ok so sorry for the dumb question about the unconfirmed it went through and everything is fine for the small test.

The problem im having and what i dont understand is.. i transferred 0.56 from local bitcoin to bitcoreQT wallet but i had 4 years sync left. so what i did was sweep it with the private key to send it from my QT wallet to electrum so i wouldnt have to wait for the sync to use the money. Problem is i have no idea if it worked or whats going on with the 325$ i sent and i hope i didnt lose it!!

please help, thanks

Hi, Im a Newbee when it comes to bitcoin and in need of some serious help. I transferred 0.56 bitcoin into my bitcoinQT but there was a 4 year sync currently pending. So i followed a step by step online from reddit.com how to sweep and transfer to electrum which i did and it says pending for quite some time now, so i did a test and sent 0.02 to my electrum from localbitcoins and it showed up paid right away but says unconfirmed??        I dont understand why its unconfirmed and why the 0.52 from QT to electrum its taking so long?
