Yes, seems you are correct that I was seeing a donation address.

So I figured out that I hadn't converted my US dollars to bitcoins.  It seems likely that is required to transfer to a "bitcoin" wallet.  I converted and am trying to process a transaction.

The new transaction has been pending for ~30 minutes with no evidence of anything happening.
I'm wondering if these things may be factors:
1) I uploaded a drivers license to circle but they seem to have not completed my verifications process
2) I did not click the enable "Dynamic fees" button on electrum.  I'm wondering if it didn't take a fee because I did not select this.  I have V. 2.6.4

Please let me know if I'm missing something here.

So I just started a new one, after emailing circle they simple told me my last one could not be processed....

Here is the receiving address that was under my electrum console.  I used this address at Circle to send it.

My Default address under "CONSOLE" at electrum is much different.  Do I need to change my default console address?  Or is this unrelated to my receiving addreess?

I will email circle now.  
In my circle profile I have $50.00 available.  I have sent 49.78 to electrum.
-Is it possible that with the mining fee I went over my available balance?
 The transaction is marked pending as of 1 hour and 20 minutes ago according to circle.

That link has the address that both circle is showing and electrum si showing as my receiving address.

I also had literally made my circle account 5 minutes prior to sending the transaction if that has any bearing on this.

First bitcoin experience.  Attempted Circle to Electrum transfer.

Its been an hour and I have no idea if this is progressing.  Thought this was supposed to go through fairly quickly. 
-I used the default 0.5 mBTC/kb fee.   
-I specified the same transfer amount from circle and receiving amount on electrum without taking into acct. the fee
-There is currently a "pending" sign for the transfer with a blue arrow circling it.
-The blockchain doesn't provide any info I can understand or that seems to indicate processing.

Is this normal?  Did I mess something up?

Thanks guys.
