Please how do i get my electrum sync with blockchain?
I have and old version of electrum wallet portable version 1.7 running on windows 11 that i had being using since 2013 till date but after changing my internet modem. I started receiving an error when i open my electrum saying
"A problem occurred when attempting to sync with the blockchain. Try manually running resync.cmd"
When was the last time you opened your wallet? I am curious to know because versions older than 3.3.4 (if I'm not mistaken) can not connect to the network and this has been the case for more than three years.
The best thing you can do is to import your wallet seed or wallet file into a newer version (the latest is 4.33) and make sure to download it from the official website and verify its signature.
You can also, in case V 1.7 allows exporting signed raw transactions, create a transaction sending all your coins to a new wallet you own, sign it with the current version then broadcast it using any online tool such as coinb.in

Before doing any of the above, make sure to make more than one copy of your wallet file and save it in a safe place. Newer versions of Electrum will change the wallet format and if something goes wrong it will be almost impossible to fix it.

Farewell LEO, you *will* be missed.

The worst is that i had misplaced my seeds and master keys i only have just the files backed up on my onedrive. I would be very happy if you can assist me sir.

From what I know that old versions of Electrum are not handled by the servers.
I am not familiar with how Electrum 1.7 was, but, based on the UI of current Electrum maybe you can try some things:

* one direction could be to check if you have the seed symbol on bottom-right, or in menus (wallet->seed maybe?) and try to recover the seed, which then you enter in a new Electrum (which you should verify before you use, for your own money's safety, see https://bitcoinelectrum.com/how-to-verify-your-electrum-download/)

* another direction could be to enable Addresses tab (view->show addresses) and for each funded address right-click and get the private key. Those private keys then you add into new Electrum (import addresses or private keys, see the info at the next step, ..)

If one of these works and you need more help, ask more precisely.



I will add that keeping your wallet or seed online can get your coins stolen.
Even doing this kind of operations on a computer connected to the internet is risky.
I advise you get a hardware wallet as soon as you've recovered the 0.6 BTC, then move your coins into hardware wallet's safety.
I also advise you ignore help on private channels (private messages, telegram, whatever) because they can easily lead to you getting scammed.
