Can I still send payments using the "sendto" command from the online server?
I thought using MPK to have read only addresses was supposed to stop that in case the server got hacked.
If you use the MPK to recover your wallet in electrum you can't use the "sendto" command in a console because you are using a watch only wallet.
Unless if you recover your wallet with seeds (not watch-only wallet)
take note it's not really "sendto" command in the console command list in "help()" it should be "payto"
Yes sorry it is "payto" thank you for correcting. I made a test payment in Putty using the "payto" command and ended up with the following:
"complete": false,
"final": true,
The payment was not made to a different desktop wallet therefore the watch-only functionality of a server wallet is working great. I suppose "complete" means "transation completed" and in my case the watch-only wallet shows "false" whereas on a seeded wallet would show "true" and would send the payment.
The more I test and play with Electrum, the more I understand it and think it is awesome. Thanks
