1  Economy / Web Wallets / Did it actually works this time? on: April 21, 2017, 03:40:47 AM
I am new to bitcoin this week. My first series of transactions began well and ended poorly. I had registered with a wallet I did not take the time to research and when I sent all of my purchased BTC there, it was gone forever.

Not one to give up, I tried again tonight, with a better wallet. I bought my coin successfully. I then used that coin to buy something. From round one I learned the basics of reading the transaction id information. Tonight after four confirmations my purchase was supposed to be complete. I was wary of this because the last time it was 6 confirmations and it got to 80 confirmations and one of the clues thst I was scammed was that the BTC I sent was indeed in the wallet I sent it to, but it had not been spent. Now tonight immediately after confirmation number four, it changed from unspent to spent. I don't want to get my hopes up and I already lost money and am afraid to look for the confirmation email I was told I would receive.


This is my transaction id:
1006e8dedba78a750096a2138d87d2076c7258c25ce7efb1ca8322c012f63c23

I sent roughly $92 USD in BTC, for .073.

The one guy was right, I think. I was scammed, for sure. I'll live and learn, but to be honest I feel like crying. Not for anyones' pity, I'm just having one of those months. My birthday is on Thursday so April is typically my favorite, but this was one thing too much. I was so careful to not slip up on anything else, I forgot to make sure the wallet was legit. My stupid move but the 350 I paid for that BTC was everything I had until I get paid again at the end of this month. I had always wanted to try trading currency but could not afford it and figured bitcoin was still a good place to start. I like it. Thank you all for your help and not just roasting me.

To HCP,

Whether or not you tried to explain that so I would have a much better idea how to read the TXID and find what I am looking for, you did. That was great, thank you. It has been in the back of my mind that I have been scammed, play with fire get burned you know.

Although the address you have highlighted there is the address to my hidden wallet, wallet. As a result of this mess I have already been looking for a more reputable source of wallets, but that one is mine as well. What are private keys?

I sent them to an online wallet, called hiddenwallet.

I bought my first bitcoins successfully. It has been in sending them to an outside wallet that nothing makes sense to me anymore.

I could use some help in reading the information on my transaction id. Any time taken to actually write out a thorough explanation on how to read them would not be wasted. I want to learn so I can solve these things on my own.

I am terribly sorry for never actually posting the transaction ID. And still I have nothing in the receiving account. Here is the transaction id, thanks.

What I know is that it was mined at 840 and that my outside wallet needed 6 confirmations, and to wash them, before I would see them in my balance. Six hours  and 22 confirmations later(I think) my balance is still 0. I checked dozens of times before I sent it and now again that my send to address was correct. The only step I rushed was the one about adding or increasing a miners. I did not even notice it as I clicked on through; could that be an issue? I bought 319 USD worth of bitcoins and sent all of it away, which I noticed pushed my paxful account slightly negative. How about that? If I just gave someone else all that bitcoin I'll live, I can learn. I just want to know some ideas of what could have happened.
