Electrum is a very nice wallet.\n\n\nOn 03/01/2015 04:23 PM, Thomas Voegtlin wrote:\n\u003e Dear Bitcoin devs,\n\u003e \n\u003e I just tagged version 2.0 of Electrum: \n\u003e https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/tree/2.0\n\u003e \n\u003e The electrum.org website will be updated later today. The release \n\u003e notes are a bit dense, due to the large amount of changes and new \n\u003e features in this release. In the coming weeks we will be adding\n\u003e more detailed documentation to the wiki and to the website.\n\u003e \n\u003e There has been a very long hiatus in Electrum releases, because it \n\u003e took me a lot of time to decide about the new seed derivation\n\u003e method and wallet structure. Now that this part is done, I hope\n\u003e that we will resume to a faster release pace.\n\u003e \n\u003e I would like to thank all the people who contributed to this\n\u003e release, developers, beta testers, but also people from this list\n\u003e who provided useful feedback.\n\u003e \n\u003e Cheers,\n\u003e \n\u003e Thomas\n\u003e \n\u003e _____________________________\n\u003e \n\u003e RELEASE-NOTES\n\u003e \n\u003e # Release 2.0\n\u003e \n\u003e * Before you upgrade, make sure you have saved your wallet seed on \n\u003e paper.\n\u003e \n\u003e * Documentation is now hosted on a wiki: http://electrum.orain.org\n\u003e \n\u003e * New seed derivation method (not compatible with BIP39). The seed \n\u003e phrase includes a version number, that refers to the wallet \n\u003e structure. The version number also serves as a checksum, and it \n\u003e will prevent the import of seeds from incompatible wallets. Old \n\u003e Electrum seeds are still supported.\n\u003e \n\u003e * New address derivation (BIP32). Standard wallets are single\n\u003e account and use a gap limit of 20.\n\u003e \n\u003e * Support for Multisig wallets using parallel BIP32 derivations\n\u003e and P2SH addresses (\"2 of 2\", \"2 of 3\").\n\u003e \n\u003e * Compact serialization format for unsigned or partially signed \n\u003e transactions, that includes the BIP32 master public key and \n\u003e derivation needed to sign inputs. Serialized transactions can be \n\u003e sent to cosigners or to cold storage using QR codes (using Andreas \n\u003e Schildbach's base 43 idea).\n\u003e \n\u003e * Support for BIP70 payment requests: - Verification of the chain\n\u003e of signatures uses tlslite. - In the GUI, payment requests are\n\u003e shown in the 'Invoices' tab.\n\u003e \n\u003e * Support for hardware wallets: Trezor (Satoshilabs) and Btchip\n\u003e (Ledger).\n\u003e \n\u003e * Two-factor authentication service by TrustedCoin. This service\n\u003e uses \"2 of 3\" multisig wallets and Google Authenticator. Note that \n\u003e wallets protected by this service can be deterministically\n\u003e restored from seed, without Trustedcoin's server.\n\u003e \n\u003e * Cosigner Pool plugin: encrypted communication channel for\n\u003e multisig wallets, to send and receive partially signed\n\u003e transactions.\n\u003e \n\u003e * Audio Modem plugin: send and receive transactions by sound.\n\u003e \n\u003e * OpenAlias plugin: send bitcoins to aliases verified using\n\u003e DNSSEC.\n\u003e \n\u003e * New 'Receive' tab in the GUI: - create and manage payment\n\u003e requests, with QR Codes - the former 'Receive' tab was renamed to\n\u003e 'Addresses' - the former Point of Sale plugin is replaced by a\n\u003e resizeable window that pops up if you click on the QR code\n\u003e \n\u003e * The 'Send' tab in the Qt GUI supports transactions with multiple \n\u003e outputs, and raw hexadecimal scripts.\n\u003e \n\u003e * The GUI can connect to the Electrum daemon: \"electrum -d\" will \n\u003e start the daemon if it is not already running, and the GUI will \n\u003e connect to it. The daemon can serve several clients. It times out \n\u003e if no client uses if for more than 5 minutes.\n\u003e \n\u003e * The install wizard can be used to import addresses or private \n\u003e keys. A watching-only wallet is created by entering a list of \n\u003e addresses in the wizard dialog.\n\u003e \n\u003e * New file format: Wallets files are saved as JSON. Note that new \n\u003e wallet files cannot be read by older versions of Electrum. Old \n\u003e wallet files will be converted to the new format; this operation \n\u003e may take some time, because public keys will be derived for each \n\u003e address of your wallet.\n\u003e \n\u003e * The client accepts servers with a CA-signed SSL certificate.\n\u003e \n\u003e * ECIES encrypt/decrypt methods, availabe in the GUI and using the\n\u003e command line: encrypt \u003cpubkey\u003e \u003cmessage\u003e decrypt \u003cpubkey\u003e\n\u003e \u003cmessage\u003e\n\u003e \n\u003e * The Android GUI has received various updates and it is much more \n\u003e stable. Another script was added to Android, called Authenticator, \n\u003e that works completely offline: it reads an unsigned transaction \n\u003e shown as QR code, signs it and shows the result as a QR code.\n\u003e \n\u003e ------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\u003e\n\u003e \nDive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website,\nsponsored\n\u003e by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your\n\u003e hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly\n\u003e thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials\n\u003e and more.
