Hi,

I have a question regarding transition to HD wallets in Electrum
What user experience is going to look like? Say in 3 years from now your user is downloading Electrum client and tries to enter Electrum 1.9 seed in it.

What would happen?

When is the planed cut-off date? I.e. you would probably have "New" and "Old" versions of Electrum published on your website for a while along with instructions for non tech savvy. How long is that "while" going to be?


Another question: I was checking out carbonwallet.com, that is a BUGGY web version of electrum wallet. I have fixed a bug there which allowed users to enter arbitrary words, and working on another bug which seems to be related to the generation of change addresses (they do not show up in carbon).

Is there anything special with how you are generating change addresses in 1.9? Are they any different from normal addresses? Where I can read about this?

P.S. I'm not a developer of carbonwallet and discourage anyone from using it. I have found 2 major bugs in the first day of using it. I'm just fixing them for fun and self education.

Aha!
That sounds much better!
Thanks a lot!

So I have a KEY -> ADDRESS pair.
I want to monitor my balance on a server.

Requirements:
 can run full node
 don't use third party services like blockchain.info
 don't import KEY on the server for obvious security reasons.
 don't use deterministic wallet

Armory does offer watch only wallets, but only for it's own type of determenistic wallets.
My own KEY -> ADDRESS is not an armory deterministic wallet. It is just a regular pair.

Any way to monitor my balance on a server?
That should be so damn simple! I mean Armory can do 99.99% of that task.
How can I achieve it?

Newbie here, can't post to relevant topic.
