I didn't even think that the wallet file might be a problem.
Thanks, it works!

Nope, it's just that I encountered the same issue as minimalB a few hours earlier
and could solve it that way. I didn't investigate much further.
 

Another issue I'm having with 0.43 is that I seem to be unable to send any payments. The client freezes the moment I press Send and I have to kill the process. I am doing more testing.

Great, thanks. I will be back online a few hours from now.

Thanks, posted 0.43a stand-alone build for Windows.

did you try 0.43b? (see the main thread)

0.43b works with existing wallet, thanks. Restore also works great now.

@ThomasV: I'd like to ask if this is normal behaviour or a bug: If i restore, i get full contact list. BUT in case i have older wallet.dat file (with several missing transactions, because i have created them with another instance of electrum on another computer), transactions are synchronized, but contacts stay unchanged.

Yes, restore works fine.

What i am asking is this: Should I also automatically get all the new send addresses inside "contacts" field when synchronizing with "less-than-up-to-date" wallet.dat file (for example... my portable electrum on usb stick)?

Thanks

Hi minimalB, would you like the below font better?

Personally, I find it easy to read and better looking than Lucida Console...
