Need Help with Electrum Lite Coin Wallet

[mr.mister]

I have sent some LTC from Poloniex to my Electrum Lite Coin Wallet, but it's been over an hour, and nothing. showing 0 balance. Could this be because I just set up the wallet and it's downloading the entire blockchain before it will show my balance??

I thought it was a lite wallet and worked the same as the Bitcoin Electrum Wallet, but maybe not. Can someone please chime in.


When I click on the green dot, it shows connected to the network, and there is a message that says:


Blockchain: 118391 blocks

Getting Block headers from 8 nodes

server: electrum.ltx.xurious.com


Please advise.

Electrum Litecoin works the same way as Electrum Bitcoin. It does not download the blockchain. If the light is green, then Electrum is probably working.

Click on deposits/withdrawals in Poloniex, and scroll the bottom, then click on Deposit/withdrawal history. Sometimes Polo puts a hold on certain withdrawals for security reasons. If that's the case, then the hold is usually released at 12am.

If it shows they already sent it, then you can look the transaction up on a block explorer to see what is happening with it.

I don't get it the litecoin blockchain shows the proper balance for the address I sent to, however, my wallet, shows 0 balance. How could that be? I am starting to get really worried.

I am using the ltc electrum wallet for linux. You need to execute ./electrum-ltc script to run, anyhow, I was able to get it working and my balance shows in my wallet now. Not sure exactly what the problem was, but initially when I set up the wallet, I did nothing with it, then a few days ago, i recreated another wallet, with a wallet file called wallet_1. Anyhow I deleted the default wallet file and restarted the wallet and now the balance is showing. That scared me. I had $700 worth of LTC.


Thanks for the help guys.
