I've been using electrum for for over a year now without any issues and all of a sudden when I start the client it says "Not connect". I waited a while and it still says not connected. I tried updating, no luck. Restarted many times, disabled firewall, still not working. Tried switching from connect automatically to a specific server, not working. How do I fix this, or how do I use my electrum wallet with a different bitcoin client?
It sounds weird since you are using the latest stable version and it's still not working ... anyway to use your Electrum wallet with a different bitcoin client all you have to do is export the private keys (they Either start with
5 ,
L or
K ) then you can simply import them to wallets like Bitcoin Core or Blockchain.info . (It's not recommended to keep your funds on online wallet like Blockchain.info for long time even if most people do it ) .
