Hi appreciate all input, also advice. Will see that the seed is not any where near a keyboard/laptop/computer or a cheap safe power tools is another question but something a 5 $ wrench wouldnt do much too.

The electrum number was generated as a result of a google search, have briefly surfed through the electrum documentation and it seems they have set it all up perfectly to not need input from a 3rd party. Which could always be compromised as an attacker could find what methods or platforms are being used to support customers and imitate a worker. Should have looked into it more thoroughly

I was less thinking on the compromised side of things and more a glitch, when there are two devices that have joint access it could become apparent this is the reason not a vulnerability that another has gotten something from. The balance was there for an extended period though what made me question had time to get a quote of amount through preev and come back to it.

A very helpful member of this community screened the txid and put to rest abit that it was sent to a wallet of mine so im back to being an electrum believer

Regards

And there was one main transaction that sent out your Bitcoins (0.03156806 BTC worth 353.23 USD at that time) to this address - 38Ljhn2ZfXJkKpYFKsEjPyiCBmvHumteYP on 2020-07-28 01:24 (I believe that was you who did this)

This probably is correct as I have an additional wallet that gives on option to choose what kind of address you want to receive btc too, the shortest ones are the segwit compatibility easiest to read and write from separate devices least stress to and they start with 3 100% of the time, next time if I see any coin in my wallet upon loading and synchronizing

I will divulge into why its there and where else it could be stored while I use it for the days purpose  then come back to it ifit has been safely stored elsewhere. Instead of folding it over into a flurry of new trades, btc balances that are laggy is not what im used too its something I could expect from using other cyrpto than btc, but I have to be ready for all possibilities

There couldnt be a way the seed was leaked electronically.  I store them offline but still on computer too, will may take a further step to prevent future attacks and store it further than where it currenty is take it off the computer and store it cold I believe the terminology is.

I dont really know of the gap limit but do know if the wallet was used on only one channel from one device having this happened would be more shocking but where I did restore the wallet on another device the sync up may not of collated properly, although have experience with wallets this is the first time I have tethered it elsewhere so new plausible scenarios are welcomed

Its shocking about not needing the passphrase to load the wallet and with the seed people could access funds. Just makes me want to be a step closer to strong internet security

Hi where could the bitcoin address be, when I double click the transaction in query it has a few different address on it il post the TxiD incase its the one

17f4a96f538d4b26a0a55b87ac3258c6fa86bbfd1e8ffddb9784d5a2e4d7d65a


There wasnt an update I have clicked on through anywhere, what I see could of happened is where the wallet is used on my primary laptop too could of confused the wallet when I logged in through my this device, still have yet to see an available balance stay there for so long if it wasnt genuine, wanted to get on with receiving/ transferring thats why I didnt thoroughly check what it was doing there, was going to come back too it but by then my new trades merged and it got a while lot more confusing

Thats why my last transaction on this laptop is from the 28th of last month and would be more recent from my one where its logged in else where

I downloaded electrum on this laptop May dont think they have bought a new update out since, but then again I dont know of timeframes electrum aims to let out updates, hope one hasnt been since May, could you loose coins if you have not got the update??Many thanks for the help

Regards

 

Hi yes there a was a search engine involved in the search, thanks for the advice too. Appreciated

There is a few transactions that clouds up where they could have gone too. It does show transfers coming
And leaving the last few transactions. Dont see where it would of gone too

When the wallet fully synchronized it was there. Normally some wallets I use flash the prior balance before loading
The exact balance, I waited for it to synchronize double tripe checked. Was suprised, would of had about a 100 usd in there
But btc has been rising so the 300 usd is not out of the ordinary.

Il check the version its the 3.3.8 standard Electrum. Had nothing but great remarks about how sturdy the wallet is
But this little hiccup is worth chasing up for the btc involved

The specified funds would have been left in the wallet havent got a date of recieving them but last time using the wallet
Was on the 28th of last month 28/07 it does have a minus next to it for 0.031 which is the amount specified. Guess the minus means it left the wallet. Question is why would it have showed me that as my balance. I have had 2 transfers after that. Still showed me balance as 0.031 and not the transactions placed after. It could all be a big misunderstanding but like I say previous balance/transfers that show on a loaded wallet on mine isnt unusual,  whats unusual is this continued to stay and now added two transactions to the wallet. The first lot of coin has dissolved. Dont want to miss out on 300 usd. Was pretty sure it was my balance. Seeing as electrum dont offer help
Got to stay as balanced with the resolution I could admittedly be causing a fuss or could be loosing some dollar. Which ever one would like to clarify. Thanks for the help though

Hi

My problem is, I had loaded my wallet seen there was 0.03 btc, sent two additional transactions
One    of  0.02123
Other of  0.06943

After letting both confirm I was left with both transactions I had made that day but
My original balance has dissapeared.

This is the first time this strange thing has happened. I have used electrum for years
Would ideally like to have a word with someone as this is the first wallet im usingthat hasnt got contact
Details to talk.

They have a number but im outside of usa, or if anyone here could walk me through where it could of gone
Il be greatful but there was like 300 usd before starting sending transfers now there was
Only the two that had been sent ontop of it.. not the 300 usd nowhere to be seen
