Electrum v.2.5.3 pops up "Certificate has expired" when trying to send BTC - WTF

Man like I don't need this aggravation!

Went to pay my hosting service like I've done many times before and now Electrum pops up a message saying "Certificate has expired".

I get nothing else. I have no idea if it's Electrum's certificate or the full node it's trying to connect with. I changed the connect option from "automatic" to a specific server and I get the same error.

I did a google search with keywords electrum and certificate and found very little. One link was a guy saying he felt Electrum uses SSL rather insecurely.

What is going on, and how can I access my balance so I can make some payments?

I just installed version 2.6.4 and it produces the same error.

Thanks!

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

I found the part in the code where this message is output: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/bbe7b277d2e8815977e399d2dad25e535c09b13d/lib/interface.py#L188 and https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/8c42c6d39f26b5b680be5f6b7c1c8ac4a1075609/lib/x509.py#L288

Does your PC have the correct date and time set?
