Electrum 2.7.+ Freezes when trying to send payments

[secondw123]

Hi,

Tried upgrading to each and every version from 2.7.0 to 2.7.9 when entering any amount for sending, Electrum freezes and eventually crashes (and can't be restarted in some cases, being closed upon launch):

Running win 8.1 and i find myself having to roll back to 2.6.4 over and over again.


Any idea why this happens or how to fix this?

No one encountered such thing...?

try updating to 2.7.11 which is the latest version. whatever bug you are encountering may have been fixed already.

Thanks but not only it didn't help and the issue happened again - i had to removed all files and restore 2.6.4 wallet from scratch since it somehow could not restart anymore after the wallet was loaded in 2.7.11.

I'm totally lost about this problem, all versions worked like a charm until 2.7.X

you say that you restored from scratch then I'm assuming you have the seed written down? In that case upgrade to 2.7.11 again and this time restore your wallet from seed using 2.7.11. hopefully that'll fix the problem.

you should know that the wallet file format changed in 2.7.x so that's why you can't use a 2.7.x wallet file in previous versions. you can still restore from seed in all versions though.

if restoring from seed in 2.7.11 still doesn't fix your problem than I suggest creating an issue on github:

Yes i have the seed of course. And i forgot to mention i already did that... upgraded to 2.7.11 and restored from seed , just to have this same issue again.


Thanks for the help , will try to open an issue on GitHub And hope someone figures this out...
