Electrum problem

[Neat]

Hello,

I have been using Electrum for like a year or something and It's working fine. Since a week It will keep switching between servers and won't connect to any. That happen when I use my old wallet, when I try to create a new one It work just fine and get connected to server.

So, what do you guys think the problem here?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

What operating system are you using?
What version of electrum is it also? Do you have a firewall enabled, can you try disabling it?
Is your WiFi censored also?

Try turning off auto connect and select a specific node to connect to.

OS: Windows 10

Electrum version: I was using 3.1.2 and I have upgraded to 3.3.2 after facing this problem but still getting it.

I have disabled firewall & windows defender but nothing changed.

Wifi isn't censored.

I have turned off auto connect and connected to specific node but and It say Synchronizing however files size on "wallet" folder won't increase.
 
Thanks.

Try going to the %appdata%/Electrum folder, deleting the blockchain_headers file, opening Electrum again and waiting a few minutes for it to synchronize.

How many addresses in your wallet? Do you frequently receive a lot of transactions to the same address like from faucets or mining pool payouts?

My Electrum wallet is showing the message
SDL Error
Error:dlopen failed:Library
"libpython3.7m.so.1.0"not found
What does it mean and what can I do about it.
I tried installing my Electrum wallet in my laptop and it is not getting connected

I have only one address which I imported from blockchain. No I don't receive any transactions from faucets or mining pools

That's somehow weird.

libpython3.7m.so is a shared object. Those are found on unix systems (e.g. linux / android / .. ), but not on windows.
The windows 'equivalent' would be a DLL file.

Can you verify that you get this error on windows on a desktop version of electrum (and not on your android mobile)?

What message do you get when its not connecting at all ? The same ? Another one?

Does electrum even start without an error message ?
If it does, i suspect something wrong with your network configuration.

See if Microsoft’s has a copy of it, otherwise you.l have to keep a downgraded version of electrum.
Maybe try doing a windows update and see if there’s a new library they can give you?

So you have Electrum wallet with only one private key which you import from blockchain.com wallet, which means you do not have seed words, is that correct? But since you use that wallet for one year you made some transaction or not?

Something is obviously wrong with that specific wallet, and since you can not fix it in any usual way, only thing which would be advisable to do now is clean installation of Electrum. But for that you need to have seed or backup of every private key from your wallet for make full recovery of your funds.

You can see private key of any address from your wallet by click on Address tab - then right click on address - you get private key - copy/paste. Then you can use option New/Restore - and create new wallet by importing one or more private key.

Yes I have only one private key which I already have it saved on a txt on my computer. I tried to uninstall electurm , removed It's whole folder which is located on appdata folder , installed it again and imported my wallet private key but still having the same issue.

I can not say why one private key can do such a problem, new created wallet is sync, but wallet with imported private key which is working for the past year, suddenly stops working/sync. Since you make clean install and try all other ways, and it is still not working I recommend you to do the following:

• Make new wallet in Electrum.
• Use standard option/p2wpkh-p2sh(you will get address start with 3).
• Go to your blockchain.com account and send BTC to new Electrum wallet address.
• You will have BTC in new wallet protected by seed as your backup.

Seeing as how it is a single address, if you goto a block explorer and lookup that address, how many transactions do you see?

Also, what country are you in? Is it possible that your country has started blocking traffic? I recall that Russian users have had issues with Electrum...

This is not a problem with traffic blocking, OP say :

I use my old wallet, when I try to create a new one It work just fine and get connected to server.

I write him possible solution and he is probably solve it in that way, under the assumption that he still have access to his blockchain wallet. Since new created wallet is sync without problem and his old wallet is not protected by seed (imported private key), this solution is best for solving this situation.
