    Is there a way to copy the signed message to the clipboard fast?  It's annoying to select it.

    Not that I know of, as of the current release, but I could provide a quick/unofficial patch that automatically copies the signed message to the clipboard, if you're interested.

    That would be great!
    SealsWithClubs poker room has  over 400 players online. Buy in from .01 to 60btc.      BTCSportsMatch lets you bet sports with vig free lines!  Best kept secret in bitcoin....          LocalBitcoins.com is very user-friendly now for bank transfers.  You don't have to live close to trade when in the same currency area.           
    Electrum client is awesome. Try it. And please stop sending bitcoins to sites run by security newbies, or don't complain when you lose everything.

    Here you go! This is a simple mod of the wallet.py file that automatically copies signatures to the clipboard.

    To use it, make sure you are running Windows build 1.01e of Electrum,

     go to this directory: %AppData%\Electrum_SysFiles\1.01-e\C_\ElectrumPY\lib
     and replace the original wallet.py file in there with the one below:

    Download
    Size: 41686 bytes
    SHA1: d18a4d273105a80a2e655ddabc2513dd004053ec

    (for your info, the only source code changes are lines 477-478 and importing the Qt library - feel free to manually review the file if you're familiar with Python)

    I'm unable to connect using any of the 3 servers available, each time it tries for awhile then shows "Not connected". 
    I'm using electrum 1.01-e (flatfly compact build) and this is the first time I've tried loading the program in about 2 weeks.

    There aren't many settings I can change beyond switching servers so I'm kinda at a loss as to what to try next Undecided

    Open your electrum.dat file in notepad (back it up first), and look for the server name
    and port number currently in there (not too far from the top of the file). If you see port 50000, change it to 50001 and save. Now try to run Electrum again.
    (This is a known occasional issue that will be fixed in the next release)

    If that doesn't work, remove the electrum.dat file and recover your wallet from the seed.

    The default server list (in interface.py) has an error for the port number for electrum.bytesized-hosting.com:

    Code:
    DEFAULT_SERVERS = [ 'ecdsa.org:50001:t',
                         'electrum.novit.ro:50001:t',
                        'uncle-enzo.info:50001:t',
                        'electrum.bytesized-hosting.com:50000:t']  # list of default servers

    I discussed it with Tachikoma in August, and he already fixed it in the master branch already. But it hasn't made it into an "official" release yet.

    well, it's a pity there hasn't been any release since then.
    I will take over for the next release (1.1).
    it should be ready in less than a week.

    Compact build of Electrum 1.1 for Windows is ready. I've also included the BkkCoins patch for red debits (see screenshot below) - I haven't published it yet as I'm on the go and probably won't be able to update my website by FTP until next week, but donators can get it early - just PM me.



    By the way, I'll take this opportunity to thank my most generous donators:

    - minimalB
    - bitcats
    - genjix
    - vuce
    - freewil

    Your support is greatly appreciated and I couldn't continue to provide quality builds without it!

    Windows compact build for Version 1.2 is now available! Early testing hasn't revealed any major issues.

    Note that this is the first build that is SPV-enabled - SPV will be automatically and transparently used when connecting to SPV-compliant servers (this can be verified through the console.)

    Link: More info on the SPV protocol

    v1.2 is not working for me on XP sp3.

    It opens up and shows transactions, but after few clicks on tabs I get (not responding) string in titlebar and game over.

    If it helps: icons are not displayed (clock (for 1-6 confirmations) and check-mark icon) and there is no red black color for positive and negative transactions.

    Also, python.exe process goes to 90-100%.

    Hmmm... This actually looks somewhat similar to the performance issue I also encountered (once) with the block header download...

    When you get the "(not responding)" message in the title bar, try to let it run anyway and it should
    resolve itself within 10 minutes or so.  You can also launch Electrum from the console to get more detailed progress messages.

    In the meantime, I have reverted my download page to the previous (1.1) version until I can further investigate. Thanks for reporting this issue.

    [EDIT] Seems that the SPV implementation in 1.2 must be re-worked anyway, due to a bug that has just been discovered. (see https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/50936.msg1312652#msg1312652)

    A fresh, SPV-enabled build of Electrum 1.3 is ready!
    As usual, download links and SHA1 hash are available at my download page.


    Important:

    - Please note that only 2 servers support SPV currently:
       bysh.me and ecdsa.org. The other 6 servers should upgrade shortly.

    - Allow a few (up to 10) minutes for initial download of blockchain headers.
      Confirmation icons will not show up until this has completed.

    - I didn't include the header file inside my package because it would have prevented
      it from being scanned by VirusTotal (which has a 20MB upper limit)... I'll see if I can
      find another way to add it.

    VirusTotal.com recently bumped up their max file size from 20MB to 32MB so you might be able to squeeze it in.

    Hi Jim,

    Thanks for the heads up! Smiley
    Will try it out for my next build.

    thanks for the Windows build.

    Note that you can include an incomplete headers file; it will still save some download time.
    The length of the file should be a multiple of 80

    Windows build for version 1.4 is available!

    No visible changes, but there's an important fix to the
    wallet recovery procedure when connecting to upgraded servers.

    You can upgrade your client without losing any of your existing settings.
