Bitcoin payment gateway is not operational: Electrum Master Public Key is invali

  • I have done everything to the tee according to the directions but when I try to save the settings i get an error message of:

    Bitcoin payment gateway is not operational: Electrum Master Public Key is invalid. Must be 128 characters long, consisting of digits and letters: ‘a b c d e f’

    This is a new install of WP, woocommerce and Electrum. I have made sure there is no hidden spaces either before or after the key.

    The issue may be that I just realized that the Master Public key that Electrum produced is only 111 characters long. According to the error message it is suppose to be 128.

    Have to use the older version of electrum to get the proper MPK format. Electrum v 1.9.8 is the only electrum mpk version that works with this plugin currently. The latest version of Electrum v2 does NOT work.

    The script seems to work afterwards but there is some sort of issue that prevents status from updating correctly i think.

    I am having the same problem but I don’t know from where I can get Electrum v 1.9.8 ? I have to set this up please help.

    google the version download page..

    but i really don’t think this plugin is even worth it anymore at least with the latest version of woocommerce, its just not functioning.

    try coin simple for now.

    and look for cryptowoo which is probably going to be the closest thing to this old middleman-less script that all see in future. its in beta now..

    if u run a storefront and/or feel like ud be willing to make contributions to crypto woo, go to there site and get in touch with dev for the beta.

    im totally unaffiliated but have beta tested it and feel like its the best layman option for middleman less bitcoin payments via woocommerce.

    its looks very nice and well thought out thus far but im sure dev can use help testing, etc.
