Hi, All,
I have a cold storage Electrum wallet and for several days I tried to move my BTC to one of its addresses from my Coinbase exchange account. Coinbase calls them invalid addresses.
The latest one I tried to use is: 1F99d7sV8FChKADUkNETMtqQyYkf43vKH7
It is a bitkey Electrum offline wallet on 2 USB sticks. In the past the transfers used to work fine. Currently I am using the USB sticks on a different laptop. Should this be causing the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Smiley

That's not a valid address. Are you sure that you aren't missing anything? I also have a Bitkey setup and all of my addresses are valid.

Can you try to go to the Addresses tab (View -> Show Addresses), right click a random address, select "Copy Address" and try moving your coins to it?

Hi, TryNinja, Thank you for your reply. I created a new wallet with new addresses and now the transfer from Coinbase is stuck in 'pending' mode. The Electrum address seems to be valid: 1AMpKXkRsYvmfED1gkckj488gmSyFLbmnc

Coinbase usually deducts a fee first, but this time it got into the 'Sent' file without a fee, so I just sent more funds to cover it.  This transaction has been sitting in 'pending' for 10 days.

When I am checking on the blockchain there is no transaction id. Not sure if Coinbase is holding it or it is not moving because there is no fee included. Do you think it will end up back in my Coinbase wallet?  Or maybe an Electrum wallet is too suspicious to them? Undecided

Looks like that's a Coinbase issue. Have you tried to contact them?

I don't think this has anything to do with your wallet being suspicious or something like this. And since there is no transactions incoming to your address, Coinbase hasn't even sent your coins yet. Which means that the transaction is "pending" in their system and not in the Bitcoin blockchain.

Send them a ticket here: https://support.coinbase.com/customer/portal/emails/new
