Electrum sync timer?

[RealBitcoin]

What is the time interval between electrum sync?

Is there any way to configure it/ change it?


I received a transaction, and it still showed it  unfonfirmed, while it had 3 confirms already. I think the optimal sync time should be 2-3 minutes not more, because its very slow.

I've never had this issue before. the transactions updates very quickly. are you perhaps using a proxy?

Electrum uses information from a server and should identify if a transaction is confirmed moments after the transaction gets included in a block. A solution you can try is to change the server by clicking the dot at the bottom right corner. You can also try using wallet.clear_history() in the console.

No it's direct, is there any way to change the sync timer to be faster?

electrum syncs with the servers the moment it detects a new block from the server (and when you open electrum). so it should be instant and there's no way to change that.
issues with your internet connection and/or with the reachable servers are the only things that can cause slow sync.

ranochigo already provided the possible solutions. but try turning auto-connect on if you haven't tried that before.

When my electrum is behind I just restart it, that forces a sync.
