but let's see what actually happens....

2.  The fee I was more interested in was the separate fee charged by the third party when you do a 2FA authorized transaction (which means a 2FA wallet must have been created

Thanks for your help.   It seems that Electrum is used by so many people for a good long time, and I suspect you can reduce at least the manual fees to zero (apart from the 2FA issue).   Thanks for the test...

Chris, thanks will definitely do that (it may be awhile)...

Installed Electrum to Linux Mint in terminal using these commands (from Electrum Download page):

Install dependencies:
sudo apt-get install python-qt4 python-pip
Install Electrum:
sudo pip install https://download.electrum.org/2.6.4/Electrum-2.6.4.tar.gz

It worked, and Electrum appeared in my main menu, under the "Office" category.   Ran it, set up my passwords, etc.   Electrum works and when I start it, I get my "Electrum 2.6.4 default wallet".   Received some bitcoin sent to me.  So all appears to work.  

My problem - when I go to my menu and right click Electrum to "uninstall", the uninstall fails and I get this error messege:

"Unable to locate package electrum"

Also tried from terminal, same fail:

"sudo apt-get remove electrum
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree      
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package electrum"

Thanks very much.  


******************

Addendum:


Tried again and now when I try to uninstall by right-clicking Electrum in Office Menu, I get:

"Unable to locate package dpkg-query"

I clicked "remove", tried again, same answer.   Tried terminal again and still get same fail as above:

"sudo apt-get remove electrum
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree      
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package electrum"

Your help will be GREATLY appreciated.  I really need to uninstall Electrum...

I know that when you use 2FA authentication with Electrum, that they state that there is a "small fee" for the authentication.   Anyone know how much, what %?   thanks...
