sudo pip install http://electrum-desktop.com/files/Electrum-1.0.tar.gz?\#md5\=ba94ba25c2abaa038cd4df9b2e1503ff
Or from your git repo git fetch
git checkout 1.0
python setup.py install
Let me know if that works, feel free to drop by irc if you need some more direct help. if i do that, then i get Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/electrum", line 27, in <module>
from electrum.util import print_error
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/electrum/__init__.py", line 4, in <module>
from simple_config import SimpleConfig
ImportError: No module named simple_config
about the branch: is the correct git location the one on github or the one on gitorious? git branch returns 1.0 ? Github one  |

Which branch are you trying to install here? I would advice you to always use the latest stable branch, 1.0 currently. sudo pip install http://electrum-desktop.com/files/Electrum-1.0.tar.gz?\#md5\=ba94ba25c2abaa038cd4df9b2e1503ff
Or from your git repo git fetch
git checkout 1.0

Are you sure you are on the correct version/branch in git? Can you post your commit hash?
$ git show
commit d659a2f2020b052c8c33f4903091f2d0e64398f2
I think you are on the wrong branch or repo. Here is a direct link to the 6.3 patch. |

Installed on Ubuntu 12.04  PM for the bitcoin address NOTES: I was just introduced to bitcoins a few weeks ago. I was using the bitcoin-qt application on Windows 7. But I was getting tired of switching to Windows 7 just to check the balance, plus the wait time for bitcoin-qt to re-sync with the blockchain info was frustrating, especially after not using Windows 7 for a few days. (I didn't install bitcoind on Ubuntu, because the blockchain db is eating up space under Windows 7, and I didn't want a duplicate eating up space for Ubuntu - ie shared HD). I tried the pre-built Electrum deb install package for amd 64 client via the website. Well the installer dependencies are sort of wacky, and I had to manually apt-get python-twisted and "fix" the install. After which it ran, at first it wasn't connecting to a stratum(sp?) server...then I read the forums and switched from to port 50001, then it connected. But then, I tried importing some keys from another wallet, and I got a "Error: keypair import failed:" with a blank reason. Well, gosh the blank reason was weird. Browsing git did not give me any clues. So, I tried a few more keys, and got the same error...I gave up and downloaded the source, fired up vi added an import pdb & pdb.set_trace() call to look into things....2 hours later I figured out that the ecdsa crypto in wallet.py fairly old, and does not support compressed keys...3 hours later, I gave up on trying to update wallet.py, and just uncompressed the keys before importing them. However, even after successfully importing the keys, the balance never updated... I would post this to the Electrum development forum, but I don't have that right(at least for now). You can always raise a ticket on Github, or even better supply a patch! |

don't know wether this is know, but just discovered a bug in the amount entry field. to reproduce. - enter 1.456
- hit cursor left 3 times
- enter "123"
- see "0.145623" instead of the expected "0.123456"
The cursor is always put to the end of the text after entering something. Same for "fee" textbox. Thanks for the report. I've created an issue on Github and I will make sure it's fixed in the next release. |

Hi Peeps, I'm having problems. The Windows version has been running fine so far so I thought I'd install Electrum on my Ubuntu Linux system too, and it's got a problem. I was given the choice to generate a new wallet or type in an existing seed. I chose the latter so I could type in the seed I generated with the Windows version. But it has been unable to create the wallet, and it seems to be because the client isn't connecting to any servers.
So could somebody tell me why the client isn't connecting to servers? The internet connection here is fine (I'm posting after all!). My client has the standard list of four servers. Oddly, I have a pair of radio buttons that notionally allow me to choose between the tcp and http protocols, but they're stuck on tcp, I cannot select http. Could this be anything to do with the main problem?
There still is a problem with connecting to servers with no wallet present. We haven't been able to find it just yet. Try using electrum.bytesized-hosting.com on port 50001, it's possible it's set to the wrong port in your version. Then shut down the app and start it up again, see if that helps. |

I was playing around with the Litecoin source and used LiteDice to send a test transaction. However I don't see the bet on the site, I'm not sure I messed up my Litecoin source or your site is just lagging. Could you check if you go the tx on your end?

This discussion about GLBSE is a useful one but I feel this topic is not the place for it. When I see updates on this topic I hope to read about developments surrounding ASICMINER. I think these GLBSE discussions would be better off in their own topic.

Please present both sides of the issue. If you use the same Electrum wallet you only need to back it up once. Also, a thief only needs to steal your deterministic wallet seed once. I advise Electrum users to occasionally (at a time you determine, depending on your amount of coins and tolerance of risk) to make a new Electrum wallet, back up the new deterministic seed, and send all coins to it. If you import keys from a non-deterministic client, you need to back up those keys, or the whole wallet that contains them. If you prefer going to bitcoin-qt as the main client, you should be able to import the individual electrum keys into it too.
I have been told the QT client pre-creates 100 private keys, if your wallet is stolen you have just a big a problem. In the end it is all about how you secure your wallet. Just be smart about it and don't leave your seed phrase lying around in plain text. |

electrum is beautiful and I love it now I have few address in bitcoin-qt wallet and few address in electrum wallet... how to merge wallets to have one with all address  You can export the private keys from the QT client and import them into Electrum. The problem is that those won't be part of your brainwallet then. I would just send all the coins to Electrum and use addresses from there from that point on. |

Damn, still can't get it to work  Still "Poking" ? Can you try to delete or rename the electrum.dat file and create a new one? suggestion: perhaps it would be nice to have the client auto-select the next entry in the 'available servers' list if the currently selected server does not respond Yeah still poking. Already tried recreating the wallet a few times it just won't "catch on". Genjix is almost done with his "auto-manage" feature for servers, which should solve issues like these |

so who got the bounty? my address is 1EvCVytASszoUq6S7ioPaLQScjg8ptt5s9 i hoped to win 2BTC for helping but what happen  i though bounty supposed to be given out-amirite? Sent! (I'll be using Bitcoin-QT afterall but I pay my bounties regardless ^^. Cheers!) Thanks everyone. Electrum is apparently no where near user friendly enough to use. Just trust that we are working every day to make it better. Building verification/signing into the GUI is pretty high on my list |

Glad that solved it, have fun setting everything up |

This (or at least the Windows problem) could also be due to the fact that I was using the master branch. I've just made a new build based on the 1.0 branch. The build is 1.01-c - Could you confirm whether it fixes the connection issue on your VM? (SHA-1 for the EXE file: 5f1ada02f4a8c5565f1f21c9291992a5b24ad0c3) EDIT: gtg, will be back online later today Sadly it still keeps poking and not doing much else. If I can find some time later tonight I will check if this is perhaps a issue in Electrum as a whole since I encountered in the non-windows client too. I've had some headaches but I think I nailed it down! Can you take a look at your electrum.dat file? What server is mentioned there, is it yours? What about the port number, 50000? If so, try to manually edit it to 50001 and see if that solves it. Unless I'm missing something, it seems the default server list (in interface.py) has a typo, specifically the port number for your server. This could explain the seemingly random 'stuck on connecting' issue that was reported from time to time. DEFAULT_SERVERS = [ 'ecdsa.org:50001:t',
'electrum.novit.ro:50001:t',
'uncle-enzo.info:50001:t',
'electrum.bytesized-hosting.com:50000:t'] # list of default servers
I think it was set to 50000 in my wallet, tried to edit it but it still wouldn't work afterwards. Do you have a build with the port fixed for me to try out? |

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. |

I just made this commit. Could you merge it into your 1.0 branch and see if that helps you diagnose the problem? |
