Bonjour à tous,

J'ai perdu le mot de passe de mon Electrum. J'ai utilisé la "graine", ce qui m'a conduit à créer un nouveau portefeuille. Maintenant, ce portefeuille, et aussi l'ancien que je voulais récupérer s'ouvrent avec le même (nouveau) mot de passe.
Tout va bien, sauf sur mon autre PC, où le nouveau mot de passe ne marche pas. J'ai désinstallé et réinstallé Electrum, sans succès. D'où vient le problème et que faire ?
Merci par avance.

PS : et le "captcha" genre jeu vidéo me dépasse complètement, je ne sais pas si c'est une blague du 1er avril, mais c'est infaisable pour moi, désolé...

Bonjour à tous,

J'utilise Electrum sur un PC sous Windows 7. Les dernières versions étant incompatibles avec W7, je pense ''transférer'' mon portefeuille sur un autre PC sous W10. Suffit-il d'installer Electrum sur le nouveau PC et de régénérer mon portefeuille avec la phrase "seed" ?
... Sinon, quelle est la bonne procédure ?

Merci par avance !

Hello,

I am using Electrum for BTC, and Electron cash for BCH, after following the advice taken on this forum. Now I have two Electrum wallets : one "default", and another that I created to manage the BCH fork - lets' call it wallet-2. I am a bit confused with the password managment.

When I open Electrum, I can access the default wallet (almost empty) without entering my pw. A pw is only requested to open wallet-2 (containing my BTC). Is this normal ? Thank you.

Hello
I am in the process of creating a Electron Cash wallet so as to claim my BCH. I have emptied my Electrum Wallet. But I am confused on how to do the transfer of the private key -or is it the seed only ?...

In Electrum when using "Export key", where will the key be exported ? To a directory in my computer, or will Electrum ask for a destination address like the ones used for BTC payment or transfers ? I suppose the latter ?
If so, do I have to create the Electron Cash wallet first, and then take a "receive" address from it, that I will enter in Electrum ?

Or is it only the seed that should be used (the thirteen words), and if so, how ?

I am a bit lost, and I would be grateful if someone could explain. Thank you !

Hi to everyone,

First I'd like to thank all of those on this forum who kindy give help and assistance to us who need support.

I have a couple of questions:

- I use Electrum 2.8.1, and I see that 2.8.2 is available ; should I update ? And if so, does the new version automatically replace the old one ?
- I have copied the file "electrum-2.8.1.exe" from my \C: disk to an external drive. It won't prevent hacking, but does it help if my disk crashes ?  Or is it enough to keep the paper record of my seed in a safe place ?

Thank you.

Hello,

I have noted that in my (Windows 7) list of programs, there is a Gpg4win (2.3.2). I know it is a cryptography software.
Actually when I first installed Electrum, I also intalled Kleopatra, which I thought was needed - but I'm actually not using it (...as far as I know !).

Is Gpgp4win part of Kleopatra or Electrum - or is it required for either of these sotware to work properly ?
I think that I don't need Kleopatra. So if Gpg4win is only related to Kleopatra, can I safely uninstall Gpg4win ?

Thank you for your assistance.

Hello,

I just updated my Electrum wallet to 2.8.1. I read somwhere that al low level of fees may slow the transactions. I seem to understand that the "Dynamic fees" box should be checked in "Tools/preferences".
Are there other basic settings that are recommended to make the use of my wallet both safe, quick and simple (needless to say I am a beginner, although I have done some back-and-forth transfers and payments with Eelctrum) ?

Another question is the following : when I save a copy of my wallet, using the "File/save copye" command, and put it on ahard disk, does this mean that if my PC fails, I will be able to download again Electrum on another PC and restore my orignal wallet (with the BTC not being lost !) ?

Thank you in advance.

Hello,
I read somewhere that your BTC are less at risk if, instead of keeping them on your BTC account (say at Bitstamp), you transfer and keep inyou PC wallet (say Electrum), until you need to use them.
Is this true ?  (if there is a simple answer to this question). Thank you !
