[Electrum-discuss] Electrum direction

[Amir T. <zg...@ya...>]

Hi,

Stability or development? How should I focus Electrum in the next few months?

1. Stability of servers.


00:48 < unclemantis> is there something going on with the servers?
00:48 < unclemantis> my unconfirmed number just went up to 25 on things that have been confirmed for DAYS
00:50 < unclemantis> guys i can't connect to any of the servers now
00:51 < unclemantis> i need a client that is more stable than this. I may just have to export my private keys and go elsewhere until this

Right now, the servers are often slow, down a lot and not working. When I start Electrum, I have to switch between different servers a lot.

This would mean development effort with a libbitcoin backend. Below this point there is a lot of detail concerned with scalability and security.

2. Better packages and a smoother user experience getting started with Electrum. Right now it doesn't work on Macs. And the Android client would need development.

3. New features like accounts and so on. Tightening up the UI and making Electrum more usable.

One of those above 3 points will take priority over the others, although I hope to cover all of them within the long term. In particular, I'm thinking a lot about Electrum architecture.
