Title: Not connected on Bitcoin Private Electrum P!1.0.0
Post by: user173529 on January 17, 2022, 11:44:54 PM
Hi,

I tried to switch to automatic server connection on and off put still I get red indicator and nothing else. Can someone help?
Also it dosen't seem to be sending transactions anywhere, is it because im not connected or I just can't send to Kraken or Coinbase wallet?

Thank you for helping

If this "Bitcoin Private Electrum P!1.0.0" you mentioned was downloaded from another website, then most likely, it is a different build from vanilla Electrum and its servers have probably been taken offline (for one reason or another).

Otherwise, if this was the vanilla Electrum, then a network or firewall misconfiguration would've been the cause. Electrum can't selectively block transactions to specific services.

I can find this related to what you're saying: https://github.com/BTCPrivate-Legacy/electrum-btcp-legacy (based on their own announcements it looks like server connections are slow anyway).

I'm not sure if that's them or a fork of them but is there a reason you're not using the official electrum release, is there a difference or something?

From what I've understood from the readme page ( https://github.com/BTCPrivate-Legacy/electrum-btcp-legacy ) this wallet is for ZClassic coin.
It also tells:

For general support, please visit our Discord: https://discord.gg/2PRZ5q

and I advise OP go to that discord and ask for help.


I would also add that I've noticed that the latest version is 1.1.1, I would update to latest version before seeking for further help, maybe OP's problem is fixed.
(Of course, backup the wallet/seed/private key/whatever before updating).



If OP wanted to work with actual Bitcoin I strongly suggest downloading the actual Electrum from electrum.org, verify it (https://bitcoinelectrum.com/how-to-verify-your-electrum-download/) and import his wallet there.
