Electrum LTC Not Connected: Troubleshooting Tips

Are you experiencing issues connecting your Electrum wallet to the Electrum server running on MyNode? If so, don't worry - there are several steps you can take to resolve common problems. In this article, we'll guide you through the process of troubleshooting and reconnecting your Electrum wallet.

Step 1: Check Your Server Log

First, open the status page and verify that there are no obvious errors in the Electrum Server log. This will help you identify any potential issues with your server setup. Additionally, make sure the Electrum status icon on the MyNode home screen is green and the status is Running.

Step 2: Verify Configuration

Next, verify that your IP address matches exactly in your Electrum wallet settings. If you're having trouble connecting, click the red light on the bottom right corner of your wallet and check the proxy tab to ensure that 'Use Tor proxy at port 9050' and 'Use proxy' are checked.

Step 3: Restart Your Computer

Sometimes, simply restarting your computer can resolve connectivity issues. Make sure to save your wallet successfully before restarting, as this may help resolve any problems you're experiencing.

Step 4: Move Electrum-LTC Files

If you're still having trouble connecting, try moving the electrum-ltc folder to the Dotfiles folder on the left sidebar. You can do this by pressing control+H to display hidden folders. This will allow Tails to save your Electrum files in a secure location.

Step 5: Recover Your Wallet

If you need to recover your wallet, you'll need to save your seed and use it to recover your wallet every time you reset Tails. You can do this using keepass or another password manager.

Alternative Solution

If the above steps don't resolve your issue, there's an alternative solution. You can set up a persistent volume and dot files on your Tails installation. This will allow you to save your Electrum files in a secure location and recover them if needed.

In this article, we've outlined several troubleshooting tips for resolving common issues with connecting your Electrum wallet to the Electrum server running on MyNode. By following these steps, you should be able to reconnect your wallet and start using it again. Remember to always save your seed and use keepass or another password manager to recover your wallet if needed.
