I am completely new to everything bitcoin related. I am using Electrum 2.2.
To receive bitcoins from a poker site, I created an address using the Bitcoin Core wallet.
When I realized that synchronizing takes forever, I downloaded Electrum and used the address from Bitcoin Core
to create my first Electrum wallet.
...

In order to spend bitcoins from an address, you need the private key. Only your Bitcoin Core wallet has the private key to the address you are using. You can acquire the private key from Bitcoin Core and import it into your Electrum wallet.

Start Bitcoin Core, go to the debug console, and use the "dumpprivkey" command to print out the private key. Then go to Electrum and import that private key. I don't know the details, but you can probably figure them out.

Sir, you just made my day!
I created a new wallet in Electrum and selected "restore or import keys", pasted the key I got from Core and it worked perfectly!
Thank you so much, I was close to giving up Smiley

The only thing I have is this watch-only wallet in Electrum called "default_wallet".
There is one address in it, which is the address I created as a new receiving address in Bitcoin Core.
This address has all my Bitcoins on it.
I have no cold storage or paper wallet or anything. All I have is this default
-wallet.

Hi!
I am completely new to everything bitcoin related. I am using Electrum 2.2.
To receive bitcoins from a poker site, I created an address using the Bitcoin Core wallet.
When I realized that synchronizing takes forever, I downloaded Electrum and used the address from Bitcoin Core
to create my first Electrum wallet.
Everything worked and I received my poker money a few hours later.
Now I want to deposit those coins to my Neteller account.
But appearently the wallet I created in Electrum is a watching only wallet.
I don't know how to sign/verify my payments so when I try to pay to Neteller, the invoice just expires and nothing happens.
How do I get my coins to a wallet that I can make payments with? Or can I make payments with a watch only wallet?

Thanks in advance,
seiesos
