Title: Electrum not opening? Post by: efiin on August 20, 2014, 10:24:32 PM I'm having a problem with electrum it's not opening and I'm unsure why? I only have a small amount because I was testing the wallet to see if I like it or not so its no biggie theres no errros as what I can see and the password is correct. Should I enter my seed in?

Don't bother reinstalling. That won't change anything. Find your electrum folder and delete the files named 'config' and 'blockchain_headers'. Location of the folder: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Electrum#Wallet_File See if electrum runs now. If it doesn't then you'll have to restore from seed. The way to do that is to rename the electrum folder to something else and run electrum. Select restore from seed and go from there. Also before asking any more questions tell us your electrum version and operating system. |
