Hi Guys,

This is my first post here, even though i've reading and following bitcoin discussions for  quite some time. i am going to explain my case plain and simple:

1. bought some BTC on Kraken.

2. made cold storage Electrum wallet on a bootable USB with tails

3. send BTC from Kraken to this wallet adress

4. Make watch only wallet with master public key in my brothers computer to check if the balance was OK (which was).

5. Make watch only wallet on my PC to be able to make transfer orders to send my BTC elsewhere (and the export that orders to my cold wallet, sign them, export to the watch only wallet and broadcast them).


Everything has worked up to step 5. I simply cannot make the watch only wallet on my windows PC. I follow all steps: make standard wallet/use public or private keys/ fill in the key and then i cannot click on next.

Here is some (maybe) important info:

Tails is running electrum 2.8.xx i cant remember exactly but 2.8.something.

Brother´s PC is windows 7 64bits runing electrum 3.0.3

My PC is windows 10 64bits running electrum 3.0.3

I also tried making a watch only wallet in my cold wallet in Tails, and it works just fine.


Any help will be appreciated guys!! thanks a lot
