Bitcoins stuck at pending in electrum

Just bought some coin and sent it over just like i normally do, and electrum will not sync the payment.

tried reconnecting to different networks and restarting. should I restart tails? this has never happened before.

I'm not sure if it's still lagging but I was on my electrum wallet about an hour ago and it said it was. Might have something to do with it, don't recommend reinstalling anything

Sometimes mine has a delay on the pending part too but it always goes through eventually

You more than likely need to install the latest version of electrum.

Save your wallet seed,

Install latest electrum, (there's a bunch of tutorials, just do your research.)

Import wallet from seed,

Reconnect.

Buy drugs.

You can also check if your transaction was broadcasted on blockchain.info/pushtx

If it was broadcasted you need to play the waiting game. If it gives you an error, your electrum is out of date.
