Title: exchange rate is no longer displayed Post by: RedDevil3982 on November 23, 2020, 12:01:20 PM Since the update, the exchange rate is no longer displayed, no matter which server I use. What am I doing wrong? The server is connected but the exchange rate is no longer displayed after the update.

Basically, if Electrum is running when you try to install the update, the installer will complain that it can't remove files in use etc. However, if you close Electrum, then click "retry" on the installer, some things won't be cleaned up properly which can lead to weird issues like the exchange rate not showing properly. Devs are aware of it as per the github issue linked above... and as ranochigo has noted, the simple fix is to simply shutdown Electrum, and then run the 4.0.5 installer again.

That hopefully will solve OP's problem, because I know the new version is quite capable to displaying exchange rates. This wasn't an issue for me on the last update install, but thanks for the explanation--I'd probably run into an issue like this in the future and be totally baffled.So many updates....Electrum is starting to look different in small increments as time goes on (but it's still my favorite software wallet by far). |
