Hi Wusolini

Yes I think my money is lost.  The $15 was from Simplex.  I have used Coinbase now and made a successful purchase of $50 worth of BTC.  And my ultimate goal yesterday was to buy verge and of course now that has doubled today.  What is the best way and for me the simplest user friendly way to convert BTC into XVG ??

 I tried to message you, but I guess your settings do not allow "newbies."
The electrum bitcoin address I used to receive from changelly is

Should I message you directly?

I looked at changelly again, and I saw if I made the same purchase again it would have a fee of .00004246 BTC, but coverting that to Satoshis is I think 4,246.  That's not right is it?  Also changelly sent me through simplex and that is when the added $15 happened.

Hi Wusolini,  Thank you again.  It is definitely like learning a new language and navigating a city I've never been to in a foreign land all without the benefit of a friend or guide.  I've been trying my best to understand this new landscape and when I initially bought Etheruem in October, I was just touching upon a few catch phrases.

Now, I have no idea how much satoshi, there was a fee of $15 of my $100 purchase.  Again I used changelly and logging back in now, I do not see my transaction in the history.  I am somewhat concerned my money may be lost.  I did use changelly in October without any issues, received an email back with my transaction, etc.  So far I have not received anything.

Being a newbie, and looking upon your legendary status, I wonder if I am too much of a bother to ask these questions?  When I mention my miniscule investment into crypto currencies to people here in Maine, no one has any clue what I am talking about.

Thank you Wusolini!  That makes me feel somewhat better, if my calculations are correct, it could take about 14 hours. 

Using Changelly I made a purchase of bitcoins, which I put into my Electrum wallet and the first address within that wallet.  I know there are slow speeds right now for the transaction to fulfill and I know my checking acct has been debited the money, but how long should it take?  And how exactly does it show up in my electrum wallet?  Just by opening my wallet on my computer, will it show up?
