Electrum 2.3 error on Mac OS. Does not open. Absolutely. Please, help.

[Ber_17]

A Mac Mini with OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 with all latest updates and patches.

Just installed Electrum. Never used it before. No wallets on this mac. Created a wallet, everything is fine.

Transferred 0.5 BTC to the new wallet. Received nicely, waiting for confirmation.

Closed Electrum.

After 5 minutes tried to open Electrum again. Got a message box: "Electrum error" with 2 buttons: "Open Console" and "Terminate". No error number, no error description.

Below is a copy of latest Electrum messages from Console.

Is it normal for a freshly released version? Will I ever see my half-bitcoin again?

Please, help.

Appears to be a minor bug.

Easiest solution would be to install v2.2 from here: https://download.electrum.org/electrum-2.2.dmg

As an alternative, you can open ~/.electrum/config in TextEdit, and then on the second line, insert this new line:

Code:

"requests_dir": "",

(just do one or the other, not both)

Fixes on the way shortly (or already here), see below....

sorry, I will fix that asap.

Edit:
I just made a new release (2.3.1) that fixes that bug.
Thanks for reporting it.
Hold on until osx and win binaries are available.

[Ber_17]

Many thanks for prompt reaction.

Version 2.2 seems to work. When the OS X binary is available, I'll pick it up.

Once again - thanks and good luck.
