I could copy them here from the Electrum site but how would that help you?

It would help if ThomasV posted them (signed).

Just a small question:

In the "Receive" tab and in my first addresss, I see "*" under Tx!

Why is that how can it be reseted back to zero?

Hi all. Newbie with Litecoin. I downloaded Electrum Litecoin 0.61 for Mac OS X. It did not seem to connect to any servers and I still can't get it to do so. When I press my network button in the client, it shows
Connect To: electrum.litecoin.net:50001:t
Protocol: tcp (instead of http)
Default servers: electrum-bytesized-hosting.com and electrum.litecoin.net.

When I try to change the default server, it does not seem to make any difference. Always saying Not Connected. Can anybody see what I need to do? Thanks

I thought I heard that there was no Litecoin servers active now. You should post in the Litecoin area because I'm not sure many Electrum users are even using Litecoin.

None, Litecoin is NOT supported.

I released 1.7.3 source packages.
Binaries for win and mac will be available soon.

Changes:
* Classic GUI can display amounts in mBTC
* The status bar has an account selector (visible if you have imported keys)
* Changed the way the portable flag uses without supplying a -w argument
* Classic GUI asks users to enter their seed on wallet creation

[sacko]

* Changed the way the portable flag uses without supplying a -w argument

How to use it in portable mode? Is there a tut/doc?

I think it looks for electrum.dat in the same directory as the executable file, unless -w is provided.

if you post a constructive description of what does not work, it might get improved.

I made a more detailed report in this thread: it doesn't even start on my tablet. So nothing works.

I just checked it out; indeed there was a problem with the page. try now (rescan the qr code), it should work.

Still not working form me, same problem as before. Even after removing the previous installed files.
It crash at the same point. It didn't froze the phone this time, but after a few retry the phone rebooted itself.

Hello Thomas,

Here are some 1.7.3 specific bug reports (I have to revert back to 1.7.2 because there are too many regressions in 1.7.3):

I want to share some test results: I discovered the following bugs up to now, all are specific to 1.7.3 (i.e. works flawlessly in 1.7.2):

(1) In the default GUI, when using the new account selector in the "receive" tab, the "Addresses" column collapses in width to a very narrow width - I have to drag the column width back to normal width with the mouse. 100% reproducible.

(2) Command line "electrum mktx": When i have "use change address" activated in the GUI (and then close the GUI to memorize the new setting, and then make the command line "mktx"), my change is still going to another address, not to one of my change addresses (I did not check if it also happens when initiating the transactions from the GUI). Again only in 1.7.3. In 1.7.2 it works as expected.

(3) Command line: The following command is executed correctly in 1.7.2, but not in 1.7.3:
electrum mktx -w electrum_deseeded_online_wallet.dat  -F 16u48JjWLvLX1qnWt1Dm9WvzYP84z1b47P 1KDF6wN6Um1LQDjFoi8vGjcLKph6RGfCfV 0.009

Background: the FROM address (-F switch) has a balance of 0.0097, and tx fee is 0.0001. the target address is one from my wallet.

The error message that I get is:
Error: unhashable type: 'list'

When I omit the FROM address (the "-F 1xxxxxx" field, bold letter above), it works also in 1.7.3.

(4) Sometimes I get errors when starting electrum in 1.7.3. After second try, it works. Only observed in 1.7.3, never in 1.7.2. Sporadic, but occured 3 to 4 times already this evening.


Hence, overall, version 1.7.3 seems to be pretty "buggy" at the moment.


My system is ubuntu 12.04 with "python 2.7.3 from Aug  1 2012, 05:16:07".
I used an own wallet file, not the default "electrum.dat", for all these trys, and this own wallet was a deseeded wallet, because I used it in the context of creating offline transactions (to be signed on an Offline PC).

Hello Thomas,

I have that bug too, but I cannot trigger in in a reproducible way.
I think it has been there for a long time, and it is not correlated with the account selector as far as I can see.
it has been introduced with the column widths.

(2) Command line "electrum mktx": When i have "use change address" activated in the GUI (and then close the GUI to memorize the new setting, and then make the command line "mktx"), my change is still going to another address, not to one of my change addresses (I did not check if it also happens when initiating the transactions from the GUI). Again only in 1.7.3. In 1.7.2 it works as expected.

are you sure?
recent versions of Electrum sometimes reuse the same change addresse several times, until the previous transactions at the address have 3 confirmations.
this is in order to avoid the creation of gaps in the sequence of change addresses, during blockchain forks.

(3) Command line: The following command is executed correctly in 1.7.2, but not in 1.7.3:
electrum mktx -w electrum_deseeded_online_wallet.dat  -F 16u48JjWLvLX1qnWt1Dm9WvzYP84z1b47P 1KDF6wN6Um1LQDjFoi8vGjcLKph6RGfCfV 0.009

Background: the FROM address (-F switch) has a balance of 0.0097, and tx fee is 0.0001. the target address is one from my wallet.

The error message that I get is:
Error: unhashable type: 'list'

When I omit the FROM address (the "-F 1xxxxxx" field, bold letter above), it works also in 1.7.3.

indeed. I will fix that.

(4) Sometimes I get errors when starting electrum in 1.7.3. After second try, it works. Only observed in 1.7.3, never in 1.7.2. Sporadic, but occured 3 to 4 times already this evening.

this is vague...

Hence, overall, version 1.7.3 seems to be pretty "buggy" at the moment.

thanks for the comments.
note that with 1.7.3 you can load and sign offline transactions from the gui

I like recommending Electrum to new users of Bitcoin. However, the Download page is pretty confusing for newbies right now.

I suggest the following modifications to the download page:

• Move a single Windows executable to the top in a highlighted box
• Have a single Mac OS X executable as second on the page in a highlighted box
• Have the Linux option as third in a highlighted box
• Have all other packages, sources, etc. further down the page

version 1.7.2 is out

changes:

* Transactions that are in the same block are displayed in chronological order in the history.
* The client computes transaction priority and rejects zero-fee transactions that need a fee.
* The default fee was lowered to 200 uBTC per kb.
* Due to an internal format change, your history may be pruned when
  you open your wallet for the first time after upgrading to 1.7.2. If
  this is the case, please visit a full server to restore your full
  history. You will only need to do that once.

This happened to me.  What do you mean by visiting a full server?  How is this done?
I am a noob.  Please and thank you.

Should I have any concerns updating to 1.7.3?
