[REQUESTS] Minimal Electrum builds for Windows

[vuce]

I changed the server and now it won't connect anymore...

All servers are up, I just checked.
What version of the client are you using?
Latest stable version is 0.58, try to update perhaps?

the latest 0.58-compact. I created the wallet, chose the ecdsa server. Later I tried changing it (by clicking on the green circle and changing to a different one), and from then it doesn't want to connect even if I change it back to ecdsa. If I rewrite the wallet with the old one it works again. Tried the same thing with an older version and it works (or doesn't work) in the same way.

Strange... Never had this kind of issue... I guess ThomasV should be able to help

Can you reproduce it or is it only on my end?

No I can't reproduce it... Connectivity is fine here. However I'm not able to do more testing as I'm out of BTC  at the moment

How many do you need? Is the address in your sig ok?

btcback.com is down (bitcoind crashed)
electrum.bitcoins.sk is broken (wrong number of blocks)

that being said, I cannot reproduce vuce's problem

Yes the address in my sig is OK.
1 or 2 would be nice... Let me know if it is a donation or you need them back

Many thanks for that!
I need to wait for a confirmation before I can play around and do some testing with the wallet...

Are you still not able to connect? Ecdsa.org works fine for me...

Also, is there anything particular about the wallet that has changed recently (such as frozen, prioritized, or newly imported addresses)?

I reverted to the older (working) wallet. Seems like every time server is changed wallet changes in some way, and this doesn't quite comply. It's working ok with the older one.

Also, is there anything particular about the wallet that has changed recently (such as frozen, prioritized, or newly imported addresses)?

Oh yes, that might be relevant but I totally forgot. I had one prioritized and one frozen address (I was just playing around with that). I also had expert mode checked and display zeroes set to 2. I will try to remove that and test again.

edit: no joy, still the same. this is what I see. After a restart I see nothing as it wouldn't connect at all. I tried all three servers I have available (ecdsa.org, electrum.bitcoins.sk, electrum.novit.ro), none of them would work.

OK, could you try in console mode? Perhaps that will give us some additional clues / error messages...
To enter console mode, just start Electrum while holding down the SHIFT key.
Then try a simple online command, such as 'electrum balance' (without the quotes)
Any error messages when you do that?

13-Jun-12  0:09:50.92> electrum balance
Connected to btcback.com:50001
0

Balance shouldn't be 0 though... There are no error messages.

edit: ok, ecdsa server works fine in console mode, even when it doesn't in gui.

btcback.com has crashed as ThomasV reported a few posts above.
Can you try to connect to ecdsa.org instead?

You will need to select it first through the GUI connection dialog first.

yup, tried that, this works perfectly in console mode, but it still won't connect in gui mode.

Ok, now we're making some progress. Looks like a problem with the gui, specifically. Could you try to just type 'electrum' at the console? This will launch the GUI window, while still having the console open. I am mostly interested in any errors and tracebacks you might get in the console then.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "electrum", line 139, in <module>
    import electrum.gui_qt as gui

Everything works fine now! Please take a look at the colors: http://i48.tinypic.com/73ibee.jpg
As you see, in Vista it is a bit difficult to clearly distinguish this colors. Would it be possible to choose a kind of orange/red background for the frozen addresses?

Another question: Thomas wrote some days ago, that the consolas font could be added as an option. Is this realizable?

I send you some bacon

ImportError: No module named electrum.gui_qt

OK, this error can be ignored.

Please try the following: rename your wallet file to electrum.baddat (or anything else),
restart the application and select the option to restore the wallet (have your seed ready).
It will then proceed to regenerate all of your addresses (except the imported ones) and
hopefully, you will be able to connect fine afterwards.

(I remember having a similar issue a few months ago and that's how I fixed it.)

I will check for the colors and fonts and let you know.

It seems that they were down, but now it works again, except for ecdsa.org
