Electrum won't send bitcoin: ascii error 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.
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.
