1  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: strange issue with electrum wallet on: April 08, 2019, 01:38:28 PM
Strange as to how someone can take funds out of one address in wallet and others he could not. I can't seem to find explanation for it.

The funds are not in the wallet. The wallet is only a tool. The coins are only on the blockchain.
Whoever has the private key can spend the coins. No need for your wallet for that.


I understand that fully also. But why only one address. What about the other addresses why they still intact.. As private key is for all addresses and not just one address.

I know electrum is under DDoS attack. But my issue is how come one address was wiped clean and not  others? I have checked all addresses on blockchain and so far their have funds in them. Just one has missing.

Maybe I'm wrong, but since Electrum relies on its servers to get your updated info, I'd guess that it managed to get correct info when ran from one device and didn't get the info on the other device.
Since I don't know which of the two is correct, I'd get the "culprit" addresses and check them on a block explorer, like https://chain.so/address/BTC/whatever_your_address_is

On both devices it is not syncing. So I did find out about missing coins from that address via blockchain explorer. Since on both devices it is not syncing so balances are before this issue happened but when checked on blockchain one address has been wiped clean. This is a bit perturbing. Strange as to how someone can take funds out of one address in wallet and others he could not. I can't seem to find explanation for it.

I fail to understand how that can happen.

Electrum servers are under heavy DDoS attack, so most probably your clients couldn't connect to a working server.
You better check your funds for now at a block explorer, where you only need your address.

I had a previous version of electrum and did a transaction. Same wallet is installed on two devices. Now the wallet dose not sync plus one of the addresses is empty( ON both devices it is not syncing).  When i check all addresses in the blockchain they have their required balances but one address has been cleaned out. And no I did not download from a suspicious site a new electrum wallet. But Did so from the official website. And If I had downloaded from a suspicious site my wallet would have been empty now. But ONLY one address has been cleaned out. I fail to understand how that can happen.
