The current version in Gentoo is very out of date. A newer version is needed (latest is 3.3.4.1 upstream), for a number of reasons, but the most important is that it doesn't even work now because public servers are rejecting pre-3.3 versions due to a vulnerability (see announcement at https://electrum-ltc.org/ ).
