The server your electrum wallet connects to might not be fully synced.

Try clicking the green circle at the bottom right of electrum, and a new window should open.

Inside the new window uncheck "select server automatically", and select a server from the list that appears. After that click the OK button and check if your coins show up in your wallet.

If it doesn't work the first time try repeating the process a few more times to make sure your wallet connected to a fully synced server.

The sequence you sent is called the address. Would you share that with us? Note that if you do so we will be able to see details regarding that transaction. We can't get at your bitcoins though. It is a privacy risk only.

That address you posted has received over 259 Bitcoins to it... and I suspect it is one of those "malware" collection addresses for a nasty malware that scans the computer clipboard for Bitcoin addresses and automatically replaces it with the malware address when you try to "paste" the Bitcoin address...:-\

You can try copying any bitcoin address like this one: 1CC3X2gu58d6wXUWMffpuzN9JAfTUWu4Kj

and then paste it into a message here and see if you still get the "19Y4NSiG" address... or the address you actually copied.

If it is electrum and transaction has already show on blockchain generate private key for this address,back up wallet and save seed key.Then delete wallet completely from executable files by search %appdata% click roaming and delete electrum files.Then you could also clean deleted files over by maybe cleaner and any registry issue if you wish.

Set up electrum wallet again and use start using existing key option and enter your seed key and wait until it sync with server.

If this does not work then delete all over again using method above and when restarting new wallet generate new seed key and import private key from other wallet into this one or restart using that private key instead of seed key.Try many different things but should be ok once you have your private key safe and seed/backup etc then you have many options to resolving of issue.

Sorry that you've been hit with the so-called "clipboard virus"... Sadly, you're not alone... The number of transactions is staggering :-\

Removing malware can be really problematic and time consuming... I usually just back up important data like documents and photos and then reformat the computer and reinstall the operating system.

But if you try the well known apps like malware bytes and spybot (google: malware removal) you might be able to locate and remove the malware. Personally, I recommend reformatting as it guarantees the virus/trojan/malware is gone... if you try and remove and miss one piece, it might come back :-/
