All the addresses you are seeing in the Addresses tab in Electrum are your addresses. Transferring the coins from one of them to another is like taking the money out of your right pocket and putting it in your left one while paying a fee for doing so.
You should also see your balance at the bottom left corner of the Electrum window showing how much bitcoin you own. All of it is spendable assuming this is not watch-only wallet (which it doesn't seem to be based on your comment).

it says no bitcoin in bottom left corner but its sitting in one of the addresses in the addresses tab can u post screen shots to show you?>

Some screenshots might indeed be helpfull... Maybe you're not properly connected to an electrum node, maybe you're confused by unconfirmed transactions.

Do realise that posting screenshots might hurt your privacy... As long as you don't post seeds or private keys, your funds are not at risk.

also i just noticed in the main interface i clicked on the last transaction i was playing  round with lastnight and so when ive clicked on it opens a transaction window and ive sent the money to an address that correlates to one of the address in my addresses tab so how do i have no bit coin that was 65 quid im guttedd lol

This is how your Addresses tab should look like. You can see I have many addresses (this is a testnet wallet) and I funded 2 of them. The balance of each address is shown in front of it with the number of transactions each had.
Your total balance is shown at the bottom left. Mine shows 0 + 0.0011 because the transactions weren't confirmed yet.

The green circle at the bottom right indicates a good connection and fully synced wallet. If you click it you should see the nodes you are connected to, their height and your last block height which should be equal.



You can also go to your History tab and see all the transactions involving your wallet (all your addresses). Double click on any of them to see the details. The green highlighted addresses belong to your wallet.

You can only use an external image hotlink provider like imgur.
Upload your screenshots to them, then post a link.

Don't worry to much, in normal circumstances, we don't get to see your seed or (master)private key(s). In order to expose those, you need to take extra steps.

According to the image you shared, you spent 0.00171321 in your last transaction and the balance is now zero. Seems that the fund has been sent to an address which isn't owned by you.
Can you please share a screenshot from "Addresses" tab and post the address you sent the 0.0017132 BTC to?
As mentioned by mocacinno, with posting your bitcoin address, you may damage your privacy. But don't worry about your security. No one can steal your fund just with knowing your bitcoin address.

I DUNNO HOW THE EFF IVE MANAGED THAT OR WHERE THAT ADDRESS IS EVEN FROM i thought it was mine cos its green  i think the top address in the addresses is the same address as the last transaction on thr other picture isnt it? i could cry that 65 BTC is most ive ever had

[hosseinimr93]

The bc1qvxgcutklfpnp0fhkcxnhsy2kmk873zh574v5dw (which is your address) received 0.00171321 BTC in this transaction.
The total fund was sent to 37tAt87dYKiPZg5mUJewF9FWWbnwsCwVf1 in another transaction.
Both transactions are shown in electrum too.

Where did you get the 37tAt87... from? As it has a different format, it can't be from the same wallet.

[o_e_l_e_o]

You first received 0.00131175 BTC before sending it out to this address - 385tNdLjPwSzsEc5SW7Gb9p3dpQSM4Q3uH
You then received 0.00122365 BTC before sending it out to the same address.

Where did you purchase this bitcoin? Looking at the address you sent it to, it is part of a centralized exchange or service. Which exchange was it?

You then received ‎0.00171321 BTC before sending it to this address - 37tAt87dYKiPZg5mUJewF9FWWbnwsCwVf1

Could this address also be part of the same exchange or service you sent coins to in the other two transactions?

the non electrum address is a wallet on one of the "dark or deep websites" as a few of my friends had bee buying like gucci handbags and stuff off them i know they sell illicit stuff also. but yeh i wanted to deposit my money to the bit coin wallet address they gave me on dark fox thats the name of the site and its in on of the top listed ones and also after every btc deposit the address should change on the website well it hasnt and my bit coins havent went there ive opened a support ticket on there cos apparently on other forums another well known dark/deep web worlld market was having issues with cryptocurrencies i.e. reporting missing cryptocurrencies so i wonder if its hit a lot of websites...

all your help has been fab thank you gentlemen

[o_e_l_e_o]

ive opened a support ticket

If you are sure you sent the coins to the correct address, then they have definitely been received since the transaction has 100+ confirmations. The only people who can help you now is the site in question, so you'll just have to wait for their response. It could be that their system simply didn't register the deposit for one reason or another.

The other possibility would be that you have sent the coins to the wrong place, either accidentally or through some piece of malware entering a fake address or similar. Did you double check the address before sending?

[biffy123]

yeh the BTC wallet on that dark fox website is exactly the same as the one i sent the bit coins too ive checked it a million times lol! ive left a support ticket explaining and said i have screenshots of proof i sent my btc to the wallet address u provided me with which is still there just in case they think im trying to pull a fast on but funny that world market which is the biggest market about at the moment was reporting missing cryptocurrencies obv the people had told the mods or site owners so they shut it down temp for 12 to try sort it out and thats only reason i went to dark fox and it looks as tho same thing is happening to them hopefully they answer my ticket soon.

[hosseinimr93]

ive left a support ticket explaining and said i have screenshots of proof i sent my btc to the wallet address u provided me

No need to provide any screenshot.
Just share the transaction ID with them. That's enough.
All bitcoin transactions are public and anyone is able to check details of a transaction with only having its transaction ID.

The transaction ID for the transaction in question is:
550f9653c769ac65129a279d9713732a813c18aa8e7ce262e669a400ab3138fb

[biffy123]

ok thanks hun ive added that Transaction ID to the support ticket the website isnt showing the 502 gateway like world market was yesterday when they temp shut it down cos of buyers complaining about their cryptocurrencies going missing ive just double checked the the address again and they are perfectly exactly the same lol Ive gotta question you know the pic i showed where you noticed id sent the money to an address that wasn't mine why is that address green in the input box but says the green is the in between the two boxes on the right hand side it says green = receiving does that not mean it went there instead the green hilighted address

[hosseinimr93]

Electrum highlights your receiving addresses in green. (Note that change addresses are highlighted in yellow and are yours as well.)
The screenshot your provided (which corresponds to this transaction) shows that the fund has been sent from bc1qvxgcutklfpnp0fhkcxnhsy2kmk873zh574v5dw to 37tAt87dYKiPZg5mUJewF9FWWbnwsCwVf1.

bc1qvxgc... is yours and is highlighted in green.
37tAt87d... isn't yours and isn't highlighted.

[biffy123]

I see you explain things really well thank you. You know your stuff! so technically the websites admins when they read my support ticket should either give me them back or find where they've gone and put them in my wallet? esp with the transaction proof
