I was trying to transfer some bitcoins from my electrum wallet to coinbase. However Electrum I get this ascii error whenever I attempt a transfer:

"ascii codec can't decode byte 0xb6 in position 2: ordinal not in range(128)

I have no idea on what's causing this.

  • Are you copy-pasting an address into electrum that has non-ascii characters? If so, try retyping the address.

  • The characters in the address are all ascii characters. I tried retyping the address multiple times but same error

  • Is there a non-ASCII character in your password?

  • And can you edit your question to make it clear exactly when this message appears (i.e. what exact sequence of clicks / keystrokes you did)?

It is a bug, it was reported and fixed yesterday: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/1967

I will make a new release later today, that will include that fix.
