[prashant.singh]

I have heard a lot about Electrum-wallet, but have never used it. I have few question regarding Electrum mind, does electrum have following properties?

• Is Electrum open source?
• Does electrum support Hd_wallet
• Does elctrum support Restest or Test Network?
• Is Electrum MultiSig?

Is there any other wallet that has above features? I think copay has all features but I am not sure about electrum.

To answer the question regarding the HD wallet, yes, Electrum is an HD wallet. There are different types of HD wallets though, read more details: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Deterministic_wallet

Electrum has been a deterministic wallet from the very start. It adopted the bip32 standard starting with version 2.0 I believe. So yeah it is HD.

It is opensource

You can run it on testnet with the --testnet command line switch

It supports multisig too.

HI, thanks for Response. I am more interested in running electrum on test-net, but unable to find any clear doc on that. Can you explain, How to use test-net in detail? I have openned a new discussion on this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1888177.msg18756326#msg18756326.

I have explained above how you can use electrum with testnet. You run it with the --testnet command line switch:

Code:

electrum --testnet

Run `electrum help` to see more options. If you are using windows then command line switches are typed in a terminal window.

In future try and read the answers you are given. Otherwise there is no point in you asking questions and us answering them.
