Hi, I just started to use bitcoin a few days ago and seems I dont understand how to use it. I receive a few bitcoins into my electrum wallet and for understand how I restore a wallet I delete the entire folder for my wallet and start again. So I open again the electrum wallet enter my seed and a new password and then my wallet was "restored" but the problem is my transactions are unverified. First time I was thinking i have to wait some time to sync my wallet again but it's already pass 10h and my transaction are still unverified(my trasaction I mean my bitcoins recivied). Also I try to send 0.00001 to my exchange site and seems don't allow me to do that(probably because my bitcoins are unverified). What i have to do to make my transasctions verified ?

I suggest you start by posting your public bitcoin address so it would be possible to analyze what the problem is.

Yes, exactly. The address where you "receive a few bitcoins".

OP has send me the address by PM.
Nothing unusual here.

Also I try to send 0.00001 to my exchange site and seems don't allow me to do that(probably because my bitcoins are unverified). What i have to do to make my transasctions verified ?

Electrum will perfectly allow you to spend unconfirmed coins.

It looks like an problem with Electrum verification.

Someone here had a simular problem:

Look here, at elecrum help page:

After restoring your wallet, Electrum may list previous transactions as unverified. This problem disappears after restarting the program.

I tried another way to restore, I saved a dat file and restore it with open. In this way i got my transactions verified in 1 minute but I can't still send bitcoins, I got a error with code: -26. What this means?

Good to hear that you solve the problem.
I am happy that I was able to help.


By the way, in this case did you send me your public address by PM.
There is no risk in publiching your public address. Nobody can steal from, even if they know you public addres. Only passwords, private keys and seeds should be kept secret.

If there is no more questions, then should you lock the topic.

Bottom left corner will you find "Lock topic", press that one and then is the topic locked.
You can always unlock if you get a new problem.
