'deseed' saves the seed in the same 2 column format as 'electrum seed'.
the 2 columns are just 2 ways to represent the same information. if it has to be consistent with 'electrum seed', I guess it is better to change 'electrum seed' instead For example, we could add an option to print the seed as hexadecimal, and the default would be mnemonic (or the reverse) Also, there is a 'are you sure' prompt. Could this be removed or a '-batch' option be passed to bypass interactive prompts?
yes, I think it could be an option 'reseed' looks like it is expecting the wallet seed input file to be 'electrum.dat.seed'. It would probably be better if it simply appended '.seed' to whatever was specified with '-w'.
but this is already how 'reseed' works: it appends '.seed' to the wallet name (whether specified with -w or default). or did I miss something? thanks for the donation, btw. |

Any idea what I'm missing here? Using python-2.7.2-5.2.fc16.x86_64 Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/electrum", line 4, in <module>
import pkg_resources
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 2707, in <module>
working_set.require(__requires__)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 686, in require
needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements))
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 584, in resolve
raise DistributionNotFound(req)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: Electrum==0.49
no idea.. how did that happen? |

What is/Is there a procedure for importing qt client wallet.dat files into the electrum wallet?
You can do it in a couple steps, using the pywallet.py tool to export all private keys from the wallet.dat and then import them into electrum. I'm not aware of a simpler way. no, there is no simpler way. of course, you lose the benefit of a deterministic wallet if you import keys. |

Ok after a few weeks of downtime I just got electrum 0.43c-2 running, and then quickly saw that there was a new version. Updated to 0.49 and now I get this: localhost Electrum-0.49 # electrum
python-ecdsa does not seem to be installed. Try 'sudo easy_install ecdsa' and then localhost Electrum-0.49 # easy_install ecdsa
Processing ecdsa
error: Couldn't find a setup script in ***/Electrum-0.49/ecdsa Running up to date gentoo. easy_install ecdsa gave me the same thing with 0.43c-2, but electrum seemed to run fine anyway, and connected to the server well enough to tell me there was a new version. 0.49, on the other hand, does not. I see. easy_install is confused is because you are calling it from the electrum directory, where there is already an ecdsa directory The easiest way to deal with this is probably to reinstall Electrum from scratch, with the pip command, as stated on the Electrum webpage. Remove your current Electrum-0.49 directory, and type: sudo pip install http://ecdsa.org/electrum/Electrum-latest.tar.gz It should install everything. Another solution is to install ecdsa and aes using pip, instead of easy_install sudo pip install ecdsa
sudo pip install slowaes
Also, is the gtk frontend still supported? I haven't gotten far enough to tell, but I no longer see any such option mentioned.
yes it is: however, the gtk gui is not as feature rich as the qt gui. |

New release: version 0.49 Changes: * new commands: 'deseed' and 'reseed' * new command-line option to run a command offline: -o or --offline * the GUI displays seedless wallets without the send tab, and without seed and password buttons This new version is intended to facilitate the use of offline wallets. * 'deseed' removes the seed from a wallet and stores it to a separate file. * 'reseed' does the reverse. An example of how to use the new commands is provided here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Electrum#Offline_wallet |

Unfortunately, my offline computer for this is an old netbook that does not have video chipset support so it's tui only.
Also, on the wiki, I cleaned up the list of commands (alphabetized) and added those new seed commands.
ok, I added a new option for the command line: -o or --offline as the name says, it performs the requested command without opening a connection; so you can do: electrum restore -w mywallet -o
this new option should work with all commands but I have not tested all the possible interactions. |

Trying to restore a wallet on an off-line computer and failing. I see that being online is currently listed as a requirement, but is there any way this can be changed? I would think restoring from a passphrase would definitely want to be done from an off-line computer.
you are right. the inline command 'restore' will fail if you are not connected. I will try to fix that. in the meantime, here is a workaround: use the GUI, and close the window that stalls saying 'please wait'. it will create a wallet that you can later synchronize online. note: I just added two new commands for manipulating offline wallets: deseed and reseed. (see the wiki) |

this week we passed a milestone:
For the first time, the weekly volume has been higher than during the june 2011 bubble.
During that bubble, the volume was mostly caused by arbitrages, due to the high volatility.
now the picture is very different: there is no volatility, volume is caused by demand.

can you go back to the site and verify the url displayed in your browser?
(if you still see the zaypay number, please post a screenshot)
Yes the option is there. just check the Wallet demo page and you'll see it. https://blockchain.info/wallet/demo-accountSorry about saying you were spreading FUD, OP.  oh, I did not know about that option; I thought it was some typosquatting  |

I found a minor bug in versions 0.48 and 0.48a:
the client does not correctly reconnect after the user modifies the server in the network dialog.
I just released 0.48b where that problem is fixed.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

In lines 100 & 244 in electrum file:
shouldn't it be "from electrum import mnemonic"?
Otherwise I get the below error:
ImportError: No module named mnemonic
oh you're right, I forgot those instances. sorry. (fixed in 0.48a) |

I want a Firefox extension that implements an Electrum client in javascript, and that users can install in one click. I have no experience writing Firefox extensions, so I guess it is better to find someone else who can do that. Here is what needs to be done in order to claim the bounty: - the client should be able to generate addresses, send and receive coins, show the transaction history. - the client should use the Electrum deterministic address generation and mnemonics. It must be able to read/write the wallet on disk, using the same file format. - the client should synchronize its wallet with the server (eg using a timer) - javascript. The code should be entirely included in the extension. No code should be downloaded by the extension. - the extension should detect bitcoin: URIs Note that a big part of the work has already been done by Joric (see http://brainwallet.org/) : his brainwallet code can generate Electrum addresses and sign transactions. What needs to be done is the jsonrpc communication with Electrum servers, packaging the whole thing as a Firefox extension. I am pledging 10 BTC for this task. If you want to increase the bounty, please send your pledges to: bitcoin:1NiiYDMxHgfUH2nFcu5A6z6rix8Yc4cgVsIf the bounty has not been claimed within 3 months (august 11th), plegdes will be returned to their originators (the first input address of the transaction). Update (august 16, 2012): the bounty campaign was not successful. Pledge returned. |

are you going to run full bitcoin nodes on those tablets?
are they for exportation or for the chinese domestic market?
I will defer to people with more knowledge in regards to what kind of software should be installed. The majority of their tablets are sold in the domestic Chinese market, but they ship a substantial amount world wide. I see. Note that Electrum could be used. It is now available for Android, although the Android gui is not as advanced as the Qt version. |

Are you sure about the Electrum module in 0.48? Shouldn't it be lib?
the 'lib' directory is installed as a python package with the name 'electrum' I think you should be able to install it as a package in windows (run "python setup.py install" ) if you cannot do this, I guess you'll need to call 'lib' |
