I apologize if this has already been discussed
I'm very new to cryptos and today i bought $150 worth of bitcoins on coinbase. I sent it to shapeshifter which converted it to vertcoins and put the receiving as one of the addresses in my electrum wallet.
The problem is it's the bitcoin electrum as i didn't know there was a specific one for vertcoins. The transaction was completed on shapeshifter but my wallet still says 0 on electrum.
Did you use the real website
https://shapeshift.io/ or a fake "shapeshifter"?
Vertcoins can't be sent to a Bitcoin address, you'll get this error:
shapeshift.io says:
There was an error creating your order, please try again in a few minutes.
If you used a fake website, your coins are gone. If you used the real website, it shouldn't have gone through. Please clarify.
