Electrum 2.4 binaries

[trior]

Thomas

Downloaded the standalone version but found that it does not work like the previous version (2.3.2) The previous version first checked the local folder to see whether the required files were present in that folder when it started up. The current version (2.4.3) does not do this and create new folders under Users\AppData (on Windows).

Can you guys perhaps look into this for the next release as this will make the standalone version a bit pointless if its going to 'insist' on having its data files on the main drive of the pc.

I was also unable to open any of my wallets but I guess this was because of no hardware wallet support being present in this version. All my wallets are trezor watch-only wallets.

I have a workaround for this .
run command  :

Code:

electrum.exe -P

or You can create a shortcut of electrum.exe at same folder and open properties of the shortcut and add " -P"  at the end of target field.

Tried it but could not get it to even start up. Not sure whether there might have been changes to any of the underlying files. The portable version of 2.3.2. runs just fine from my USB drive with the data folders on the USB but the 2.4.4. stand alone version, as said, does not even want to start up.

If I remove the -P parameter it runs just fine but then creates the data folders in the AppData folder again.

I will wait for the latest binaries to come out. Version 2.4.4. does not work for me in any case as there is no support for Trezor and all my wallets reside on a Trezor.

Any updates on when the next binaries will be available ?

Also, will hardware wallets be supported in the next release?

I was reading on DASH (Darkcoin) Altcoin thread and I saw that OP said that they funded Electrum project so  I assume that the late updates for Electrum BTC is because of Electrum DASH if the developpers are the same of course .

Could be but what I do not understand is that the LTC version, which is essentially a clone of the main BTC version, is miles ahead of the BTC version. They are at version 2.4.3.1 and everything is working. Thinks like hardware wallet support, account names/labels that do not disappear the whole time etc....

The BTC version (2.4.4.) has no hardware wallet support, the account labels is still a problem as they keep on disappearing etc..

At this stage the BTC version seems like cripple ware compared to the LTC version.

Nothing really , as I said on the post above I guess ThomasV is working on Dash coin now and not on Bitcoin and as you can see here : https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/master/RELEASE-NOTES the latest version is 2.5 however it's not complied and nothing changed for whatcomes to the hardware walelt support (they added Support for KeepKey hardware wallet i suppose only)  and if you check the download page you will only see 2.4.4 for downloading .

Rofl no ? I've seen Bitcoin Electrum developpement little bit slow lately so I assumed that you are working on the DASH wallet [Electrum version] because I've seen on their thread that Electrum for DASH is being funded , Sorry.

Thanks Thomas, it would be appreciated as all my wallets are Trezor based so I'm still stuck on Electrum 2.3.2.
