Links to download the new Electra QT wallets (v 1.30 ) have been added to the OP and to the Electra website. Upgrading to this version is a top prority for all Electra users. Credit for this version goes to the developers of Mycellium and Ruru, development coordinator of Electra.
You can view changes here:
https://github.com/Electra-project/electra/commits/masterI can't get the new wallet to ever sync. Active connections are: 0.
Here are some observations:
I can tell it reads the old wallet.dat just fine since the recent "transactions" appear in the wallet, but with zero confirmations.
I tried adding in the config file I found here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yPBzR9LF3Z6y7QggHo8D6u5qKVUO7CfP/viewand here:
https://electraexplorer.com/status... but when I start up the wallet, that file gets re-written with a shorter addnode list.
It gets re-written whenever the wallet is restarted ... so there seems to be no way to hold any new addnodes.
While hovering over the little globe, I can see that there are zero active connections, but on one occasion I did see it change to a "1" active connection for a split second, then it went back to zero.
I can ping some of the addnodes on the list (like: 137.74.196.251) and they give a reply. So, my PC is connecting.
The machine is running win7 32-bit.
The processes that are running are:
electrad-win32-ia32.exe, and Electra Desktop.exe (three of these)
... but the wallet remains with zero active connections, and therefore no sync.
(the old wallet had been working fine for me, up until a few blocks ago)
