Electrum-Dash with Trezor support released!

Dear Community Members,

The Dash team is pleased to announce a release of the popular Electrum software wallet designed to work with Dash (Electrum-Dash)!

Electrum is a lightweight and extremely secure wallet that has long been popular in the Bitcoin community. By using Simple Payment Verification (SPV), Electrum-Dash allows users to immediately get started with Dash by eliminating the need for downloading and syncing the entire blockchain. Electrum is also extremely secure, with the ability to enable two-factor authentication, and never requires backups, since the wallet is deterministic. That means all a user’s Dash addresses can be recovered by using a single secret phrase.

Making Dash easier to use is an important goal for the Dash team, and Electrum integration moves Dash ever closer to this goal. Not only does Electrum-Dash allow users to dispense with backups and blockchain downloads, but it also allows Dash to be integrated with the popular Trezor hardware wallet! This provides an extra layer of security and convenience.What is more important, users of Electrum-Dash can store their Dash tokens together with Bitcoin on the same Trezor device.

I would like to thank all of the people involved in development, testing and release process - you did a great job delivering this solution to Dash ecosystem!
There were a lot of people involved in the process, let me name and personally thank those, who made special efforts to close the project:

  • Rob and Mazaclub for development and technical support
  • Evan Duffield for technical assistance and guidance
  • tungfa for testing coordination and general support
  • Holger Schinzel for administration and release support
  • David for help with editorial efforts

Great to hear it's working! Downloading...

EDIT: kot, have the download links on www.dash.org been updated?

EDIT2: NVM, I see they have. :smile:

Just downloaded and installed over the previous version. Everything works great and thank you so much for the Trezor support. :)
 
Another great feature we now have with Electrum is GUI multisignature! Up until now multisig was possible, but kinda pita because you had to create/sign/broadcast raw transactions manually in Dash Core console. Electrum has the option to create and use multisig addresses in a much more friendlier way.

Is it in this version already? I am using it with trezor, so I do not see it

Yeah, when you create a new wallet you get several options. One of them is hardware wallet, that you selected, but you also get an option to create multisig.
 
When I try run aplication Electrum-Dash I have got this report.


Electrum with Bitcoin and Trezor work correct.

Awesome and thank you for this! Curious about Darksend and InstantX - are these integrated already (and I'm missing them, wouldn't be a surprise) or are they planned to be added moving forward?

I think kot, or one of the other team members, said the other day that DS would be added to the electrum wallet as a next step; so as far as I know it's in the works.

how is that possible ?
kot can you please clarify ?!?
 
Hi guys,
I believe I have said about Masternodes support (as Pablo was asking about this), not about DS.
I want to work on MS support with Mazaclub as soon as they are ready to continue (they are occupied with some internal tasks now).

Hey, sorry I'm brain dead: I meant MN's and I just used the wrong acronym :).
