Electrum Help

Why this error message would need to stay like that precisely? I don't understand. If an error message is displayed it must be understandable by the users, no? Otherwise it is useless.

Let's try this PR: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/pull/7902 (Update "No Connection" error to be user-friendly)

The "BestEffortRequestFailed" can't be changed without changing every instance of it but the actual error message is simple.
So from "BestEffortRequestFailed('no interface to do request on... gave up.')",
The PR edited it to "BestEffortRequestFailed('cannot establish a connection... gave up.')"

[Husna QA]

He's using an outdated version of electrum. He won't be able to connect to any server with it. He should upgrade to the latest version.

I guess you probably didn't notice, the OP's question was posted back in 2019. I'm sure he's already upgraded to a newer version of Electrum wallet by now, if he is still using it.

Possibly what Abdussamad responded to was the following Saint-loup post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5129190.msg60586747#msg60586747, where the notification in his case is the same as in the OP.

Moreover I don't think most of people willingly try to broadcast transactions without working connections.   

But it can happen when the internet connection or the server is suddenly disconnected without the user realizing it when they are going to broadcast the transaction.

That's a very good news for the users, thank you very much nc50lc. I hope things will work nicely and there won't be bugs because of this update lol. Anyway I will be happy to see a clear and understandable message next time I will lose my connection and (average) Joe too I guess
