Bitcoin Forum

Hello,

Im new to electrum. I sent $250usd to one of my electrum addresses but only $98usd showed up. Did anyone else have this problem? My fee settings were set to dynamic fees. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Can you share the TXID so that we know what actually happen in your transaction..
Because its impossible to receive less bitcoin when receiving in electrum its should be deducted only the fee for transaction..
Where your bitcoins from?

you don't get charged money to receive bitcoin. the sender gets charged transaction fees on the order of a couple dollars worth but that is usually not deducted from amount sent to you (sender bears tx fees). that money goes to miners. electrum itself does not charge you anything. it's opensource software and you can go look at the source code if you like:

in the past when we've had people complaining about stuff like this it's because they bought bitcoins from shady websites that scammed them. is that what you did?

If you right click and click "view on block explorer" how much does it say you should have recieved from that block explorer? You can also right clikc and click copy ID and paste the txID here to help us work out what the potential problem is.
It was probably an automated service that made the mistake or a scammer who sent you lower than you expected so you may want to launch a complant against the support for that service.

If you were scammed you can start a scam accusation in this board.
