[ANNOUNCE] Electrum - Lightweight Bitcoin Client

[moni3z]

Is there anyone that is working on the android client?

I run electrum on an android jb phone using just the regular .py scripts
There is no l337 UI to load it up though, just a terribly simple android scripting ui I hacked together from this example:
http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/wiki/UiExamples

The build I use is running SEAndroid, and I'm also using PySkein to encrypt the wallet.dat and upload it to random cloud servers as a backup

that's great!
maybe you could share your code?
does it work with the latest SPV version?

Thomas - Electrum 1.3 is not respecting the prioritize flag, 0.61 was fine.  I've not tested the freeze feature.

Hi!

 Electrum is great!! Tks!

 But, is there any chance to upgrade from 1.0 to 1.4 using "apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade" anytime soon?

 I'm using Ubuntu and there is only electrum-1.0 on that repositories...

Tks!!
Thiago

Hi!

 I just install Electrum 1.4 without using Ubuntu repositories... No problem...   =)

 When I close Electrum, I'm seeing the following message:

Code:

Exception in thread Thread-3 (most likely raised during interpreter shutdown):Exception in thread Thread-2 (most likely raised during interpreter shutdown):

Ubuntu repository was created by me. I know I should have updated the repo long time ago. Sorry for that. I'm not going to do that now because the disk on the server is passing out. My electrum server is down at the moment for the same reason. After VM running bitcoins.sk is migrated to new server (this month, if we are lucky to get some missing parts from ebay) I will build new packages and push it to the repo. I'm also going to automate the repository and key installation process. If it's not done by the end of this month, feel free to yell at me on #electrum @freenode

can someone reproduce this?

[ThomasV]

Here is version 1.5.

changelog:
* the history displayed when a wallet is restored from a pruning server has been improved : all pruned transactions are combined into one line of the history, labeled 'pruned transactions outputs'
* the network dialog indicates for each server if it is full or pruning
* it is possible to restore or create a wallet while you are offline using the gui (the command line was required before this)

I've confirmed for myself several times (I'm sure you want independent confirmation :-)) that prioritization is broken.

Freezing is fine.  I'll try 1.5 soon.  Thanks.

Is it possible to use Electrum behind Tor?

I just get the message "not connected" when using the following settings:

Socks4 | 127.0.0.1 | 9050

Socks4 | 127.0.0.1 | 9050

which server are you trying to reach?
recent versions of the client filter out old servers that do not use the 0.6 protocol

I tried all of the ones available in the list. Using elec11-f575.exe

I've made binary release of 1.5 for those of you on  OS X. It will most likely work from 10.7 and on but feel free to test it and let me know.

Hi, I'm afraid I'm getting an incorrect global balance (0.050 while it should be 0.076) when connecting to any pruning servers. I also got the below error in the console a few times but I'm not sure if it's related to the issue:

Code:

File "\Application Data\Electrum_SysFiles\1.5\C_\ElectrumPY\lib\gui_qt.py", line 407, in address_label_changed
    self.wallet.update_tx_labels()
AttributeError: Wallet instance has no attribute 'update_tx_labels'

sorry about that. I don't know what could cause it..
do you get this when you restore from seed?
does the wallet have imported keys?

Yes, the issue still persists even after completing wallet recovery from seed.
No, there are no imported keys.

Not sure what other info I could mention. It's not a test wallet, so I can't share the
seed, but would it help if I sent you the master *public* key?


PS: unfortunately, I probably won't be online very much for the next few days

 Exiting from Electrum 1.5, Ubuntu 12.04, gives me:
