Have you waited for the headers to be download and SPV checked?
Try switching servers or restart the client

Can you explain what you've done? You are restoring from which version?
Oh you are not restoring, can you try renaming the electrum.dat and restoring from your seed?

There is another arrow which you can click to expand the change addresses, maybe it's there.

Are you sure your balance is zero? You've hidden it. Check the change addresses as mentioned above

Now after installed new OS and Electrum again every address had its Tx OK but its balance are zeroed Are you sure your balance is zero? You've hidden it. Check the change addresses as mentioned above No, my balance is OK, the problem is that every address don't keep its balance after restoring wallet on fresh install of Electrum. |

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

You make me to finally understand! I was wrong on change addresses, all are zero except 1 that is equals to my actual total balance. It happened because before formatting my pc i send all my balance to MTGox, just for feel safer, then i withdraw again to my wallet. Is it for this that all balances have been zeroed? |

Yes, when you withdrew from Gox, you sent BTC to one address in your wallet, not all of them.

If you don't have labels that you would like to keep, you better use the seed to restore in the new 1.9 |

If you are updating or the electrum.dat is already in the /.electrum folder the client will turns it into the new wallet structure automatically
If you don't have labels that you would like to keep, you better use the seed to restore in the new 1.9 I save the electrum.dat file before formatting and now i don't know where to put it since Electrum 1.9 seems to have changed its structure: now there is a new folder named "wallets" in .electrum hidden folder. I would keep all my labels... why is better to restore with seed? can you explain how it is failing? I tried to copy my backup file to .electrum (as it was before) and in this way Electrum doesn't start. Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/electrum", line 160, in <module>
gui.main(url)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/electrum_gui/qt/__init__.py", line 92, in main
wallet = Wallet(storage)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/electrum/wallet_factory.py", line 11, in __new__
return Wallet(config)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/electrum/wallet.py", line 172, in __init__
self.fee = int(storage.get('fee_per_kb',20000))
TypeError: int() argument must be a string or a number, not 'NoneType' If i go to see to the folder i see that the electrum.dat has been deleted and a new file named default_wallet results to be created in wallets folder. Anyway Electrum doesn't start. |

if you are in trouble, restore from seed.

Anyway i did as you said but nothing is happened. |
