Post by: SoyBatManX on August 29, 2025, 06:43:37 PM

137KFbL7orqq9pR7hh1Fm9raFzaToC3EtV

Transaction ID
113685061c222b3ae5f0f46fef0ba07bf85306c7fce1e86b43aea714802bbad5

The addtess was created with bitaddress.org
On a stand alone computer.


I sent 31k sats from my electrum wallet
It left my wallet fine. 6 plus confirmations

But i am not seeing them show up in Electrum
With show wallet only
Or with private keys

Is this address visible in address tab?

Most likely it's Address Type Mismatch

Quote
Bitaddress.org generates legacy (P2PKH, starting with “1…”) addresses by default.

Electrum lets you import a private key into different address types:

Legacy (1…)

SegWit (3…)

Native SegWit (bc1…)


If you import into the wrong type, Electrum will derive the wrong address and show 0 balance.

Since the transaction is confirmed on the blockchain, your funds are sent.  There is no further action required for that specific transaction.  The address 137KFbL7orqq9pR7hh1Fm9raFzaToC3EtV is a valid Bitcoin address, and the transaction with ID 113685061c222b3ae5f0f46fef0ba07bf85306c7fce1e86b43aea714802bbad5 shows that 31,000 satoshis were successfully sent to it.  You can verify this yourself on any blockchain explorer.

This means there is a problem with your destination wallet. As a previous member suggested, check the Address tab in your Electrum wallet and verify if the address 137KFbL7orqq9pR7hh1Fm9raFzaToC3EtV is actually listed there.  If the address is not present, you need to import the private key associated with it to see the funds.

I got my sats.
Bitadress creates 3 types of private keys.
Base58 starts with 5
52 char base58 starts with K or L
BIP38 starts with 6p

I was importing the wrong one into Electrum
Thanks for the fast help.

Is there a specific reason you're using Bitaddress to import a private key into Electrum? If it's a test to create a paper wallet it makes sense, but if you're not going to do that, there are better ways to create addresses.
