you can't send lightning payments to a wallet that does not accept them. the receiver has to give you an invoice to pay to so you'll know if they can take it

whitelisting sounds like something exchanges do. electrum is not an exchange. however it does have an address book like feature called contacts. you can go to view menu > show contacts > switch to contacts tab and add new contacts via the right click menu. this makes it possible to save frequently used addresses. the downside is that it encourages address reuse and in some cases may lead to funds losses if you send to addresses no longer used by the recipient.

you should use file menu > open in electrum to open a wallet file and not muck about with the json code.
once the file has been opened you can use wallet > seed to get at the seed

yeah you confused mbtc with btc. that amount you sent is too small to be useful to anyone. no wonder the fees were so high compared to the output. you should change to btc via tools > preferences > general tab > base unit option.

post the addresses corresponding to the private keys. otherwise we don't know what happened. note that only 144 blocks are mined in a day so if you say 200+ confirmations then that's a > 1 day old transaction.

why are you using multiple wallet software and making life complicated for yourself? just use one and don't muck about with individual private keys

using multiple addresses does not result in higher fees when spending bitcoin.
there are many addresses because it makes it easy to track who sent you how much when you use a unique address per transaction. it also helps privacy wise.

you can create a segwit wallet on your mobile as well. just tap the hamburger icon in the top right > wallets > new. it's possible to have unlimited wallets each in their own file.

You'll only be able to proceed to the next step if you've got a positive checksum.[/li]
[li]In the page that you encounter next just click on "Detect Existing Account".
not really. electrum lets you proceed with an invalid bip39 seed. @OP do you see any transactions on the history tab after restoring as an old seed (not bip39)? if there are no transactions then it looks like the wallet was never used. Electrum has a specific formatting byte at the start of the seed which identifies its version. If the wallet doesn't contain anything, then I'm afraid it's probably empty. I'm not aware of any non BIP39 seed phrase with 12 word seed. Blockchain uses 16 words AFAIK.
note that old seeds don't have a checksum in them. electrum recognizes them from the words used. the dictionary is different for old seeds compared to new ones. the dictionary used for old electrum seeds is similar to the dictionary blockchain.info used for its password recovery phrase. unfortunately they took down the legacy wallet recovery page so I don't know how to test this theory. besides the login would be a long uuid rather than 5 letters. |

you won't lose your btc. what you're describing only happens during wallet restoration which you've already been warned about. don't worry just use that address.
|

Note that the replacing transaction needs to be confirmed as well. So, it's not that you cancel the transaction and make a new one to make the transaction faster. Canceling a transaction and making a new one can make the situation even worse. Because you would have to pay fee for two transactions instead of a single one.
only the last transaction confirms not the original one. you are basically doing a replace by fee and altering the output address to one in your wallet. you don't pay for two transactions either. |

If your computer is 100% clean, there should be no issue doing it. HOWEVER, and it's a big however, would you really risk your funds? Seeds should only be typed once; to recover a wallet and sweep it into another safe one; discarding said seed for security reasons.
There is no law prohibiting you from re-using a "burnt" seed, but same question again; would you really risk your funds over a slim chance of losing them?
Answering your last question; you can move funds on electrum without typing the seed again, you only need the wallet file and the password. If you don't have any or one of those, you'll have to type the seed to restore the wallet (and moving the funds out of there ASAP).
to create a new wallet you have to type the new seed in again. it's a part of the wallet creation process. so you can't get away from typing the seed in. |

So far you did not google search nor used any search engine, and enter the URL directly and correctly which is electrum.org in a safe computer, that should not be an issue. You can still decide to verify the signature, but I do not think you need to delete your wallet before doing that because the website is not compromised. But, making it just a norm in case for protection purposes in case the website is compromised, the verification will fail after original electrum wallet download file is changed to compromise ones on the website which will indicate the file to download is not the original but a fake/malacious one.
Is there any way to verify a download AFTER it has been installed and the programme is already up and running? But, making it just a norm in case for protection purposes in case the website is compromised, the verification will fail after original electrum wallet download file is changed to compromise ones on the website which will indicate the file to download is not the original but a fake/malacious one.
I am not sure what you mean here. Does anyone else have any opinions? Further question: are all the files in the Program Files (x86) folder (where I can see the Electrum folder) or can they be elsewhere? just look for the URL in your browser history. it should be download.electrum.org. if the URL checks out then the chances of malware are very low as for verifying the file after installation if you have the original download file you can download it's signature and verify it. it's listed next to the file : https://electrum.org/#download |

is there a reason why you are messing about with random private keys and addresses when you could create an HD wallet with unlimited addresses? a standard electrum wallet with seed is exactly that.

I was getting ready to do a consolidation transaction on Electrum from a Trezor One Hardware Wallet.
As procedure says, I selected coin control from the address in question, and proceeded to max it out into a new addy with a 1 sat/byte fee (no rush order). Much to my surprise, after signing the tx, and when trying to broadcast it; I got a "mempool min fee not met" error. Transaction size is not really big; smaller than 700 bytes, and I've transacted many times using the 1sat fee in the past.
Am I missing something here?
The electrum server you are connected has this pool of unconfirmed transactions that it knows about. There's limited space in that pool so it limits itself to the highest paying transactions. Your fee of 1 sat/byte is too low for your transaction to be included in that server's mempool. What you can do is either raise the fee or switch to a different server and then go to the history tab, right click on the transaction marked local > view transaction and click broadcast. |

you can set a custom fee as per this guide: https://bitcoinelectrum.com/how-to-manually-set-transaction-fees/I Do you not want to pay 7% in fees? If not then you can move the slider that should appear to within 5 blocks (an hour) or 25 blocks (5 hours).
Fee are not calculated in percentage (%) but in size and weight (Satoshi/vbyte). when the fee is unusually high as a percentage of the amount you wish to send electrum warns you about it so you don't end up spending more on fees than you want to. this warning is what the OP is talking about. |

rbf is on by default now. it doesn't hurt to broadcast a low fee transaction. you're just going to have to rebroadcast it periodically because the chances are high that it'll be ejected from nodes' mempools. it'll be marked as local in electrum history tab and you just right click on it , view transaction and click broadcast.
