Lost money from my Electrum wallet, need help?

[TryNinja]

R. I ran a check on my last sent BTC transaction on the link you gave me https://www.blockchain.com/explorer and it looks good or was sent. Got 199 confirmations, whatever that means, but sounds like a green light.

I haven't confirmed yet if the vendor got the BTC? But at least it was sent.

It's there. They have received and now it's up to them.

If they don't confirm it, send them a support ticket/email with the transaction ID and your order details.

It looks like it went through.

The window with “Sign, Save and Broadcast” only shows up if you click “Preview”. If you just click “Send”, it will be sent immediately.

I probably know what happened. Fees were high because of the mempool’s recent spike (due to Bitcoin’s price increase), so Electrum was recommending a fee that would leave you with an amount lower to what you were trying to send. You tried to send again and the mempool is empty again, so the fee was lower.

Yes I believe so, that's exactly what I did.

I got 199 confirmations when I checked the transaction number here.... https://www.blockchain.com/explorer.

Yeah, I have no clue what happened with that "Insufficient funds" thing??? Maybe I did something wrong, IDK?

Thanks.

I checked with the vendor, they got it, so all's good.

Want to thank all that contributed to this thread. I needed a bit more knowledge to better understand the BTC sending process.

For future reference what's the best place to buy BTC from to send money to vendors? Or is that a new thread?

I have in the past purchased from CoinMama, but they don't currently serve my state?

This last BTC purchase was with Xcoins. I think there rate is higher than other BTC services.

You can try on Services > Currency Exchange and wait of a Green Trust members (Users with Green +1~ below their names) to reply an offer.
The rates are quite good, mostly depending on the current price, they accept Paypay too.

As long as it's not another long discussion, I think it's fine;
