[REQUESTS] Minimal Electrum builds for Windows

[bitcats]

flatfly: Could you eventually make a portable version of the new electrum client?

I still don't have a Windows computer, so didn't plan to do that before September,
but as you're one of my top donators, I will see if I can borrow my dad's
laptop, secure it properly, and make an early 1.0 portable build

Thanks a bunch but you dont need to hurry. I prefer a stable version.

Sure, me too

Windows Builds for 1.0 are now available!

Note that there are few apparent changes in this release.
See this post for more info.

Thanks to all contributors and donators for their support!

I can't get Electrum 0.60 or 1.0 to connect to the network on Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64.  I have PyCrypto 2.1 (Python 2.7).  I don't know what other information would be useful.

It's the same issue that's been reported before where Electrum can't connect to the network.

Upon launch, I get a window says,

Code:

Please wait...
Addresses generated: 0
Kilobytes received: 0.0

If I close that window, I can get the seed, create a password, and then get to the main window.  However, in the lower left hand corner of the main window, it says "Connecting" then "Not connected."

Switching servers does not help.

I added Electrum to my trusted programs list in Kaspersky Internet Security, but that didn't help either.

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Hi, we are investigating this issue with 1.0.
0.60 should work if you delete and re-create your wallet file (electrum.dat) -
please could you try?

[flatfly]

A new Windows build (1.01-c) is now available. It should fix the connection issue for new wallets. Could you try it?

Thanks

I tried deleting the wallet file on 0.60, 1.0, and 1.01-c.  It not working on this original computer.

However, I also tried another computer with Windows 7 Home Premium x64, and 1.01-c DID work.  Yay!

Here's a candidate build (1.01-d), with slightly different connection values configured in interface.py, that you can try on your original computer.

Does that work better?

Great news
Remember it's still version 1.01, though - this kind of stuff will only get more intuitive/stable with each new release.

Hi,
I think that some servers will reject a transaction if the fee is extremely low - is that the case here?
Could you post more details or a screenshot about the transaction, if it's not too private?

[squall1066]

I was doing this

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=104630.0

So there was no fee attached (otherwise not worth it) I sent myself 2BTC then sent 8x0.25 and recieved all back no problems.

Did this about 12hours ago, now just cant move it anywhere.

EDIT - Just tryed again, still no luck, But then I tryed to do the whole balance back to me and it got sent!

EDIT 2 - 1BAXx8YU1DyVfKWPQNAArvJrcmHifXgEME Links to me.

Hi Flatfly! I still can't get Electrum to work! This time I get no windows log errors for the latest version I just tried, its pretty mych the same thing as before......unpacking modules then an empty shadow outline for a small window. Any help! My Windows is 7 ultimate 64-bit and is nothing but a standard installation. Are there any prerequisites to running this app or is it self contained?

Hey, no there aren't any prerequisites, the app contains all the required libraries.

As for the strange issue you are having, perhaps the following could help us investigate:

Start Electrum while holding down the Shift key on your keyboard - this should open the virtual text-mode Python console. If that works, just type "e" (without the quotes) there to launch the Electrum GUI. If you get any new error messages
at this point, please let me know.

[Sovereign108]

Wow, that worked in getting me an error message finally! Here it is:

Python 2.7.3 (default, Apr 10 2012, 23:31:26)

Type "electrum -help" for a list of available commands.

Interesting... It could be a "path" issue. Is your system language other than English?

Also, if possible, could you post the output of the following command:

 dir /S | find "util"
