As the title suggests, my brain hurts and I'm really at a loss here.
I'd be ever so grateful if someone could restore my faith in BTC and the blockchain.
So I'm reaching out to the hive mind...
So as a total noob Ive been trying to educate myself on bitcoin, the decentralised nature of the economy /ecosystem and the alternative to a capitalist economy system that serves only to enslave the lot of us.
So I finally took the leap of faith and purchased some bitcoin through localbitcoins in the UK .
Awesome , I thought.
The transaction took literally 5 minutes and I felt quite smart.
Then I tried to transfer that amount of BTC out of the localbitcoins wallet ( as unwanted it in a secure wallet , not an exchange or escrow ) and sent to my receive address of my brand new coinomi wallet.
So I wait and I wait and nothing ....
Zilch , nada , sweet f.a . ...
So then I read about the delays on the network and eventually found this forum...
I've read the "pending transactions" thread on here but still can't understand what I am to do to at least have the reassurance that my transaction will be processed...
First : localbitcoins doesn't show a transaction I.d. (tx)?
So i don't even have a tx number to send to the miners in order to bribe them to get my transaction done quicker...
Just has my details and the fact that I purchased the btc and then sent it to my coinomi wallet :

2nd: Ive checked the blockchain with my receiving address but is not showing pending or anything , it just says no transaction has been made from or to that wallet?
??
Have I just mucked up or something?
Is this just a "wait and see" scenario or is there something I can do ?or even pay someone to Do?
Am I missing something here?
Am a total noob and I was so excited about entering this alternative economy and philosophy but it's really disheartening for a total beginner to come upon hurdle after hurdle and then be left in the dark ...
I'm starting to wonder if it was such a good idea after all...
Can anyone please help me or at least guide me in what l can do if all I got is the receive address ?
Thank you very much in advance
