Description Maks Verver 2012-06-07 10:14:58 UTC

Electrum is a lightweight Bitcoin client, implemented in Python, with a GTK or Qt4 GUI.

Since this client only connects to a server, not to other peers, I suggest net-misc instead of net-p2p (where the other Bitcoin daemons/clients live).

It requires two additional Python libraries which implement AES and ECDSA in pure Python.  I will attach these here as well.

Your dev-python/ecdsa needs a s/P/PN/ in the source URI.

I've imported this into the bitcoin overlay.

It seems to basically work, but segfaulted when I closed it.

Version 0.61 was released and the ebuild needs to change:
HOMEPAGE="http://electrum-desktop.com/"

Comment 6 Dennis Schridde 2012-09-03 14:32:56 UTC

Could you please add an ebuild for electrum-server (https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum-server)?

Good point.  I've updated the ebuild to version 1.0 in sunrise (but I'll attach it here as well, for completeness sake).

Could you update the bitcoin overlay if you get a chance as well?
