Version 2.4.1 Not Connecting

[WIGGY17]

I have a CoinBase account , I have bought XVG on Coinbase via BTC and sent it across to my Electrum XVG Wallet. I've logged into my Wallet and all it says is "NOT CONNECTED" in the bottom left hand corner and there is a big Red button on the bottom right hand corner obviously as a status to say its not on .

Can anyone help with this or is it a problem that we are all having ???

[waterboy94]

I have the same issue and i also transferred my money but nothing shows because its not connected. i looked up other threads and they mentioned that I can add new servers that work but theres no option to add servers and I cannot pen preferences!

[thangchung]

I have had the same issue. I had done the money transfer to the local wallet but just noticed that there was not connected to the server. Any ideas to make it work? Could any developer in this project tell me that? @waterboy94 Which servers UIRs that you mentioned? I think we can add it to electrum-xvg.conf

[waterboy94]

This was posted on reddit recently: 83.169.38.218 port 50002 and this as well "Just tested, electrum-xvg.party port 50002 is working for me right now as is the one i stated before. I am using windows 10 and the electrum wallet."

The entire thread is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/vergecurrency/comments/7jxw0p/xvg_wallet_not_connecting/

If you can make use of the info in the thread and make it work please provide me with instructions sicne Im a newbie lol

[thangchung]

I think I found out the problem after struggled a lot of time with it. They updated the server URLs at https://github.com/vergecurrency/electrum-xvg-tor/blob/master/lib/network.py#L23

Now step by step to make it working as following

• Run Tor browser (because I used Tor)
• In the network setting, put t4c6rftkx673mlqv.onion into the server, the port is 50001
• Don't check Use SSL
• Proxy SOCK5 because of Tor browser, localhost, and 9150 for the port.
• Don't know if it is correct or not, but you need to move your mouse to the server textbox again and press Enter key. It's working for me.

Hope this help.

[WIGGY17]

Brilliant I will check this when back home. Thanks for helping.

Thanks for the detailed explaination @thangchung. The issue I'm facing is that when I paste the server name you suggested it does not get added to the list of servers, instead the box closes and thats it. when I reopen it nothing is changed, the list of servers is not updated even though the new server is still in the server text box. I uploaded a screenshot to help show you what I mean. Thanks in advance!

[WIGGY17]

Mines just like @waterboy94 and same issue, @thangchung have you got settings different via your control panel . Im on windows 10 👎

[WIGGY17]

Also @waterboy94 it should be SOCKS5 in the Proxy:

[waterboy94]

Thanks for letting me know but sadly its still not working /: I tried on a different PC and same issue. Is it Windows 10 related?

[WIGGY17]

I think it could be. Can we open a new wallet and transfer the transaction address to the new wallet if it hasn’t landed ? We will get there soon. All the best.

windows 10 not connecting I tried all network settings above and removed firewall

@WIGGY17 @waterboy94 To adding this address to the list below, just paste it in the textbox and then press ENTER key on your keyboard, it should store in the storage for a next time usage.

This is my config in <your path>\<your username>\AppData\Roaming\Electrum-XVG-tor\config

{
    "auto_connect": false, 
    "console-history": [
        "info", 
        "ping"
    ], 
    "dark_icon": false, 
    "gui_last_wallet": "<path>/Electrum-XVG-tor/wallets/default_wallet", 
    "gui_show_history": false, 
    "gui_show_receiving": false, 
    "is_maximized": true, 
    "lite_mode": false, 
    "proxy": "socks5:localhost:9150", 
    "server": "t4c6rftkx673mlqv.onion:50001:t", 
    "winpos-qt": [
        100, 
        100, 
        840, 
        456
    ]
}

If you want the address automatically showing in the list, just simply open the recent_servers file in current folder and add it. My list is following

[
    "t4c6rftkx673mlqv.onion:50001:t", 
    "gozwhpes24mi2bk7.onion:50002:s", 
    "qz6pnufyqjexudq6.onion:50001:t"
]

The price of XVG is down dramatically. Sadly Christmas and New Year for all of us :(

Thangchung got it right! I was tearing the place apart this wallet is so badly designed! Once I used the method Thangchung posted it connected right up to the network! Now I just have to get the data from the last week that I couldn't connect but at least it's coming in now! Thanks!

[SICKFREDO]

Just tried the above settings and I am still unable to connect.

[Scottocaster]

Did you do EXACTLY as he stated AND you opened a TOR browser window beforehand? The socks5 setting and everything he has stated has to be exact. I messed it up the first time I tried too.

[SICKFREDO]

@Scottocaster Indeed i took screenshots of each step see below;

[SICKFREDO]

I also just tried his config settings with the same results

[WIGGY17]

Hi All

Is everyone's Wallet online on Chrome or do they have their Wallet like me via a zip folder in the Desktop :(
@thangchung Im glad its down at the min as at this rate i'm not getting this XVG back .

[endrec]

I had the same issue, and figured out the cause. By default tor runs the SOCKS5 proxy on port 9050, and the wallet tries to connect to port 9150. So you have to change the port in the proxy settings.

[nguyenquocdat30]

Hello everybody . sorry because english my bad . don't check Use SSL . proxy SOCKS5 : localhost 9150 you can use default server , DEFAULT_SERVERS = { 'electrum-verge.xyz':{'t':'50001', 's':'50002'}, 'electrum-xvg.stream':{'t':'50001', 's':'50002'}, 'electrum-xvg.party':{'t':'50001', 's':'50002'}, 'e1.verge-electrum.com':{'t':'50001', 's':'50002'}, 'e2.verge-electrum.com':{'t':'50001', 's':'50002'}, 'e3.verge-electrum.com':{'t':'50001', 's':'50002'} } update here : https://github.com/vergecurrency/electrum-xvg/blob/master/lib/network.py

[waterboy94]

So I figured it out @WIGGY17. First of all download an internet browser called Tor. Once you download it, launch the program and keep the browser open. Then go to the config folder and do the solution @thangchung put up where you have to open the config folder suing notepad. The config folder is found here according to @thangchung

\\AppData\Roaming\Electrum-XVG-tor\config After you open config using notepad, copy paste everything into a new text document and keep it as a back up then paste all the stuff @thangchung wrote in his solution: { "auto_connect": false, "console-history": [ "info", "ping" ], "dark_icon": false, "gui_last_wallet": "/Electrum-XVG-tor/wallets/default_wallet", "gui_show_history": false, "gui_show_receiving": false, "is_maximized": true, "lite_mode": false, "proxy": "socks5:localhost:9150", "server": "t4c6rftkx673mlqv.onion:50001:t", "winpos-qt": [ 100, 100, 840, 456 ] } Then I left the wallet for a bit and when I was back, BOOM, it was connected :D Kudos to @thangchung

[WIGGY17]

Brilliant, I have tried this and it’s worked. 👍🏻

All coins safe and making a profit . Thanks again.

[nguyenquocdat30]

Ohh . sorry . it private .

Click here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0Iwtyajih8 You can use server instead : DEFAULT_SERVERS = { 'electrum-verge.xyz':{'t':'50001', 's':'50002'}, 'electrum-xvg.stream':{'t':'50001', 's':'50002'}, 'electrum-xvg.party':{'t':'50001', 's':'50002'}, 'e1.verge-electrum.com':{'t':'50001', 's':'50002'}, 'e2.verge-electrum.com':{'t':'50001', 's':'50002'}, 'e3.verge-electrum.com':{'t':'50001', 's':'50002'} } i hope it helps you :D

Just having the Tor browser open on your desktop solves all the "not connected" issues. Somehow, the XVG Electrum Tor wallet is using the Tor connection that is established through the Tor browser when you open it. Problem solved!

[dazzlingdazzler]

Hey, i currently have the electrum bitcoin wallet version 3.1.3 and Im using it on Tor and Tails. Its been stuck on synchronizing for 2 days. I have been playing around with the servers but then it completely disconnects and says no connection... I dont know what to do
