I really need some help. I have Electrum and it has been working perfectly for several months until now. I try to click the electum icon thats on my desktop and the only thing that happens is my mouse shows the symbol that means I have to wait for the program to open. I know my 12 word passphrase but dont know anything about how to use it. In the taskmgr I see that it is on. I dont know I could use some help.

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

So yours won't open at all? Currently mine is continually synchronizing, not sure why. Switched the server it's supposed to connect to a couple times now.

Mine doesnt open at all. I cant even change servers. One time it was down and I just changed servers and it was back up immediately. I wonder if everybody has trouble with it right now.

Yeah, so far it sounds like it's on the other end of the line, not local issues.

I think they just updated the client, so download/update on your end. I just did that and it works perfectly now.

I am not tech savvy at all. Can you tell me where you downloaded the update. I have Windows xp. Also can you tell me how to run the program and put an icon on my desktop that works. Thanks.

I think I just fixed it, I downloaded FlatFly and it seems to work. Thanks for telling me I needed an update.

Heh, well I'm glad you were able to get it working without me directing you to the update, particularly since you're on Windows. I simply went to Terminal and updated it through there, but somehow I'm guessing that none of what I did would work outside of linux.  |

Hey I had the same problem on my ubuntu machine.
I downloaded the new electrum file and it worked no problem. However I lost the 0.001 BTC I had on there.
How did you update your existing electrum client?

I simply used 'sudo apt-get install electrum' in Terminal, it updated electrum and still kept the meager BTC I had in there. |

I am having the same problem, but updating did not fix it - it won't open even on version 1.5.6. I am using the .exe build of Electrum from the site. Does anybody know what to do?
