As far as I know this version is completely up to date at the moment. Have you given it time to generate all the cert files?

I've left it for hours with no change, just says 'Not Connected'. I've used my Seed to restore the wallet on OS X now, I'll have to spend some time reinstalling it on Debian.

Got a quick question:
I tried to install electrum on Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty) with the installation instructions given here: https://electrum.org/download.html - It didn't work. I got some error back which I don't remember. It used to work with Ubuntu 12.04 with the same instructions.
Now I could download electrum via the Ubuntu Software Center. But this is not most recent version. Is that one safe still (open ssl, any other security relevant issues?)?

You can install the version on electrum.org if you change the pip install line to the following:

Code:
sudo pip install --pre https://download.electrum.org/Electrum-1.9.8.tar.gz#md5=e3918fec0254267f08e41a1fb8691382

i.e. you just add the --pre switch.

Alternatively you can use the one in your distro's repository. OpenSSL is installed separately and not with the Electrum installation.

Thanks!

What does the "--pre" do?

-> So no security relevant changes? Only feature related changes?

One of the electrum dependencies is a python package called slowaes. Even though it's included with electrum when you do a pip install pip fetches it from pypi.python.org. slowaes' latest version is a pre-release version. In older versions of pip it would install pre release versions without complaint. Now you have to tell it do that with the --pre switch.


I don't think there have been any security related changes bugs in a long time. What version is on the ubuntu repos?

Edit: You can see the release notes here:

https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/1.9.8/RELEASE-NOTES

i need to sign a message and having difficulty- maybe some kind person could refresh my memory
the address i want to sign a message from is in my watching only wallet (1.9.6)- and when i right click there is no 'sign message ' in the context menu. the offline wallet has this option but the address is not listed . How do i proceed? do i need to get the address into the offline wallet? and how do i do that?

Thanks a lot

You will need to use the offline wallet because that has the private keys. You will need to coax it to generate the addresses you need. See this post for info on how to do that:

What does the server see? I mean in case someone looks at the server data can he see all the addresses that are connected to one wallet? Though i guess the label sync plugin should be able to provide the same data, even for more than one wallet when using the same plugin website login.

Please ALWAYS contact me through bitcointalk pm before sending someone coins.

I believe that data is encrypted before being sent to the server.

Oh... doesnt sound good... I mean who knows what those data could be useful for if such a electrum server gets hacked or seized. And the server operator could see it all the time. The same goes for the plugin server.

So its possible to identify the complete wallet, addresses, transactions and property of a certain user only by finding one hint. I dont like thinking about this and im a bit angry why i didnt think about this earlier.

I thought it would be better to create a new wallet and a new plugin account with new email sometimes. But now i think using electrum is a risk in itself. You need to trust every server provider (when using auto connect, which is the standard) and you need to hope the server nor the plugin server gets hacked. Sounds a bit risky. The coins cant be stolen but it sounds still too much for me.

You can run your own server if that is bothering you so much.
