The problem was only temporary. Seems just fine now. I guess some of the servers might have trouble keeping up with the block chain. I know I gave up trying for that reason.
Topic: Electrum wont connect (Read 1401 times)
Hello, I am trying Electrum on a machine that never had it. I unzipped the archive and dropped it into
C:\Program Files and then created a shortcut to the Python file. Electrum 1.8 started up and gave me an option to import a private key or create a new one. I chose the option to create a new wallet. Since then "Electrum 1.8" always says "Connecting..." I am trying various servers but with no result. This worries me.
I am using Electrum with the same computer I am browsing with now using Windows. I use 1.7.* on my other machine and well, it's less portable and there is no connection there.
P.S. : I switch the server to btcback.com using tcp on the standard port and though it initially displayed 'connecting', when I restarted Electrum it displayed 'synchronizing'. Does that mean the server is synchronizing? It's been like this for minutes now.
