Title: Latest Electrum - Missing transactions Post by: midnight_worker on September 10, 2017, 11:34:11 AM Firstly I am very new to this, but reasonably computer literate ;-)
I downloaded and installed Electrum and had a few inbound transactions that appeared (as expected) and eventually a little green tick appeared by them.. Suddenly they all disappeared and left one of the earliest transactions only. I can see the inbound transactions on blockchain and they are all unspent. No new transactions have appeared although I should have a couple more inbound, these are showing on blockchain. I have my password and seed. No matter what I do I can not seem to restore or get the transactions back into the wallet.. I had assumed that once they were in Electrum they would stay there! - I imagine there is something I am not doing... Any useful or pointers welcomed - or trusted knowledge bases. Its not a lot of bitcoin, but as many have said before me, its best to learn with a few to get it right! The more of us that use it the better. Thanks in advance Title: Re: Latest Electrum - Missing transactions Post by: HCP on September 10, 2017, 11:46:40 AM Sounds like Electrum is having trouble syncing the block headers... Do you have a green dot in the bottom right corner of the Electrum window or blue arrows or a red dot?
Regardless of which one you have, when you click it, it should bring up the network settings, what is the "blocks" value? it should be 484,000+ Title: Re: Latest Electrum - Missing transactions Post by: jackg on September 10, 2017, 11:53:32 AM Firstly I am very new to this, but reasonably computer literate ;-) I downloaded and installed Electrum and had a few inbound transactions that appeared (as expected) and eventually a little green tick appeared by them..

Thanks in advance There's a problem with electrum clients connecting to electron cash servers. Go to tools>network and deselect "autoconnect to servers" and select a fully electrum server (one with the greatest block height).

Hi Thanks for the reply Ive done that now and it is re syncing I will update as and when it finishes. I just realised I was connected to the same one as you earlier. If you can't work out which one to connect to "electrum.hsmiths.com" I know definitely works (I'm connected to it).
