[Pkg-bitcoin-devel] Bug#875828: electrum: AssertionError when trying to open my wallet

[Kiko Piris]

Package: electrum
Version: 2.7.9-1
Severity: important

When opening my defaul_wallet, electrum hangs “Synchronizing...”

And in stdout it shows this:

---8<---
Exception in thread Thread-3:

When I created this wallet (yesterday) it opened just fine. It began to fail
after I had transferred some bitcoins to the receive address.

If I create other wallets: a completely new one or one from a seed that I used
several months ago, they open just fine.

But when I try to open that default_wallet I get the mentioned error. I tried
changing servers manually several times, it always fails

Now I can’t access my bitcoins.

Thanks
