Title: Sent vertcoin to bitcoin electrum wallet
Post by: thecoon150 on October 30, 2017, 06:12:28 AM
I apologize if this has already been discussed

I'm very new to cryptos and today i bought $150 worth of bitcoins on coinbase. I sent it to shapeshifter which converted it to vertcoins and put the receiving as one of the addresses in my electrum wallet.

The problem is it's the bitcoin electrum as i didn't know there was a specific one for vertcoins. The transaction was completed on shapeshifter but my wallet still says 0 on electrum.

My specs are

Bitcoin Client Software and Version Number: Electrum 2.9.3 and electrum vtc 2.9.33
Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit
System Hardware Specs: i-7
Description of Problem: sent vertcoins to bitcoin electrum wallet and balance says 0
Any Related Addresses: None
Any Related Transaction IDs: None
Screenshot of the problem:
Log Files from the Bitcoin Client:
I'm asking if there's a way i can send it to my new wallet or at least retrieve my funds as i work minimum wage and $150 is a lot to me.

Any help will be appreciated.




Sorry wrong section

Did you use the real website https://shapeshift.io/ or a fake "shapeshifter"?

Vertcoins can't be sent to a Bitcoin address, you'll get this error:

If you used a fake website, your coins are gone. If you used the real website, it shouldn't have gone through. Please clarify.
