Electrum 2.7.0

[longbob72]

It does show the transactions on the history.  I meant on the receive tab... i use to have a few addresses.  It showed how many times i used each address etc.  For example, there is one bitcoin address i used so many times compared to others.  So do i still have this address or not?


When i go to wallet, addresses, it just shows the receive page.


Shows my receiving address which is just 1 address.


So that means i only have 1 receiving bitcoin address now?  Thus my old bitcoin address that i used so many times with electrum 2.6.4... i dont have it anymore?

You should still have all your addresses from before.
Addresses page (tab) and receive page are two completely different thing. Can you post a screenshot of this "receive page" you mentioned?

My receive page looks like this


Receiving Address:  XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Description: 

Requested amount        BTC

Request Expires      1 day



There is only one receiving address.  Unless there is something in the settings i have to change?

press ctrl+a to bring the addresses tab into view. you will see all your receiving addresses there.

i did this and it does show the addresses now.


It shows 20 addresses for receiving tab but all of them show 0.


For the change option... theres about 15 addresses and one of them is the one i used the most and it shows the amount of times i used it.



So how many bitcoin receiving addresses do i have then?  So i have 35 different bitcoin receiving addresses?


The one that shows on the receive tab is the first bitcoin address on the Receiving on the addresses tab.

How do we set custom fees in the new electrum version?
The slider bar doesn't lend itself to selection of fees at the satoshi level.
I usually adjust the fees so that there are no dust outputs.

Tools > Preferences > Uncheck "Use dynamic fee" (under the fees tab).

You have an unlimited number of addresses. These are just the ones that have been generated to date. More will be generated once you start using addresses.

I tried to install v 2.7.9 on Linux Mint 18 and it did not work. This is the output I got:

You are using pip version 8.1.1, however version 8.1.2 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

Any idea on how to fix it?

edit: never mind. It worked by "Installation from Python sources"

okay so curious on this.  Do most of you use the receiving address that is shown on electrum on the receive tab?


Or you use the other ones?  So that means based on what i described, i have 35 different bitcoin addresses that i can give others if i want to receive bitcoin right?

They are the same thing. You'll find the address shown on the receive tab on the address tab also.

But i never used that address once.  I used this other one at least 50 times etc.  No issue with me using the one i always use right?

Yes. Though it's not recommended to use one address too much (privacy concern, mostly).

don't fixate too much on addresses. think of them as disposable entry points into your wallet. you use an address once and then you never use it again. that doesn't mean that you can't use it again. it's just that it is bad for your privacy because all transactions are public. so best not to reuse addresses.

2.6.4
Is Still possible to use it? for how long?

You should be able to use it just fine until it's no longer supported or an update that makes it obsolete/problematic comes out. Probably won't happen anytime soon, if ever.

I just installed the latest version 2.7.14 on OSX over the old version. When opening electrum it tells me that my trezor wallet contains multiple accounts, it should not. I don't know why it is telling me that ...
I don't know how to proceed. I might find an older version and install it before opening the latest version to make sure nothing important is lost.

I can also absolutely not lose my transaction history from the old version for example or names I have given to addresses... I guess my old version was something like 2.6.x ..  is there a risk that I will lose anything whatsoever?

Solved: After backing up the wallet, I answered to split the wallet. It created two new wallet files  wallet.0 and wallet.1. I answered not to delete the old wallet file, as a result the question to split the wallet came up every time I opened electrum so I moved the old wallet out of the folder.
All functionality is available as far as I can see. Initially the "Addresses" tab was gone but it can be brought back easily from the menu. Trezor was recognized.

we removed the logic that handles several accounts in the same wallet file and gui window.
accounts are now handled in separate files.
it also improves user privacy.
