just a question regarding updating electrum and I'm still not entirely familiar with electrum. do I have to uninstall my electrum every time there is an update or there a way to update it without deleting electrum from my computer? I tried updating it using the link provided inside the wallet but while updating an error occurred and told me to either abort, retry or ignore. after clicking abort my electrum won't open so I decided to just uninstall it then installing the latest version. again, is there a better way of updating electrum other than uninstalling and stalling it again? TIA!
I would not recommend updating from the app itself as there was a malware version pushed (it is noted on electrum.org as well).
Always download from electrum then verify signature and then update it from verified version.
Warning: Electrum versions older than 3.3.4 are susceptible to phishing. Do not download Electrum from another source than electrum.org, and learn to verify GPG signatures.
