to see the status of your transaction look at the history tab and not the receive tab. does the transaction show up on the history tab?

There have been a few instances in the past of wallets showing addresses that the wallet didn't have the private keys for. Most of these were traced to a file corruption bug that was fixed in recent versions. In addition to that in recent versions there's a check done within the software to ensure that any addresses it displays on the receive tab are derived from the wallet master public key (which is in turn derived from the seed). It's not fool proof because if you have malware it can do whatever it likes but it's there anyway. Was your wallet installed on a USB flash drive? Have you done a file system check recently? Maybe using badblocks or fsck? |

There are no trusted servers. In the electrum model you're not supposed to trust servers anyway. The phishing message was just a message. If you ignored it nothing bad happened. If you're using 3.3.4 the server can't display phishing messages either so even that is no longer a problem.

drwxr-xr-x 5 myUser myUser 4,0K jul 12 2018 .
drwxr-x--- 80 myUser myUser 4,0K apr 30 08:56 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4,0K apr 25 07:00 bin
drwx------ 4 root root 4,0K apr 24 15:31 lib
drwxr-xr-x 23 myUser myUser 4,0K apr 29 21:39 share Something is wrong with my OS? Yeah you see those two directories are owned by root so the installation program can't write to them. I suggest chowning them to your user: sudo chown -R myUser:myUser /home/myUser/.local/
Anyway since running it from the untarred tarball now works for you I suggest you keep running it that way. Maybe make a shortcut to run_electrum on your desktop. Installation is overrated IMO. |

you need minimum MacOS 10.11 like it says in the error message.

Listen maybe it would be better if you simply untarred the tarball and ran electrum directly. Don't bother with installing it. Just cd to the directory that is created by extracting the tarball and do a ./run_electrum. Make a link to that file on your desktop for easy access.

testnet bitcoins are not real bitcoins btw. you may be the victim of a scam.
you shouldn't be installing plugins from random sources either.

I did as you told me, but I get the following errore while installing: Exception:

>Requirement already satisfied: aiorpcx in ./.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages It's not installing it sitewide. It's installing it some home directory. Either the unprivileged user's or /root i.e. root's. I suggest uninstalling electrum with `sudo python3 -m pip uninstall electrum` and then installing it as an unprivileged user i.e. `python3 -m pip install --user <pathtoelectrumtarball>`. |

can you check your browser history and confirm the exact url you downloaded electrum from? also do you see a green orb in the bottom right?

Inputs with small balance have total size 247 844 bytes
Did you try splitting the transaction into 2 or 3 as per nc50lc's post? BTW if you intend to send someone bitcoin now you don't necessarily have to send to your own address first. You can send to the recipient's address in 2-3 smaller transactions instead of one large one. |

You scanned the qr code using your phone? Is your phone rooted?
|
|
|

ok that worked now it asks 'Script path and deviation type' followed with choices 'legacy', 'p2sh-segwit', 'native-segwit'
which should I choose?
If the 12 word seed was originally generated by electrum then they are leading you down the wrong path. bip39 option is only for seeds generated by other wallet software. See here for help with your problem. |

They probably moved on to targeting altcoin clients.

@HCP people get even more confused by the addresses tab. They wonder why there are so many addresses. So that's why the addresses tab is hidden by default and the receive tab is there to hand out one address at a time. It serves a useful purpose although it could be improved.
@OP What version of electrum are you using? Do you see a balance in the bottom left? What color orb do you see in the bottom right? Either you need to update to 3.3.4, you're not synced with the network (red orb) or the sender hasn't sent you the money yet. BTW when you receive money or send money it shows up on the history tab.

So the addresses in your wallet are p2pkh ones i.e. 1 address right? It could be that you were hit by transaction id changes by miners what is also called transaction ID malleability. That would break the link between child and parent transactions.

I know electrum is under DDoS attack. But my issue is how come one address was wiped clean and not others? I have checked all addresses on blockchain and so far their have funds in them. Just one has missing.
A wallet is more than one address. It consists of many addresses including change addresses. Electrum routinely sends money from address to address when you spend bitcoins. You may want to read up about change. So until and unless you sync your electrum wallet you won't see the whole picture. The current advice regarding that is to disable auto connect, pick one server and let it keep attempting to connect for a few minutes. If it doesn't work switch to another server. How to change servers is explained here. Alternatively if you don't have the patience for this you can export your private keys via wallet > private keys > export and import them into a different wallet. |
