Shapeshifted from XMR to BTC, now electrum wont sync.... A guy on this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/73h9pf/electrum_wont_sync_and_transaction_says/ Is having the same problem but no one has offered a solution. Anyone else getting this?

Every other wallet is working. The one I used shapeshift with (brand new) does not sync. It says it's syncing then never does. I've tried manually selecting servers, restoring the seed on a new tails key, etc.

Dude,

  1. keep the title simple and short. Posting URLs is counterproductive cause it links to the damn self post.
  2. it's a problem with electrum 2,7.9 and syncs fine with newer version
  3. try this

I am dealing with the same problem with one of my wallets right now. It's frustrating as I have a lot of bitcoin in the wallet. I have lots of backups of the wallet.dat file (and the seed obviously) but they all behave the same way even on different systems, i.e constantly trying to synchronize but never actually getting there.

Your bitcoins are safe and they can't go anywhere. You can just access the private key of the bitcoin address they were sent to. Sweep it into another wallet that is working right.

Wait until someone else answers because they might be an easier solution to synchronize that shit.
