1  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: New Electrum user - deposit sitting on blockchain, won't go to wallet? on: November 16, 2015, 06:24:39 PM

Is Electrum connected? Check right bottom, is there a green dot? Maybe Electrum is not 100% up to date?

If there is not a Green dot check the connection. Go to Tools-->Network and check if Auto-connect is checked.

Yes, green dot and auto-connect already checked.




Then it wouldn't make a lot of sense , if RustyNomad suggestion above don't work you either .
You can try to Unistall Electrum (deleting electrum's AppData folder as-well) and Install it once again , if that don 't work , try to use it on another PC (restore it on another PC using the seed you had as a backup when you first made the wallet) .

So as long as I have my seed I won't lose anything, correct? I've never done that so it makes me nervous.

Not sure what happened just now, got a double post in one post.

Was saying, if Electrum is up to date and the address is in your wallet then maybe all that will work is what OmegaStarScream suggests above.

And yes, all you need is your wallet's seed. With that you can restore your wallet at anytime. You do not need anything else, just those seed words. So always keep a copy written down somewhere and keep it in a very safe place. Anybody who gets hold of that will also be able to restore your wallet and have full access to it.


I edited the post to have them both since I don't know if I can respond before 5 minutes yet.


Thank you so much guys, restoring worked and I didn't have to reinstall the app, just deleted the data as per this document:

Again, thank you both so much!

Operating system (and its version) + the version of Electrum wallet used ? (also give the information's that RustyNomad asked)

I didn't know if that was safe or not.

Mac 10.8.5, Electrum 2.5.4

Address : 1JQaKnNi6R6B75e3RWPBtqAbiEgCr5ByJM
TxID : deb41861d7c1e6b898fea97c990b3b4cda002ccbe9a66904bc7f7ad1d68a238

Thank you!

The transaction already has 20 confirmation so it should have shown up in your wallet long ago. You sure the address is 100% correct i.e. the address you posted above, is it in your wallet? If so then the funds should be there.

I can only post once every 5 doggone minutes. :-(

I know it should have, I'm new to Electrum but I've been transferring btc for a year and it seemed pretty straightforward.

I absolutely see 1JQaKnNi6R6B75e3RWPBtqAbiEgCr5ByJM as the 2nd of about 15 default receiving addresses listed in my Electrum default wallet above the Change addresses.

I created a default wallet and deposited a small amount to the receive address, (first one in the initial set provided) and it arrived in my wallet, shows up in my history etc...perfect.

I then sent more btc to the second address in my pool and it shows on the block chain but it won't automatically enter my wallet like the first one did.

I'm trying to figure out why but I'm stumped and the user documentation I've been able to find doesn't help. What am I missing please?
