electrum received transaction with 0BTC instead of 0.275

[HCP]

As coding enthusiast has pointed out... there was a bug reported here: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/3788
It has been fixed and merged here: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/pull/3794

The next release should cure this issue. Seems the parsing of "Non MultiSig" SegWit P2SH transactions was broken.

If you are super desperate for the fix, you could probably clone the current Electrum repo and run from source.

Yeah sorry. I found the tx is this: b18a38be693a5dca1aae2326351cb80c3ca64616559f0c4c5c9b6d2d8841d9cb

But was still wondering how it could be imported. I got the hash, but when I tried importing it, electrum crashed and hasn't come back since .

Looks like there's some sort of server issue with the new release as it has crashed v2.9.8 and v3.0.5.

if this is not your wallet you can't just import the transaction in the wallet, there is no option for that. if you want to test it, you need to import the receiving address in a new wallet.

and the problem is not with the server, it is with the wallet itself. it receives a transaction ID which you posted here, and saves it. then it also receives the same transaction in raw format but before saving it, the wallet has to verify this transction by parsing it. but it fails there so it can not save the raw transaction hex (in blockchain.info add ?format=hex and you see it) in your wallet. so it shows the amount received as 0 and also gets stuck in synchronizing.

this should fix it: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/pull/3794
if you know how, clone the repository and build a new version based on the latest commits. some helpful link for windows
if you don't wait for them to make a new release which shouldn't take long.

When will the next release come? Are we talking about days, weeks?

Honestly, no idea... your best bet is to go onto the #Electrum IRC channel on Freenode and ask there: https://webchat.freenode.net/

Or try asking on the Electrum github, as only the devs really know when the next release is coming.

have the same issue on Mac electrum v.3.0.5
have a Zero-value transaction listed and the electrum got frozen. when I double-click on the transaction, the program crashes so I can't even know the TX to check it on the blockchain.

Get your address and the amount you should've received and we can trace the TX from the blockchain. Can't do very much from there.



Onto what someone said about my post, it looks like it doesn't understand the hash as if it'd imported successfully, even if it was the wrong wallet it'd still import it with a message along the lines of "transaction not related to wallet addresses".

Electrum 3.0.6 was just released - it solves this issue
