Receiver adress changed- Money lost?

[Squrrel16]

Hello,

Last night I copied the receiver address from my wallet and entered it into a coinmixxer with a few hours delay
After the confirmations, I saw this morning that my wallet address has changed the coins were sent to the orginaly typed address but I have a very different receiving address now in the wallet and the money is not there.

What is wrong lol?

Usually when a receive address is used, Electrum will give you next time another address. It's ok and it's for your privacy. All those addresses are (or should be!) yours.
In the menu go to View->Show Addresses. They should be visible there. You can also go to Wallet->Find and search for those addresses.

Short answer: Nothing.


Long answer:
As NeuroticFish has mentioned, electrum generates a new receiving address for you each time the previous one has received a transaction.
This is done for privacy reasons.

A wallet (in your case: electrum) is a software which manages your private-/public- keypairs.
It can create an 'unlimited' amount of addresses for you. It is - for privacy reasons - recommended to use a new address for each transaction.

When spending coins, electrum will simply take the unspent transaction outputs from multiple addresses of you and combine them.

An address is not an identifier of your wallet. Your wallet manages your addresses. So you don't have to worry at all.
