Title: Stuck In Electrum Post by: OW on August 01, 2019, 02:21:23 PM I've been using Electrum quite happily for a while and have some money in my wallet however I've just tried to send some and it seems I'm stuck. When I hit send it asks for my password as normal but then a warning message appears telling me I have to download another version from a different electrum address electrumbay. When I've checked this online I see some warnings that this may be a phishing site but I cant find a way to get past it and send my money, can anyone help please ?

Make sure that you have your 12 words seed with you so you can restore your wallet. Title: Re: Stuck In Electrum Post by: AB de Royse777 on August 01, 2019, 02:25:44 PM Also uninstall the one you already have installed.
Title: Re: Stuck In Electrum Post by: Pffrt on August 01, 2019, 02:33:49 PM Electrumbay is a phishing site. Check here- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5170272.0, they have somehow injected the pop up. Use only the official source to download the latest version.

Back up your wallet files. Uninstall your current version of Electrum. Download the latest version of Electrum (3.3.8 at time of posting) from https://electrum.org/#download. Verify your download by following the instructions here: https://bitcoinelectrum.com/how-to-verify-your-electrum-download/ Install or run your new Electrum version. Open your wallet files as you would do normally. |
