Code:

electrum -v
path /home/christian/.electrum/electrum.dat
Install zbar package to enable QR scans

What does electrum -v give you ?

[Tachikoma]

And then it quits back to the console?

[xchrix]

no it doesnt quit. it just does nothing. i have to press ctrl + c to get back to command input.
is it possible to start without zbar? i am not able to install it. btw i havent changed anything on my computer but it runs a very old version of opensuse but due to some issues i cant update the whole OS

And then it quits back to the console?

[xchrix]

is it possible to just show the seed from the command line? without really starting electrum? so i am able to restore my wallets on another computer

[Tachikoma]

Is it possible it's just validating your transactions? Open Electrum open an acitivity monitor like top and see if Electrum is doing something.

Try:

Code:

electrum getseed

What version of Electrum is planned to support payment requests? Waiting for the ref client implementation first?

Anybody else is having problems downloading the last version for mac ? The executable is still 1.9.4

[Tachikoma]

Thomas removed the OS X build, I need to ask him why, there was a problem with it I just can't remember what exactly.

Is there any security problem on be using the version 1.9.4 on Mac?

[Tachikoma]

Not that I know off.

The problem was that the client doesn't connect and the Network button/option doesn't work/open neither in OSX versions older than Mavericks.

Seems my Python lib installation is broken somehow but I have no clue what it could be. Tried googling to no avail.

Please help

I installed electrum and can I ask why are there already addresses in account I have not created ANY addresses this should be empty I cant even remove any. All I want in there is the one I import from my private key

[TheButterZone]

When you generate a new wallet seed those are the seed-generated addresses for that wallet.

There is no option to remove an address.

You can remove an imported address. You can't remove a seed-generated address, only freeze it and collapse the tree. I forget if there's an option on startup to not use any seed or restore from seed, and have an empty wallet you just import privkeys into.
