I think you just have to wait for the first confirmation.
Could you share the tx id? If you don't know what it is, you can share the sending and receiving address and the amount and I will find it

Yes. You can see if the tx have enough commissions (they are showed as satoshi/kb, for fast tx you will need 300 or more (that's because the network is being spammed now), but every over 20/30 should be fine, although in this particular time very slow. If needed I can accelerate it.

Usually on exchanges you can see your deposit in wallet after 1 confirmation, but they cold be more. Don't know bittrex but you could have a "pending deposits" page too

The tx you sent my by PM seems ok, it already have 5 confirmation, you should be able to see your btc in wallet.

What was the receiving address?

Don't be feared to share tx and address here, just never give your private key to anybody, publicly or privately

receiving address was 17LG4EfEuPGWMsfBiBEgyBt6ejsj5fX8Ta

does the private key remains the same or we can change/generate a new one?

sry a very noob question, how do I find out my private key?

Money in this address are already spent, but there are tx with a lot of inputs and outputs so it could be ok, just the way exchanger manages money.

At this point, i suggest you to contact their support and include the tx.

Also, you can post the tx here so other users can help. As far as I can understand, it's all ok and you should see your money.

The real matter is that seems like none of this address is really yours, so you don't have any private key, that's because you are trusting third parties to store your money.

Localbitcoins and bittrex are trusted companies, but they control your money, not you. Try to avoid that as much as possible.

sorry, did not understood this, what does it mean? I should contact whom and for what? Sorry for too many questions because this is my first transaction.

I see it in bittrex wallet

well, I just did a very small transaction to see how this thing actually works. Now, I understand a little bit.
I bought from localbitcoins, transferred to bittrex, next I want to try how to buy other altcoins from BT and how to save it in paper wallet.

- So, if I don't have a private key, how can I store my BT or other altcoin to my paper wallet?
- BTW, the BT that I received on localbitcoins, I could not transfer the whole to my wallet @ bittrex. Is it normal? and they charged me a transaction fee as well?

Glad to hear it's all ok. If it wasn't, I was suggesting to contact bittrex support, because seemed to me that all was indeed ok.

I don't know how localbitcoins work, but the fee is ok, if you Send btc you need a fee, services usually charge a bit larger fees than needed.

If you want a paper wallet you can generate one at localbitcoins.org , use the site offline and on a trusted machine, print your keys and never share the private key. The public key is your address and you can share it to receive money.

To send your money you wold need a client, there are many "bitcoin wallet" that can import your private key and generate new addresses aswell.

With your private key you can also create the tx offline and later broadcast it to the network, more secure but more complicated
