The fact that there are less than 50 servers scares me quite a bit.
What happens if all the Electrum servers go offline?

If all 50 servers disappear, you can still set up your own Smiley

And with that one I can then send my BTC to a non-light wallet, by making a last transfer from Electrum to another BTC address, right?
Indeed.

OK, thank you Smiley
However, aren't 50 server a bit few?
I mean, I didn't have performance problems up to now, but in the future?

The Electrum developers will probably tackle that if it ever becomes a problem, don't worry Smiley

There are plenty of servers to satisfy the current number of clients.  If anything, I am probably going to shut down a server or two as the load is negligible.
