Electrum Stuck Synchronizing?

So I've restarted tails and Electrum multiple times. Tried running it on newest version of tails and the version regards Chris before 3.0. both versions I enter my wallet seed and just get stuck on "Synchronizing." Anyone else had a similar issue before? Is the blockchain really just that backed up? I left overnight to sync and it's still stuck where it was when I went to sleep still nothing. A few ppl on the sub have already been giving me some tips and tricks to try just wanna make sure I'm not missing anything. Thanks for help in advance guys. Worst part is Bitcoin has dropped in value since this started to happen :(

This happened to me once with just one tx. I manually sent the raw tx data from the console in bitcoind, and then electrum was able to sync afterward.

Not sure if that will help, as you haven't mentioned an actual tx, just a sync-ing problem. But it worked for me.

Anyway, you can always just use something other than electrum to push your tx and / or hold your funds while you figure it out.

Also, here's my personal BTC address, I'll hold onto them for you... ... j/k
