I'm using Mac OSX. But I sorted it all out after much research. That Bitcoin is simply gone. I was misreading the addresses. Something happened and I wouldn't be able to figure it out. I am too busy with other things and do not follow all the updates and information like I should in order to be well versed on the BTC scene.

I found out that all hell was going to break loose with MyGox right about the time they went into lock-down. I lost another 7 BTC there. Now that I'm all cleaned out of BTC, I'm going to have to take a sideline interest in it only. Hope the techies can help get it all sorted out so that the rest of us laymen can trust the whole thing.

Thanks for your help. If I had any BTC left I'd tip you a bit for your help, but I don't, so I am unable to.

I have Electrum 1.9.8 now. And now I am having trouble getting connected. All other issues still in place and unsolved.

Thanks. I'm using Electrum 1.7.3. The color of the address is different. I'm color-blind so I don't know what color it is. I sent the BTC in question there myself from another wallet.

I'm using Electrum.

I don't get "freeze/unfreeze" when I do this. I get these options:

"copy to clipboard"
"QR code"
"edit label"
"private key"
"sign message"

My wallet shows a zero balance at lower left. It is encrypted. One of my addresses (there are only two, I don't use this wallet very often) still has a balance of one BTC. That one BTC should be the balance on this wallet.

Does this mean the address is frozen? If not what else could be going on?

Any help would be great.

A bit about me so you go easy on me: I am not a tech-type, I'm relatively new to BTC in use. Regardless of my slight ignorance in use of BTC I do understand quite a bit about BTC from an economic and monetary theory angle. I am someone who likes the technology quite a bit, but sees some of its pitfalls in really taking off in the fact that it is not as easy for some people, like me, to understand from a technical perspective. Not everyone is, nor cares to be, a total techie. I am one of them. I want this technology to take off. But being a people and relationship type, I think it has a long way to go. I say all of this because I'd appreciate any real assistance anyone might offer without some of the negative attitudes I've experienced in situations like this in the past.

Thank you.

Sorry, forgot that crucial detail: Electrum is the wallet I'm referring to. And I'm asking about an address being frozen, not the entire wallet.

Thanks again.
