Additional Information

Dear Prof. Venkman,

this error happens when I recover my old wallet with ElectronCash. It’s probably a transaction with a non-standard script, maybe from this address: 3MaB7QVq3k4pQx3BhsvEADgzQonLSBwMdj

---

Tried to install the FlipStarter plugin (version 1.2). ElectronCash is “installed” by simply running the extracted tar ball.

OK fix is up – I’d note that if you make a watching-only wallet for 3MaB7QVq3k4pQx3BhsvEADgzQonLSBwMdj , the balance is completely wrong because the old electrum code doesn’t properly detect spends from P2SH addresses unless they are very simple multisigs being spent in a very simple way. See #895 and spesmilo#4405 .

But at least it doesn’t crash…

Good evening @cculianu,

I just received another crash report related to this issue. The crash occured on Electron Cash 4.2.6. I’m not sure which versions of Electron Cash include the fix but this is the first report from anything newer than 4.2.0 since you closed the issue.

Could you please check if this issue really is resolved? Here is the traceback that I just collected:
