Incorrect Balance

[makkie]

Hello Community Members,

I am currently using Electrum to store my coins and recently spent a small percentage, I have noticed that the balance that is displayed on Electrum is incorrect. How do I rectify this? It's missing £516.51 on time of posting. I have also noticed that the value of 1 BTC isn't updated periodically. Any advice would be highly appreciated.

Thank you,
makkie

How much did you spent, and did you check where the rest of the bitcoin went?
(As bitcoin spents all the bitcoin available on an adress when an output is made, say there's 5BTC on the adress, and you "sent" 4BTC, 5BTC will be spent, and 1BTC will be returned to a change adress.)

I could help you if you either PM or post the transaction you made.

Did you maybe set up a change adress of which you do not control the private keys / or isn't listed in your wallet?

Thanks for your reply. I've sent you a PM.

Anyone else have any ideas please?

I may just transfer to bitcoin core (downloaded it this morning and it's up to date with the network) - could someone possibly shed some light as to how I'd transfer the wallet / coins without fees?

Thanks

Honestly, without being able to see all your addresses/transactionIDs, it's very difficult to say why your balance is not showing up correctly. It could be that your wallet isn't synced properly, it could be that the balance IS correct but you mistakenly think you should have more.

It could also be that you've selected "show history rates" in (Tools -> Preferences -> Fiat) menu... this will show the value of transactions based on the BTC to $ rate at the time/date that the transaction occurred... not current rate.
