ELECTRUM OSX QUESTIONS

[jubalix]

Using ELECTRUM (BTC) on OSX

How do you create a new wallet?

I want a to make/get a new seed

IF the electrum severs go down, how do you run your own server to rebuild from scratch/seed?

I am using OSX

I tried from the command line but it did not work



Thanks in advance

Also any views on ELECTRUM

as to security etc etc,

How do you create a new wallet?

I've used Electrum OSX!
Your wallet is located in your home directory in ~/.electrum
The wallet file is called 'electrum.dat'
If you want to create a new wallet (which will come from a new seed), you can use the terminal to rename the current wallet so the next time you run electrum, it will create a new wallet. 
ie:

Code:

mv ~/.electrum/electrum.dat ~/.electrum/electrum.dat.old

So you could basically just rename the wallet file that you want to use.
