Dear developers,

Electrum is not opening up on Big Sur.
Is this a bug or can you help me?

You're closing this topic but you're not saying when you're going to fix it!!!! Why?

[SomberNight]

This specific topic was closed because it is a duplicate. It's already fixed on master, which means the next release will contain the fix.

To be clear, even in the meantime, you can access your coins, as you could

• run from source (see e.g. Electrum won't open on MacOS Big Sur (macOS 11, OSX 10.16, does not start) #6461 (comment))
• fire up a VM with e.g. older macOS or GNU/Linux or Windows and run from there
• use an Android phone and run from there
• use another PC of yours and run from there

Also, you might want to consider using an operating system that does not break userspace. Sane OS maintainers would consider this whole issue a bug in the OS, not the other way around.

Anyway, we will try to do a release soon, probably in the coming week.

(there are some external links pointing to this issue instead of the original, so reposting here as well)

we have released Electrum 4.0.5 now, with the workaround of using old PyQt5
