Oh, awesome. That would be a sick sick feature. ________________________________ From: Julian Tosh <Ju...@To...> To: Amir Taaki <zg...@ya...> Sent: Monday, July 30, 2012 2:59 PM Subject: Re: [Electrum-discuss] Usability testing I've been wanting to address the server selection for awhile. There should be a method to add/remove servers from an internal/default list. And the connection process should retry the next in the list if one is down. Perhaps even a priority could be assigned. I would like to attempt this upgrade. All my patches will focus on command line implementation and require someone else with gui experience to make a user interface. I just don't get that stuff.

People find the 12 words thing to be confusing (do they have to be in order? what are these for? what's a wallet?). Choosing a password is weird (is it related to the 12 words?).

It's the best way to keep things simple while packing in sick features.
