Title: Any danger of losing coins by downloading a newer version? Post by: poiuytrewqasdfghjkl on September 07, 2015, 09:42:28 PM I've been getting this error message when I try to send coins out of Electrum: {u'message': u'Missing inputs', u'code': -25. I try different servers but no change. I have Electrum 1.9.8 and I think this error was fixed in newer versions. I intend to download; I'm probably just unreasonably paranoid because I started getting this error message right after I moved a hefty sum into the wallet, which now seems stuck there.

But, it was weird that that error message started popping up after electrum had worked flawlessly for so long. Title: Re: Any danger of losing coins by downloading a newer version?

But, it was weird that that error message started popping up after electrum had worked flawlessly for so long. That's software for you, will work flawlessly for months and years and then just start tripping up one day and then, just as you reach the ends of your patience everything starts working fine again. Glad you are sorted with the latest version. Just a note for future reference, as long as you have the seed for the wallet you are okay. You can restore your complete wallet with the seed, even if you deleted/uninstalled Electrum and deleted all your wallet files. So its vital that you store the seed in a very safe place as that is the proverbial key to everything. |
