Please help. electrum 254, on tails tried auto and non, plus many servers. Thanks. I have some troubles understanding you... Is it correct: - you're running electrum 2.5.4 - you tried to pay somebody, but cannot see the transaction in the history - electrum created a file? when trying to pay somebody? My questions: - it seems you're running linux ((#!/usr/bin/env), which flavour, how did you install electrum? - can we get the transaction id, or at least the address from which you tried to send coins?

I`m using tails, with electrum 254. there is no tx id, because my signed tx cant be broadcast due to no connection (red circle) or endless syncronize of network. I think the file is yesterdays failed tx, but file is empty. (outside persistance) If i could send the tx, it would be output from : 13qqk4VnZR8G6VUNu3kqggU5BHe2uGUabe On network page it says: getting headers from 1 node. electrum came with tails 211 Title: Re: Cant conect to any server, endless syncro.

Since the second problem is easyer to fix, let's try this one first: Have you tried changing your server? Double click on the red circle, disable "select server automatically", pick a random server from the list... If it doesn't work, pick a different one. If you tried 3-4 servers, and none of them work, it's probably your network setup. Can you open websites? ping the electrum nodes? telnet to the electrum nodes on the ports shown in the network config of electrum? Title: Re: Cant conect to any server, endless syncro. And now.... Post by: zojav on March 30, 2016, 09:11:43 AM I have tried 10 random servers in past 2 days. I can access sites but getting some "unable to connects", even changing pages here. 1 in 10 aprox. My connection can be slow at times. but with the length of time, 2 days, trying to connect, should have found a window?
Sory never pinged or telneted, can learn if needed. Title: Re: Cant conect to any server, endless syncro. And now....

My connection can be slow at times. but with the length of time, 2 days, trying to connect, should have found a window? Sory never pinged or telneted, can learn if needed. It's pretty simple, most linux distros have telnet out-of-the-box. I opened electrum, copy'd the IP and port from the first server in my server list, and did following commands on my debian server: Code: telnet 46.166.162.163 50002 The server's response was Code: Trying 46.166.162.163... If you can connect to the ip/port, your electrum client should be able to connect to... If not, the problem is laying in your OS's network setup, or in your home/office network setup. I'd suggest trying to connect an electrum client from your normal desktop. Make sure it's on the same network as your tails installation. If the desktop can connect properly: it's your linux distro setup. If you desktop cannot connect normally, it's probably a firewall or router that is blocking your connection...

Tails is a security distro... Are you using Tor??? If so, read this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=113116.0 and report back if it fixed your problem :) Title: Re: Cant conect to any server, endless syncro. And now.... Post by: zojav on March 30, 2016, 10:30:21 AM Great thread, trying onion adresses but i think prob is more basic, and in my set up. Got to hit the sack. Might have more questions tomarrow. thanks a lot!
Title: Re: Cant conect to any server, endless syncro. And now.... Post by: zojav on March 31, 2016, 12:51:23 PM Found my problem, when using tails, entire system is on a USB. In this case, a 16 Gig USB that became full. Was not an electrum prob. sory to waste your time mocacinno. Not a total waste for me though, my tx`s are now sent via tor network, thanks.
Should i delete this thread? Title: Re: Cant conect to any server, endless syncro. And now....

No problem, glad you solved this one :) With regards to the thread: you could leave it open, that way somebody experiencing the same problem in the future might benefit from this. |
