Title: Why does my transaction not show on my receiving wallet?

This transaction is in blockchain and I can see that it hasn`t been confirmed for the last 2 days or so. But my question is

Is it normal that I don`t see this being pending in the receiving wallet address?

It doesn`t show as a transaction being sent at all. I mean the fee I paid is not super low either and I`m fine with waiting for days but I want to make sure it`ll get there.

What wallet did you send to? If it was a full node like Bitcoin Core and the wallet was offline during the send... It's possible that it wasn't picked up by the mempool of the node. In that case, it won't show until the transaction gets confirmed and then the node will "see" the transaction when it receives the new block...

If you try rebroadcasting the transaction, the node might also get the notification of the unconfirmed transaction.

It was from a QT wallet to Electrum

And you're 100% sure that the receiving address is in your Electrum wallet? You can see this address in the "Addresses" tab in Electrum?

If it is definitely in your wallet, It's possible that the Electrum server you are connected to did not register this transaction in its mempool... Although I've not had that happen before... Maybe try a different server in this instance...

Your Electrum is connected? Green dot etc?

Is your Electrum wallet syncd?

Your last transaction has 100.592 sat/B fee so i don't think this will get confirmed any time soon...

You may want to check that you sent it to the correct wallet.

Yes I`m positive I`ve sent it from my QT wallet to my Electrum wallet which is in another computer. I have seen the transaction for couple days but then I sent some coins from that electrum wallet to another wallet and after the confirmation of that transaction the old transaction doesn`t show in the list anymore.

This is the transaction

Right now it`s not listed in the electrum wallet at all

It should be. I`ve never done anything and send/recieve coins to that everyday. Had no problem so far

You may want to check that you sent it to the correct wallet.

That was a good idea and actually a smart suggestion but I checked it and yes the wallet is right.

again, transaction showed in the wallet for couple days and now it doesn`t show there anymore like it`s coming



This is the tx
