Hi,
I just did my first Bitcoin Withdrawl to my electrum wallet but seeming to have some issues.
The exchange says the transaction was completed more than 12 hours ago but my wallet shows nothing. I am always really confused with how the wallet behaves.
AT the time of installing the wallet, I set-up a password. The imstallation created no "start-up" entries or desktop icons etc and it only starts with the installer file and never asks me for the password. The wallet address shown on "receive" tab seems unchanged though and is the same as that shown on the exchange. I created the transaction on the "receive" tab before requesting the transfer, however once i restarted my laptop, the transaction was missing from there.
I wonder if I am installing and starting electrum correctly? and what are the steps I can take from here to track the ost bitcoin?
Thanks
You issue is not clear.. . Let me know if are you using a portable version of electrum? or you are downloaded the standalone or the windows installer..
Base on my experience before i experience it in the same thing i am using portable and the windows installer.
I notice when i was make transaction and after startup my computer i didn't seen any transaction..
Now i just check carefully and why my bitcoin was gone and also the transaction list.. so my problem is if you are using portable version the wallet.dat can be save in the same folder where your portable electrum located..
try this when you open your electrum wallet try to go in this path C:\Users\admin\AppData\Roaming\Electrum\wallets
Check if you wallet.dat there just choose any .dat in wallet folder and check if you transaction is there or not.. try the other one .
If you are still not seen your true wallet also go to the path or folder where your portable electrum is. .
you can see a electrum_data folder there inside you can found wallet folder and open it into electrum..
Let me know if this solve your problem .. for future reference thanks .
