NEED HELP electrum

[Vladimir18]

I tried to receive money to my bitcoin adress, copied the right adress but after sending it, my stupid ass pressed new and the btc adress changed. Is my money now lost? Or is there some way to get it back. I mean probably another dude from electrum got it now right?

If I understood right, after sending money to your Electrum address, you've noticed that the receiving address has changed? If that's the case then that should be normal behavior as you have multiple addresses on the wallet, and electrum is supposed to give you a new one with each new payment request.

Just to confirm that you haven't sent the funds to the wrong address, go to Blockchain.com and search for your receiving address, If you see that the money is there, go back to your Electrum and type this on the console:

Code:

ismine('paste_your_address_here')

If the command above return true, then you sent to the correct address and you should also be able to see something in your transactions history and your overall balance on the bottom of the wallet.

You can view your all addresses in Addresses tab.
If Addresses tab is hidden click View -> Show Addresses.

I am using the old version (2.8.3) and I think I have overwritten my btc receiving adress by pressing on new. Because in my requests list is written down a different btc adress than the one I've sent it to.

Mh so I probably need to update my electrum wallet. After I typed in the command it said true. But how should I send it to the new adress if the transacted bitcoins aren't listed on my account

It's a security enhancement. Addresses change in order to improve your privacy. You can re-use them as you want but it is not recommended.

Your wallet might not be able to synchronise with the network due to bugs which have been already patched. Update Electrum and try again.

Yeah it was because of the old version. The old one couldn't connect to a server properly. Thank you for your help!
