I also believe that by default, the electrum server that you connect to is random, so it is hard to make the determination if your server is running a "good" version of core or not.
My personal solution is to start a full node, and once the blockchain is downloaded, to run an electrum server that relies on the most recent version of Bitcoin core
The Electrum clients connect to Electrum Servers at random. However, if you have a favorite you can also default to it. I do. I personally like electrum.dragonzone.net and electrum.drollette.com. Why? They are always present, and they maintain a limit of 10 000 UTXOs (UTXO = Unspent Transactions Outputs)- which implies they are serious about being reliable Electrum-Servers (requires more computing power, memory and bandwidth to maintain a 10 000 limit, compared to a 100 limit).
Electrum-Servers are operating on pure voluntarily will - they have no incentives to do so. Higher limits show how committed they are to the SPV Electrum cause. Please support them by sending them a donation (their BTC donation addresses are usually listed in the console tab). You can select your favorite server by clicking on the Green dot (bottom right) of your Electrum window - uncheck the automatic selection, and select your favorite server.
Electrum-Servers also have to operate a full Bitcoin-core node - it would be great if they would advertise in their console msg the Bitcoin-core version they are using!
If you have a Trezor, SatoshiLabs already indicated that their backend node was already updated to the latest version 0.10.2 if you are using their mytrezor.com Chrome interface - see here
Most likely not, my full node with armory and the core is over 100 GB, so its getting intolerably big.
We need reputable, quick acting (no bureocracy) full node people who store the blockchain.
So if a problem like this happens, they can respond in less than 1 day, and fix it. If blockhain.info already fixed their stuff, which is great, they are very quick and anti-bureocratic, i love that
I'm still seeing discrepancy of .06 btc, so I'm guessing blockchain.info is still working on fixing the database between June 16-23.
This thread is about the bitcoin blockchain, not technical support for blockchain.info wallet. By the way, it is not uncommon for bc.i to provide inaccurate info
