Issue with Bither for iOS

[wes88]

Hello: I am fairly new to bitcoin. I downloaded Bither for iOS and set up a wallet. Then I sent my wallet code to someone so they could send me BTC that I had purchased from them. They sent the BTC to my wallet code I got from Bither, and showed me proof on the blockchain, but my balance in Bither is showing as 0.

Any thoughts on what is going on? Bither is listed as a trusted app on Bitcoin.org so I assumed sending someone my wallet code would be straightforward. I can provide a screenshots and other documentation if needed.

Thank you.

Post a screenshot of your wallet (that shows the address) and the transaction id.

(I don't know how to insert an image so that is a link to the screenshot of the wallet)

Here are details:

Summary
Address   1CXdmXbGue2UK5fuCBAdwZYjdBb9tfRxuk
Hash 160   7e748dfb69746782ef7f802697cc6e2edb8a272b
Transactions
No. Transactions   1   

Does that give you what you need?

Is this the transaction you made?

Amount: 1.76183023 BTC

Looks like Bither didn't catch up your transaction for some reason.
Try reloading/refreshing the blockchain. I know there is an option like this in the Settings (I've used Bither many years ago, so I can't remember exactly where it is).

That worked, thank you!!!

 

For anyone referencing this thread, here is what i did:

Settings>Advanced Options>"Reload Transactions Data">"OK"

Any thoughts on the best iOS BTC wallet? Bither seems a little bit wonky and the GUI looks and feels a bit dated

[TryNinja]

Glad to hear that.

I believe Green Wallet is the best one[1] (IMO).

Other than that, I like BRD's[1] slick design. The big downside is that they don't allow custom fees, so sometimes you may end up paying fees more than you should.

I'm glad that it's working now.

Which bither wallet you are using is it a hot or cold wallet?

I'm just confused because I saw a video on youtube and it looks like it needs to devices the one is for offline(holds private keys) and another device is for watch only wallet.

You can do that. Or you can just use the hot wallet (which he's using and I've used many years ago).

Sorry for the late. Because our team members are in China, and you know the GFW, we does not check bitcointalk forum often.

We just release a new version v1.8.6, and it has tuning the performance of importing private keys and reload transaction data.

Another advice： the Bitpie Wallet (bitpie.com) is a multi-chain wallet developed by us following bither, which is easier to use,  so we strongly recommend you to use Bitpie instead of Bither.
