Title: Electrum 2.9.3.3 not connected and restored wallet not showing balance Post by: woovid on October 24, 2017, 05:20:26 PM Hello,
I have an electrum wallet at home and it works and shows transactions just fine. I also installed the electrum wallet (same seed as home) in workplace computer but it will not connect (red dot bottom right).; I have 3 questions: 1. Why is electrum showing "Not connected" and how can I make it to work? 2. Is the history showing blank page on a new wallet because it's not synced? 3. If I somehow fry a HD at my home PC without backing up the wallet, will my coins perish forever? Thank you guys.

Switch to a different server: https://bitcoinelectrum.com/how-to-switch-to-a-different-electrum-server/ 2. Yes. Also it'll show blank if you haven't done any transactions with the wallet. 3. You should write down the seed words (wallet > seed) and also create a soft copy backup of the wallet file via file menu > save copy. If you don't save either of those two things then your coins will be lost in the event of a hard drive problem.

For example: elec.luggs.co:443 - Resolve the IP address: ping elec.luggs.co (Windows) or host elec.luggs.co (Linux) - elec.luggs.co has address 95.211.185.14 - Check if your PC connected to this server: . netstat -an | findstr 95.211.185.14 (Windows) . netstat -an | grep 95.211.185.14 (Linux) - If you are connected, you should see something like: tcp 0 0 192.168.x.y:zzzz 95.211.185.14:443 ESTABLISHED Instead of ESTABLISHED, you may have SYN_SENT which mean your PC is trying to reach the server but failed probably because something is blocking your request: your firewall or any antivirus. Therefore, you need to permit this outgoing flow from your programs. I am pretty sure you are using Windows and the Defender prevents Electrum to reach your server. Regards |
