Thank you for the responses but I do not think it is a Electrum problem.The transaction has been sent because it shows confirmations so it is a bitcoin or blockchain problem

Hello I hope you can help, about 10 hours ago I sent 6 coins and when I check the transaction it still says minus one confirmation. The money has not arrived to where it is supposed to go!! I have never seen this before. It says minus one confirmation after 10 hours in the area that shows  the transaction history in my wallet but when I check the address on the chain it says 65 confirmations the address is 1Ntnp57qTiWhhMDBp37ZcEpRjgiA1Q6jHd

this is the link to the blockchain analysis if you want to help me out

This is the link I got when I right clicked the transaction in the Electrum account history area.I have never seen this happen where the money seems to be lost. I hope not or I have lost faith in bitcoin.Please help if you can we need to pay the rent soon!!

Hello, I am here tonight to see if you can help with a thought I have. I want to download Armory but I have worries that it will require me to download the blockchain again. I remember the 60 hours I spent waiting to download blockchain before with the qt client I think  it is called.

My question is this:

If I download the Armory wallet and synch it, will it take more than...20 minutes?
Electrum looks good because it does not require a full download of the blockchain

Thank you

I am new to Monero and hope the community here can help me with a important question. How can I make a Monero transfer? With bitcoin you just put the bc address and then send it but with Monero it is more complicated.This is what is says on the site where I am trying to make the transaction

    
"To fund your account using moneros, you need to send an amount via wallet using following string:
transfer 0 45VChYME906HhzHzkcZXdJWXazQNRqy8ZKM3zSTiovzbAbhM9873zQsY3kFjtCNfX9x2Wy9NRRKcxv9 M249hUV4bQGaD92c
{amount} 956e38e39040e2c9f6c32025158b1b9a109488edcfceb5e221534a4b3fbf961
copy command or create a new payment Id

You must use both payment id and wallet address!"

I am trying to fund my account and I am having a hard time finding my payment id and wallet address.

Thank you for any help

Can anyone tell me how to un-install electrum with the linux command line. I am very new to linux sorry!!

Ok so to reinstall I need to have the wallet file which is about 25 kb in size and I also need my list of words.With that I have nothing to worry about right?I will try on another computer I have.I feel nervous because there is alot of money there

Why would this happen, why would the configuration file become corrupt?I did nothing wrong!

myusername ~ $ electrum
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/electrum", line 174, in <module>
    config = SimpleConfig(config_options)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/electrum/simple_config.py", line 33, in __init__
    self.read_user_config()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/electrum/simple_config.py", line 157, in read_user_config
    raise IOError("Cannot read config file.")
IOError: Cannot read config file.
myusername ~ $

What is the command to run it from the terminal? I want to try that first then I will erase the 2 files and try to restart it. I am talking about the advice to erase the 2 files and restart as mentioned above.

Thank you for all your fast responses. First I am going to backup the wallet. It is 25kb in size does that sound right? It is in a file called "wallets" and inside is one file called "Default_Wallet"

Sound good?

I have alot of money there so I am scared to reinstall. There must be some way to force it to start or diagnose it?

Hello, today I am trying to open my electrum wallet and it will not open nothing happens. I am using a linux system so I do not think it is a virus or anything but I am worried that something bad has happened. Can anyone advise me?

is there tails on linux?

I needed some money to pay for some things but in my account I only had .1 coin. So I deposited .7 more as I showed above with what I pasted before earlier in this post. After the money cleared I went to sell the coins with a user on the localbitcoins site who was buying coins.When I was at that page again it showed me my balance was good so I continued to sell all the coins to that buyer and so I pushed the submit of the deal and then I got an error page.I went back and refreshed the page and then there was no balance in my account but that was no problem because I thought the money went to the escrow system. So I wanted to check the order and I went to the dashboard and saw there was no deal made with that user and there was also no history of the deal. The money was gone from my account and there was no deal to work with the buyer.

I never add any bitcoin software to my system, I have only downloaded a bitcoin wallet

Hello, thank you for your response. I know how the site works pretty well. I did check closed contacts and there is no contact created or existing for that date June 20.Of course in the wallet area there shows to be money going out:

This shows how I deposited .7 coins, I deposited them just to sell them, 2-3 minutes after depositing them I did the sale deal to cash out my coins and get cash. People who are saying that I was scammed or fished or whatever dont make sense because how is someone going to take the money from my account 2-3 minutes after I deposit my money.
The thief would have to see that I had .1 coin and not take it and then be sitting there for hours refreshing the page until i got money for hours and days and then immediately after i got money remove it and this is very very unlikely.Why did he not just take the .1 coins? How would he know more money was coming? How would he know when the deposit arrived so fast?? How could he gain access to my account I dont have viruses and use a linux system!

To me it seems that this whole thing of people scamming or fishing peoples accounts is a cover for the management of this site stealing peoples money.I have lost over $500!!

Untill I get my money back from these people this is a scam site.Beware of Localbitcoins.com!!

Ok I am glad you are here.Let me explain it to you.

Ate -swallowed-chewed. It does not matter the word it is to say that I put money into localbitcoins to do a sale deal to get my $600 to pay bills.This is my money-understand? It has been 3 weeks since I submitted a sale on the localbitcoins.com site and the site gave me an error message and my money disappeared.They can see I just deposited the money to do the sale and then did the sale but they do not want to admit they have a fault.
Like I said before there was no order in the dashboard.There was no area to contact the seller, send them my bank account information or release the money after verifying the payment.

If you are going to have a system handling  millions of dollars of peoples money, especially after what happened with MT GOX scamming people, then you better have a system well designed that will not loose peoples money. At least if you do have an error admit it and refund the lost amount so people feel you are trustworthy and well managed.

Not trying to be mean but are you retarded? Or do you work for the localbitcoins?

Read the first sentence of  my post!!

"About 3 weeks ago I was using my Localbitcoins account to sell bitcoins. I only had about .1 coins and then I deposited .7 more to have .8 coins."

I did the transfer to sell coins and their system ate my money...read

About 3 weeks ago I was using my Localbitcoins account to sell bitcoins. I only had about .1 coins and then I deposited .7 more to have .8 coins.When the money cleared and was ready I went to sell the coins wih a user on the Localbitcoins site.When I clicked to do the selling coins deal I saw an error message and then after I went back to the wallet area my money was gone 0 balance. Then I tried to check the dashboard and it did not show an open deal for the money.The balance was gone I had no deal with my seller.The localbitcoins account ate my money basically and I did never receive my payment from the user who was going to buy from me.Nothing just money gone. I have been working with support for 3 weeks and the first responses were that they were sorry someone had unauthorized access to my account. I told them over and over I never said that someone had unauthorized access to my account, I told them that I made a deal to sell coins and their system took the money without giving me a communication with the buyer as I already explained.

The real problem for the community is that this is a huge organization that is holding peoples money in "ëscrow"". Their system is eating money and if they want to give many other people these error messages when they are doing deals and they eat the money of so many users then how are we as a btc community safe?? Especailly when their support just sends the same empty responses and nothing is done to fix their systems problems.

I hope people are aware of the risks with locabitcoins.com

If this is fixed I will respond here and say what happened
