Can I delete an Electrum Wallet

[pinkpajama99]

I have no idea what is up with coinbase. It gives you a pop up window but I haven't found the tx ID.

As for electrum, because of the version I have, it does not let me right click and see the ID, (read up) and even though I install the newest version it keeps me at the old one.

I'm afraid to remove the app and try again since I'm not comfortoable getting into the code to fix it.

Read up with whta Nolloh and I talked about.  If someone can show me where to get the tx ID while I wait for funds please let me know.  I'd post a pic but don't know now to attach it.

Anyway, as I said, you need to make sure you are on the "History" tab... it sounds like you are looking at transactions on the "Receive" tab...



These are NOT actually transactions in the mempool awaiting confirmation, effectively they allow you to generate an "invoice" and send it to someone so they can pay you. To see all your actual pending transactions, you need to click on the "History" tab:



Your "pending" transaction should show in this list... NOTE: it won't have a green tick... it will most likely have a little yellow triangle next to it... In any case, you should be able to right click and select "details":



And you should get a window showing all the important details of your transaction... including the transaction ID at the top



You can also select the "view on block explorer" option and it should open up your transaction on whatever block explorer you can configured in "Tools" -> "Preferences" -> "Appearance":

Wow thanks.   I'll experiment when I have some working brain cells.   Just seems odd to me that Coinbase doesn't let me see the tx id.  I mean that's where it's created.

Oh, I totally agree with you. That is pretty crap to be honest... From what I can gather, you SHOULD be able to find it once you click on the transaction from your list of transactions, it should show a "0 confirmations" link in blue... clicking on that should show you the actual transaction details (possibly on a block explorer?)... and you should be able to get TXID


It seems like Coinbase has some issues.  There is a user in another thread where Coinbase are completely misrepresenting the amount of bitcoins transacted/used as a fee... like, the value they claim was taken is less than half of what actually got taken and I can't figure out how it was calculated as it doesn't match the inputs or outputs of the transaction.

I would hope it is just a minor UI glitch... but...

I think there is a bug cuz when there are no confirmations I got nothing when I clicked on the blue link.  Nothing opened up. Maybe it's a safari thing.  Now I got 489 confirmations.  When I click on that it takes me to BlockR and Hash which I'm assuming is the Tx id.

CB has said they are having problems with a few things and their CS is soo freaking slow.   I think I'm just gonna keep some money there in case electrum decides to have problems.

I had one problem with them which they fixed right away, having to do with my vault.  It asks for an online ID when it should be a second email to confirm removing money from the vault.  I accidentally put money in it but was able to add a 2nd email and confirm so whew.

Anyway. now where to spend my btc.

Correct, the "hash" is indeed the TXID.

Fair enough... I learned a long time ago the value of "If you don't control the private keys, you don't control the coins"... I don't trust web wallets and exchanges. I will use exchanges, but it is basically money in, money out... nothing stays in accounts that I don't have singular control over for any longer than absolutely necessary

You can always spend your BTC at 1sendMeAllYourCoinzhahaJustJoking

If you're in the US, eGifter.com lets you buy a whole array of giftcards with bitcoins... I've bought some Amazon gift cards from them

I'm so clueless I don't know what a private key is.  I'm lucky I figured this out.   Just after the mess up with multibit which held my money for over a week because the blockchain was jammed up and got no response ever fron their CS I want to keep a bit available.

Good suggestions for where to spend. I just bought something from someone I hadn't used yet.  Once I get that I'll buy more but I'm conservative with my spending.   Save it for something really good.

I know there is an exchange that is offshore, but can't remember the name.    I'm wondering when the IRS is gonna get on top of this.

Thanks for all the help.  I bookmarked this cuz I won't remember anything.  Forgive me when I come back and ask the same questions in a month.  Lol.
