Dear All,

long-time Electrum user here and I ran into a really strange problem. I created a new 2fa wallet and then sent bitcoins to one of its addresses from an exchange. The coins were properly received as evident from https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/address/3Co8FdRwsRRYowbHaryoUHi8vQfGAht2Sj

However Electrum is unable to sync this new wallet. Now I narrowed it down even further:

If I create a new watch only wallet with the adress in question: 3Co8FdRwsRRYowbHaryoUHi8vQfGAht2Sj then Electrum is no longer able to sync it and balance is always shown as 0.0.

Note: It is not my device / internet connection -> I can successfully sync all my other electrum wallets and I already tried different devices and connections.

Anyone encountered anything like that? Can you succesfully create a watch only wallet with my BTC address: 3Co8FdRwsRRYowbHaryoUHi8vQfGAht2Sj

Thanks a lot in advance!

Thank you very much for trying Omega!

Interesting that it works for you though. For me it doesn't.

Even if I use 185.64.116.15 as server as you did. And I tried with version 3.0.5 on Windows, 2.9.x on Tails and with the current Android version on the phone (using mobile data and thus eliminating the lan).

 

P.s.: Which version / client did you use?

One extra remark: stop running 2.9.x on Tails... If you run 2.9.x, you're running a version with a huge bug that can be exploited, even on tails...

Just so you know you were hit by this bug: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/3788

It's been fixed and the fix should be there in the next release.
