Well, the address on the receiving tab should belong to you, so how I read your story now, I assume that you have sent coins to yourself.

But that address isn't shown in the list and neither is it shown when I open the receiving tab again ... also, it is already confirmed and the amout value of that transaction equals 0

View -> Show Addresses. Go to the Addresses tab and you will see every single one of your addresses.

Anyways, all your addresses in the wallet are valid forever. It doesn't matter if they are showing in the Receive tab or not.

There's nothing like View -> Show Addresses on my version of electrum.

There's nothing like View -> Show Addresses on my version of electrum.

What electrum wallet you are using?
Is it your device is mobile or desktop PC?
If you are using electrum for mobile the guide above won't work because it's for desktop electrum wallet.

You can find your address on mobile by clicking receive> touch the bitcoin address> then touch blue button until become "all".
It must be shows all of your addresses.

What version of electrum are you using? You should update to the latest version. If that doesn't fix the problem switch servers. "not verified" means electrum is uncertain of the status of the transaction possibly because the version you have is too old or the server its connected to is problematic. More about transaction status messages here.

I haven't uploaded in a long time, seems like the problem may be in there ... I haven't uploaded since version 2.7.9

That's definitely your problem. The older versions (v2.x) of Electrum are not able to communicate with the Electrum servers properly anymore and most likely won't sync properly, resulting in "not verified" transactions.

Update to the latest version (v3.1.3) from here: https://electrum.org/#download and you'll find that your transaction magically fixes itself.


NOTE: to see the "Addresses" tab in your version... try using "Ctrl+A"

Thanks guys, it's working properly now.

Better to lock this thread so that it wont receive further more replies since the issue had been resolved already.
Suppose to advise about downloading up the latest version of the wallet for that transaction would be synced up the link is given above.
