Hi, I've downloaded Electrum 3.0.3 and put in the applications folder. When I try to open it there's a box saying "please wait" for less than a second, then the application crashes. It's super annoying. Anyone know what this is about?

I've seen other users say that after downloading Electrum you need to move it to a new folder after it has been downloaded before it will run? I've tried running it on my MacOSX 10.12 Sierra Virtual Machine, and it seems to run fine... although I do have to "ctrl-click" and then select open to get around the MacOSX antimalware thing.

I am holding back on downloading electrum version 3 as I understood it is crashing after downloading on Windows 7 ( I am using 2.8.3).
Anyone know if this issue has been solved on 3.0.3 yet? Or should I wait for 3.1 to come out?

Download the portable version of 3.0.3 and see if it runs... if it runs, the proper windows installer and/or the standalone will run as well... I just recommend testing with the portable version, as it won't touch your current wallets etc... it creates an "electrum_data" directory in the same folder where you run the portable .exe from... so your current files will not be at risk.

You may want to try installing the "fixes" for Electrum to get it to work in Windows 7... I believe it was an issue with redistributables (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads)...
