[ANNOUNCE] Electrum - Lightweight Bitcoin Client

Make it an option?
Set decimals ( 0 - 8 | default: 2  ): [ ]

indeed, when nobody seems to agree on something, it has to be an option.

What if I don't agree on that?

Then don't set decimals

No, clearly, by ThomasV's logic, if I don't agree on it, then it should be an option. Hence, I want the option to turn options off.

Infinite Options!! 

[ThomasV]

not sure about infinite options, but I released version 0.46 with the requested feature.

Changes:
* new option to set the number of zeros displayed after decimal point.
* in the network dialog, display a list of fallback nodes if the server you are trying to reach is down
* the client pings the server every 5 minutes to check that the link is still active


edit: there was a wallet creation bug in the version I put online 10 minutes ago.
whoever downloaded it (1 user), please update :-)

[flatfly]

Great, thanks!

I'm testing it at the moment, and it seems to behave beautifully.

[flatfly]

Windows package is available now! (See link in my signature)

[HostFat]

I can't download it "now".

[flatfly]

Sorry, I just noticed ThomasV's last minute fix... I've taken the download offline and am rebuilding the package.

[flatfly]

Should be OK now, let me know if not.

Thanks ThomasV and flatfly!

0.46 works and looks great. I am amazed at the development speed... truly remarkable.

I've sent another donation to both of you and thanks again!

[flatfly]

Thanks for your great feedback and donations minimalB, things like that keep me going!

thanks, and thank you for your support message on the 'clients page' thread.

[minimalB]

Yeah, i don't understand what is going on on that thread.

It would be a great loss if Electrum is left behind...

Left behind? The author posted literally the post before yours...

I released version 0.47

New feature: frozen addresses (only in Qt for now)

In the recieve tab, you may view the balance of your receiving addresses
The GUI allows you to 'freeze' or 'unfreeze' the address you select.
Coins from your frozen addresses will not used when you create a new transaction.

Nice feature, but unfortunately the client now hangs at startup:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\...\lib\threading.py", line 552, in __bootstrap_inner
    self.run()
  File "C:\...\ElectrumPY\interface.py", line 369, in run
    if self.wallet.is_up_to_date():
  File "C:\...\ElectrumPY\wallet.py", line 299, in is_up_to_date
    return self.interface.responses.empty() and not self.interface.unanswered_requests
AttributeError: 'TcpStratumInterface' object has no attribute 'unanswered_requests'

[flatfly]

Also, a minor issue is that the new balance column in the receive tab ignores the new 'number of zeros after the decimal point' setting

oh I see. it does not ignore it, but it does not update it unless you restart the client. that's easy to fix.

are you sure? how did you get that error?
