Title: haven't received bitcoin from coinbase to electrum
Post by: ppppp123 on October 24, 2017, 03:47:53 AM
I'm worried I really fucked up.

Have electrum, have used it a couple times before. Wanted to buy some BTC from coinbase to toss into electrum. $450 worth.

Go to receive tab and copy the address there, put it into coinbase, send. Hours later, transaction is confirmed but no coins. wtf? Now realizing there is a "save" button there on the address tab, so I press it. Any advice?

Did coinbase gave you the TXID? if so, Can you post it here so we can know if the transaction is really confirmed.

Alco check if your electrum wallet is synced. There should be a green dot on the bottom right of it or blue if you're connected to a proxy.

If you don't want to share your data here, go to blockchain.info and put in your transactions ID or wallet address.
Maybe there are new security features and you must confirm the payment via email link.

Hey same problem here, but resolved :)

I made a BTC shipment of an exchange to my wallet electrum sending it to the address of reception.

On the site https://live.blockcypher.com/ the transaction was well done but I had nothing in my portfolio Electrum. This one was empty.

I restarted Electrum and magically the transaction came back. I also changed the block browser online for blockcypher.

Try it and i hope your problem resolved too.

There are a few things you could try:

1. Change your Electrum server manually. Tools -> Network -> Unmark "Select server automatically" -> Right click one of the servers that has the higher "Height" and "Use as server";
2. Restore your wallet again. Just go to the "Create wallet" wizard and restore your wallet with its seed.
