Title: Verge XVG Problem - Wallet empty
Post by: iodisciple on October 04, 2017, 09:14:34 AM
Hi,

I've re-installed my machine last weekend. I had Kali Linux, now I have Fedora.

Before I re-installed, I made backups of all my wallets, private and public keys, seeds and backups of backups even. All wallets are up and running again except for XVG. It doesn't matter how I try to open the wallet, restore with the private or public keys or via the seed pass phrase: the wallet remains empty.

I've tried the software on https://vergecurrency.com/ (the electrum and the tor software) but also the newer software on https://electrum.org/#download. The wallet seems to open, but remains empty, also after 24 hours of waiting.

When I use the (older) Electrum-xvg software, it won't even connect to the electrum-verge.xyz server, with or without SSL enabled. It just keep 'Synchronizing' and after a while says 'Not connected'. I found somewhere that the server should be electrum-verge.party but that doesn't work either, with or without SSL. When I tell the (newer) Electrum software to connect to electrum-verge.xyz or electrum-verge.party servers, I get the same results.

Beside Linux, I've also tried Mac clients and tried it on more than one location (I have a laptop). Can somebody please help me?

Kind regards,
iodisciple

Hi,

Its a miracle but after days of struggling I have managed to solve it a couple of minutes ago.

FWIW in my home folder there was a folder .electrum and .electrum-xvg and they are both being used by the Electrum XVG software. Strangely enough the executable is in the first and the data is in the second. Putting newer code in the first, I managed to start the Electrum XVG client, but in my seed once again and have access to my coins.

Hi,

I have the same issue. It doesn't connect. I'm using Electrum Tor on windows. Do you have any idea how I can get it fixed to show my XVG?
Even whitelisted it in Firewall and used the other servers the guys had suggested but still says "not connected".  :'( :'(

Thanks.

The second download mentioned is for Bitcoin only. It is not an upgrade for Electrum-XVG. The latest Verge version of Electrum is 2.4.1.
