I have zero balance on my wallet opened in Electrum!Posting the address won't get your bitcoins stolen... Posting the private key will. When you sweep, the bitcoins is transferred to a new address. But because you said you didn't get any transaction it might be possible that the transaction never get broadcasted.

Please help! just share the details of your purchase and post your bitcoin address,if you sweep your coins it must show on your wallet this is from the FAQ of electrum Sweeping private keys means to send all the bitcoins they control to an existing address in your wallet. The private keys you sweep do not become a part of your wallet. Instead, all the bitcoins they control are sent to an address that has been deterministically generated from your wallet seed. To sweep private keys go to Wallet menu -> Private Keys -> Sweep. Enter the private keys in the appropriate field. Leave the ‘Address’ field unchanged. That is the destination address and it’ll be from your existing electrum wallet.

Receiving adress (public) is 1DMv6SKNL4EaJ3hiwvV4Cd9JfG1eUQWRFo (in Electrum program) Public bitcoin key (not the private one Iev sent it from)- is 1GBjWxsiUxmcnoat4vhgsHL43n6s9yH986 What happened was- 1. I bought bitcoins on bitcoin ATM on paper wallet... 2. I used blockchain earlier btu not this time. they dotn have import anymore 3. Downloaded Electrum and started new wallet (with seed) 4. Clicked on Sweep private key- and have written there my private key (from paper wallet) 5. I saved that file from it, and receiving adress was - 1DMv6SKNL4EaJ3hiwvV4Cd9JfG1eUQWRFo 6. My balance (while that adress is one of the supposed wallets) - is zero, and also I cannot sweep it again- it doesnt work anymore. Tahts what happened:-( Title: Re: Help, IM new and lost track of money Post by: longbob72 on September 28, 2016, 05:55:48 PM IM such a newb:-(.

Tahts what happened:-( That's the normal process and should've worked fine. Also we can see a transaction (https://blockchain.info/tx/0745d16acc2c9e0a8dac09f13aef41816578c9061b293e58ce8ca5c7d47d22bb) of 0.27995BTC being sent to 1DMv6SKNL4EaJ3hiwvV4Cd9JfG1eUQWRFo so it should've showed up in your electrum wallet. Check the network icon at the bottom right of your electrum wallet. If it's red or orange then close and open electrum again (sometimes it lags if left open too long.).

Thank you guys!!!!! Title: Re: Help, IM new and lost track of money Post by: longbob72 on September 28, 2016, 06:04:24 PM It finally showed up, but its unconfirmed.. Its taht unconfirmed alright? Is it normal? Thank you guys!!!!! It's normal, it'll be confirmed once the miners includes your transaction in a block. 0.0005BTC fee is high enough so it shouldn't take too long to get a confirmation.

Thank you guys!!!!! It looks like it has one confirmation - according to blockchain.info and blockexplorer.com. It just takes a bit of time. https://blockexplorer.com/address/1DMv6SKNL4EaJ3hiwvV4Cd9JfG1eUQWRFo https://blockchain.info/address/1DMv6SKNL4EaJ3hiwvV4Cd9JfG1eUQWRFo Title: Re: Help, IM new and lost track of money Post by: Petarosus18 on September 28, 2016, 06:09:13 PM Thank you guys...
