Title: Wallet always in "synchronizing mode"
Post by: idegcb on October 11, 2017, 08:47:59 PM
Hi
After made some payments my electrum wallet is always in synchro mode. I have restored it more times with my seeds, changed network in manually and automatically but can't connect while I haven't this issue with my other electrum wallets. Can somebody help me?

First Check if you have the latest version which is 2.9.3 if not dowload the latest version here https://electrum.org/#download
If the above didn't work, try turning off your firewall and antivirus but its much better to just check them if they are blocking electrum from connecting to the internet
Or your blockchain_headers file could be corrupted so try deleting it and launching electrum again as it works for me in the past.

If the problem persists kindy update us here.

Where I find blockchain_headers?

If you are windows it's located in your AppData folder.
Just press win button and type %appdata% ( including the percentual signs) into search and that folder should open.

for mac or linux i have no idea  :)

Hello,

had the same issue last month with an old version of Electrum. Reinstalled a fresh and latest release and everything was okay.
