Icons meaning

[PrivacyManiac]

Hi,

When in Electrum, depending on which one of my nodes I use (both with Electrum Personal Servers) to access my Hardware Wallet, I see different icons in the history tab for the same unconfirmed UTXO:  either 3 grey gears or a something that looks like a small blue computer.
Any thoughts on what the difference of meaning is ?  Could it be that one of them (blue computer) is confirmed in the mempool next to be processed or something like that ?

Thanks

"Small blue computer" might be a local transaction, means that it's not yet broadcast to the network (just saved in your client).
You need to broadcast it (Open details->click broadcast) in order to proceed.

"3-gray gears" are unconfirmed transaction(s).

The other icon that you might want to know as well is the "! inside a yellow triangle", it means that the transaction where the inputs came from wasn't confirmed as well.
it's basically a Child-Pay-For-Parent transaction.

I am sure that the " 3 grey cogs" indicates that your transaction is still unconfirmed, meaning it has not been added to the blockchain yet.

A red clock indicates the numbers of confirmation of your transaction in the blockchain which will eventually turn into green tick if it reaches 6 confirmations.

I still didn't encounter the "blue screen computer" icon, probably it has something with your transaction that is not broadcasted in the network.

Thanks all.  It is the same transaction but showing differently depending on which node I use.
For a few hours both had the 3 gears icon and then when connecting with one node was showing 3 gears and when connecting with my other node was showing a blue computer icon.

Not sure why but it did indeed seems to be a "broadcasting" difference as I double click on the transaction and the broadcast button was available when connected on the node showing the blue computer icon and wasn't available when connected on the node showing 3 gears.  I pressed broadcast and the icon changed to the 3 gears.
How can a receiving transaction show as not broadcasted ?

How can a receiving transaction show as not broadcasted ?

Receiving.... hmm.
When your client is offline then you've imported a transaction (Tools->Load transaction) that belongs to the wallet, then clicked save.
"Save" will only be available if you have the keys for either one of the input(s) or output(s).

IDK if there are other ways to receive a local transaction.

3-gray gears icon ----> unconfirmed transaction
blue icon^[1] ----> you are connecting through a proxy
The reason for the unconfirmed transactions is that you have contacted using the proxy and made wrong settings.
The reason for the blue icon to blue when you changed the server is because you have enabled the proxy.

Check your proxy settings or turn off and the problem will be solved.

Thanks.  Sorry, I don't mean the blue circle network status, I really meant something that looks like a small blue computer icon on the left of the UTXO, instead of the 3 gray gears.  I wish I'd be able to paste the picture here but sounds like I can't since I'm still at the "newbie" level...

If it looks like this (inside the red circle), it's what I have been talking about: a local transaction.

Just use img tag, it will displayed as a link for now, but it will turn into an embedded image after you rank up to Jr.
