Electrum won't even try to connect #5352

ZoZoRocks commented 5 years ago

Tried to access bitcoin wallet to send bitcoin. It would be stuck on sync, and it almost came close to working once. Now realize it was probably because a lot of the servers were down. However, I restarted/updated my computer (Windows 10) and updated to the newest Electrum. Now, it won't even try connecting/syncing (red dot in lower right corner). Downgrading/reinstalling to previous Electrum versions doesn't do anything. Neither does creating a new wallet. It also won't work on Tails, even with Tor proxy on, giving the exact same issue. When I try to send anyways, I get an error pop up with Traceback File " /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/electrum.util.py", line 794....Type Error: unorderable types: NoneType() > int(). Disabled Windows firewall with no help. Ended up accessing/sending bitcoins on my wallet on another computer on the same Wi Fi network, but really need this to work on my computer. Any ideas?

So are you trying on Windows 10 with Electrum 3.3.5? Click the orb in the bottom right. What does it say for Status?

It also won't work on Tails, even with Tor proxy on, giving the exact same issue. When I try to send anyways, I get an error pop up with Traceback File " /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/electrum.util.py", line 794....Type Error: unorderable types: NoneType() > int().

That's a different issue; it only affects old Electrum versions.

Yep, trying on Windows 10 with Electrum 3.3.5. And for Status, it just says Not Connected. And in that case, I will updated the Electrum version I have in Tails and see if that works better later, though that one also isn't connecting/red orb/not connected, so it might be some issue with my computer connecting to the network properly.

Please try with a Tor proxy on Windows. Download and run the Tor Browser. While Tor Browser is running, click orb in Electrum, go to Proxy tab, and check Use Tor proxy at port ...

@ZoZoRocks try this server: fortress.qtornado.com:443

if it works, also try fortress.qtornado.com:50002 (same server reachable on both ports)

If only 443 works, then high outgoing ports are blocked by your firewall/router/ISP.
