thanks a lot,

So my private keys can be imported into any wallet and it would recover my bitcoins?

final (possibly stupid ) question...what's to stop the developer of a wallet stealing them?

just being paranoid but i would like disaster situations

ah ok so its the private keys that make the bitcoin uniquely mine?

So lets say electrum disappeared (unlikely but who knows) as long as i have my private keys i could access them?

How would i go about doing that?

thanks

hi there,

I have a complete newbie question that i am struggling to understand. basically i am using electrum as a wallet at the moment and may use some other options.

My question is , if for whatever reason the wallet provider disappears/shuts down etc how do i locate my bitcoins?

What is it that makes the bitcoins unqiue to me and would allow me and me only to access them and withdraw/send them

thanks

thanks a lot!

hi,

I have another newb questions. Basically i have withdrawn bitcoins to address that i have previously used before in electrum.

The thing is electrum has lots of different receiving addresses.

Am i ok to have used the same received address?

I assume the coins will have to show up there.

thanks

Coins have been received

thanks for all your help

fingers crossed  

Can you tell me if i did the right process though. there is nothing more in electrum i would need to do?

If i right click on the recieveing address , there is an option to 'request payment' i didn't know if i needed to do that as well to make sure it got sent to it.

Total newb questions i know but there are quite a few bitcoins so important to get it right

thanks

ah yes i see that now thanks

But i can see that is has 0 transaction.

Although i note that coinfloor say they process 3 times per day..so many just need to wait

if i gave the address to coinfloor then i assume it has to end up in the account anyway?

hi,

can seem to find where i find the txid number from.

Please can you let me know what tab it would be under

thanks

hi,

I am new to using electrum and need some guidance.

I have sent some money from coinfloor to my electrum wallet. Coinfloor just asked for an address to send the bitcoins.

I got the address from electrum , by going to the receive tab and saved the transaction. I set request expries 'never'

Do i need to do anything else? The request is 'pending' - maybe means coinfloor hasn't sent the money yet.

I'm worried i have not done something right?

thanks for your help
