Yes its Synched I believe.
How do I check blockchain explorer.
It has only been 10 minutes.
But did I do the right thing. I went to File on my Flo Wallet and Clicked on Receiving Address then created a "new address" gave it a label
and then I used that on Bittrex to send.
Is there a way I can check where they are ?
Can you give me step by step instructions is it possible ?
Copy your receiving address from the wallet. Go to the "block explorer" for FLO at
https://florincoin.info/ --- paste the address, does it show the transaction as being received to your address? If so, the coins are there, guaranteed.
Possible snags if you still don't see coins in the wallet:
- Your wallet may not be fully sync'd. Look in the bottom right corner for a little icon and mouse over it, does it say it is behind or caught up? If your wallet is still syncing you will need to wait for it to catch up to see the coins, but rest assured they are safe at the address if it shows on the explorer, and they will show up when the wallet fully syncs. Also, FYI, if it says "1 year behind" or something like that, it won't take a year to sync so don't freak out! That means it has only downloaded FLO's blockchain history up until some date a year ago, and that "behind" number will keep getting smaller as the wallet downloads the blockchain history for FLO and catches up. If you weren't aware, these wallets actually download the entire history of every transaction that has ever happened - you will have a full copy of FLO's entire blockchain on your computer when the sync is finished. This is part of how blockchains work in general btw, this is part of the secret sauce and why it is called "decentralized" - all the nodes have copies of the full history, so the network can easily prevent people from cheating/compromising the integrity of transactions.
You can hack a company's database because it only exists in one or a couple places - blockchains are essentially immutable/unhackable databases precisely because everybody gets a copy.
or
- You potentially goofed up the address. Double check and make sure the address you sent to from BitTrex is exactly the same as your wallet's -- copy/paste from both the wallet and Trex into the block explorer, linked above, and see if they both pull up the same info. To prevent this human fuckup from really screwing me over I personally, when using a new address or a new wallet, I always do test transactions. So if I wanted to send 10,000 FLO from Trex to a new wallet, I'd send 10 or 100 first - whatever small amount Trex will let me do (they have minimums). I make sure that 100 FLO gets to the wallet, make sure everything is good, then I send the other 9900. When your wallet is fully sync'd and Trex processes a withdrawal for you, you will actually see transactions show up near-instantly as "unconfirmed transaction" in the wallet. As "unconfirmed" you will be able to see them but not spend/move them and they will become confirmed over time (this relates to how the blockchain nodes verify transactions - the "consensus protocol" if you want to get technical - a conversation for another day).
