Electrum Wallet Not Synchronizing and "Unverified"

[hustlesimmons]

I bought some btc from an atm and it has been 3 days since, and my electrum wallet does not show my funds present. in the history, it says "unverified" and the wallet is not synchronizing like it usually would. usually there is a green circle when synchronized but even after 3 days nothing has changed. how can i fix this? Thank you

You should probably ask this in the Electrum section.

it is impossible to say without having additional information. here are the steps you should take:
1. make sure your transaction is confirmed.
go to a block explorer like https://blockchain.info/ and search for your transaction ID. now see if it is confirmed or not. if it is not, then your Electrum is telling you the same. read this about stuck transactions: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1802212.0 in short you can try something like https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ to get it confirmed faster.

2. if it is not confirmed make sure your Electrum is connected to internet and it is done receiving.
click on that green circle. you should see this number (https://blockchain.info/q/getblockcount) which is currently at 497,845. if you don't you have to select another server and let it sync. the issue should be fixed that way.

I had almost the same issues. If you see that your coins are on your address on blockchain info then before performing any serious moves (like saving your seed and re creating your wallet files) you can just switch the server in your electrum client. I've just picked a random one in 2.8 Electrum and the issue was resolved
