1  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Electrum BTC wallet FEES!!!??? on: December 20, 2017, 04:39:51 PM
Hi All,

Apologies moderators if this is the wrong place or already answered, please move if necessary.

1. I have BTC in an Electrum wallet on mac pro.
2. I'm going down the route of extracting the BCC, I'm going to use Electron Cash (unless warned otherwise).
3. I have created a new Electrum wallet, so far so good.
4. I decided to do a small amount test send to the new wallet, I sent 0.001 BTC.
5. The transaction is processing but shows a total of -0.005 from my wallet.  This is broken down into the 0.001 I sent, a second address that shows 0.002, so where has that 0.002 gone, fees to trustedcoin?, and where the heck is the other 0.002 that is showing me the total of 0.005, 5x the total I sent!!! I sent equivalent to £12.11 and the total thats gone is £63.64......that can't be right that to send the bitcoin I've been charged 5x its value!!!!

The invisible 0.002 that doesn't show up anywhere in Electrum or in the details of the transaction is pretty worrying, this looks like double spend which I thought was what BTC overcomes?

The new Electrum wallet shows the 0.001 transferred (unconfirmed).

Thanks for any advice and input, highly appreciated.

Cheers.

Hi,

I'm a newbie to post but not read and hoping someone a lot smarter than me (which are many) can help with the worrying issues I'm having. I have read several threads and tried to find solutions to no avail and apologies if these have all been answered before, elsewhere.

I am on a Macbook Pro using Sierra.

Issue 1.

1. I mined and bought BTC back in 2014.
2. They were all put into a Multibit Classic Wallet and have remained there until now.
3. I recently downloaded Electrum to move the contents over understanding Multibit is WAY out of date, unsupported and potentially volatile now.
4. When I enter the Electrum 'receiving address' into Multibit it is not recognied as a BTC address.  I have read differences and incompatibilities between compressed and uncompressed keys, is this the issue?
5. I have tried to save the private keys from Multibit to my computer, here begins issue 2.

Issue 2.

1. So, from Electrum I decided to try a sweep of keys to bring all into the new wallet.
2. Having theoretically saved the keys from Multibit Classic, the process was confirmed, it gives me a directory where it has been saved on my comptuter 'user/"name"/library/application support/multibit/multibit.wallet'
2. On MY computer 'application support' doesn't exist in this location, it is elsewhere and inside there is no Multibit folder, the ONLY multibit folder I have, or can find, is to launch the program?!?
3. ......Mega Panic sets in.

Issue 3.

1. Having dowloaded Electrum, all seemed ok. setup seed, password, default wallet created.
2. When I shut down Electrum I cannot find the file/folder, computer says 'file doesn't exist'
3. I tried to reopen from the launcher but it prompted going through the whole process again.
4. Back to the absent application support folder I can find nothing on my computer relating to the recent new set up of the Electrum wallet.

Big panic, anyone have any ideas or solution please, I've read a lot, tried a lot and getting confused by all the solutions on offer and not working and of course mega nervous to lose my BTC.  The absence of a folder with files, .key docs, etc. seems to be strange.

Cheers!

All Solved Now!  Cheers all! Grin
