I don't see any command line arguments for using a different electrum server host, do i have to reseed the wallet to change this?
all this terminology got meh head spinning..
use the gui |

do you have this for windows?
yes |

Can Seconds be added to transaction times?
Some of my transactions are getting me confused at to which ones are from what.
seconds will not help. there is currently no guarantee that transactions that belong in the same block are displayed in chronological order  |
|
|
|
In other words, wait until you at least see "pending" by the transaction?
exactly |
|
|

Here is a clarification if you have encountered a 'transaction rejected by memorypool' error.
I am seeing more and more of those on the server.
When you send a transaction, there is a delay before the Electrum client displays the transaction in its history.
This is because the server polls bitcoind's memorypool every 10 seconds.
If you create another transaction during this interval, during which the first tx is not displayed,
then your client will pick the same coins again, and the transaction will be rejected as a double spend.

Dunno if this will be helpful, but this is how I keep bitcoind running on my tor exit servers:
bitcoind is fine. we just both upgraded Abe and it somehow corrupted our databases. my server is back now. I applied a workaround, but I still have to understand what really happened, and if the database is ok. |

we are having problems with ecdsa.org and electrum.novit.ro
both servers are down.
sorry for the inconvenience.

Maybe I was wrong. So you can reseed imported addresses?
yes, the .seed file contains your seed and the private keys of imported addresses. The possibility to create transactions offline is one of the most useful features. Though you can't do it straight forward on the command line. Wouldn't it be much easier with buttons for mktx/sendtx in the GUI?
I have no plans to do that soon. My priority now is to stabilize the server. |

Is it possible to create a transaction offline using an imported address? (Deseed and reseed doesnt work with imported addresses)
it should work. what problem are you having? |

For the last couple of hours, the servers at ecdsa.org, btcback.com, and electrum.novit.ro have been responding to:
--> {"params": [], "id": 2, "method": "blockchain.numblocks.subscribe"}
with:
<-- {"id": 2, "result": 0}
Which seems... unlikely. Any idea of what could be causing it?
this is the answer returned by the server when the local bitcoin daemon cannot be reached. this causes the client to display "server not ready" |
|
|
|
it was a server problem. (the gui displays "server not ready") the text mode should display it too. |

bitcoind crashed at ecdsa.org. |

I've been having some trouble with my server, uncle-enzo.info , getting killed by (what I assume is) an out of memory problem. I didn't have this problem before I upgraded to the lastest version of abe and electrum-server.
I'm going to try to debug it further and get back to you.
I have always had memory problems with the server. the memory used by bitcoind increases slowly but regularly; my patches may have introcuced a memory leak, but I did not find it. electrum_server reads the memory pool every 10 seconds. this is pretty intensive, and could also cause this leak. |

it edits the highlighted transaction, as expected.
highlighted by the mouse click I guess, not highlighted before? another finding: just simply switching to the contacts tab and then back to the history tab fixes the behavior. (it has to be the contacts tab specifically)
There has to be something that the contacts tab is doing that the history tab isn't.
Note that the behavior is exactly the same whether the context menu is triggered by mouse or keyboard.
there are two ways to trigger the menu from keyboard: the menu key and the enter key (the purpose of MyTreeWidget is to launch it with the enter key) do you observe a difference between these two methods? |
|
|
|
I can confirm what flatfly found regarding the menu. Maybe it's a Windows-only issue?
maybe. what happens if you pick an item in that menu (for example 'edit description')? specifically, does it edit the transaction where your mouse clicked, or the first of the list, or another one? |
|
|
|
Yes, at startup, the top history entry is highlighted.
Perhaps this will help you find the root cause:
If I switch to another tab (for instance, contacts), right-click an item there,
then come back to the history tab and right-click an item, the menu appears at the normal position.
no idea what causes that; I do not see this problem on linux. if thats too much of an annoyance, you can replace MyTreeWidget with the parent class QTreeWidget |
|
|
|
Hmm seems the bug is still there... And seems specific to the History tab.
Here's how I can reproduce it (on Windows):
1. exit Electrum if it's running
2. launch Electrum
3. just right-click on a history entry
I cannot reproduce that. question: on fresh startup, is there an item highlighted in the list? |

Great idea. How about:

Surely, no one will ever remove those Bitcoins from their address again. Not even me.
Seriously, it's easy to find something as secure as your stuff, Thomas, or even more so: Just find 2 sentences that relate to you and only you. Then add some garbage, such as spelling errors. Or replace one word of your sentence by it's 17031988*md5sum, where 17.03.1988 is your birthdate. Or come up with some other source of noise that's easy to remember for you, but impossible to guess for a cracker.
Tell me, what's your goal, exactly? I guess you are not requesting a new feature, because it's already possible to do what you say with the current client. So, perhaps you want me to say "yes, users can derive their seed themselves, and this method is officially approved by the developers"? Is that what you want? or are you just a troll? I did not say that you cannot derive a seed that can resist an attack. But I hope that you will agree with me that there exists a fraction of users that are not as smart as you are. Some of these users could, by following your principles, end up being robbed. Do they deserve to lose their money just because they are not as smart as you? |

There's a cosmetic bug with the context menu sometimes popping up in a random screen location (outside of the electrum GUI window)... I've encountered it twice already. Anyone else had this too?
I never had that. how did you trigger the menu? with the mouse, by pressing enter, or with the menu key? edit: oh, ok, I get it. with enter, when the current item is not visible below the screen. edit2: ok, that's fixed. thanks for reporting it. |
