Blochain wallet ISSUE !

[ItsaWhale]

So I'm into crypto world more than 6th years and know a lot of stuff
But today i do have a issue with BLOCKCHAIN wallet
1. i copy the address  and send 0.022 BTC from an exodus wallet
2. Transaction has more than 20 Confrimation
3. The BTC isnt showing up on Blockchain wallet at all , it used to show up instant even when 1 confrimation
4. The address had been Double Triple Checked everything Good from my side
THE ADDRESS IS NOT CHANGED FROM ANY CLIPPER OR ANYTHING !

When i go into blockchain to receive it still gives me the Same address 
Had anyone had a similar issue ? or any idea what to do next ?

Import the seed phrase on Electrum.

To import the seed phrase on desktop Electrum: name your wallet or go for default wallet name and then click on next and follow this:

Standard wallet -> I already have a seed. Enter your seed phrase and click on options -> select BIP39 seed phrase and click on next. Select from these derivative paths:

Legacy for addresses that starts from 1
Native segwit for addresses that starts from bc1

Click on next. Input your password that you want for the wallet and you are done.

On mobile Electrum. After you input your seed phrase, you will not see 'options' at the right lower side where you input the seed phrase, but you will see 'Electrum' at the upper right corner. Click on it and select BIP39 to proceed.

Note that Blockchain.com wallet is a close source wallet and it would be better to generate new seed phrase on open source wallet directly. Electrum wallet is an open source wallet.

Is there a possibility to share the link to the transaction and possibly the address from your blockchain.com wallet? (I assume you are talking about him)

Are you talking about the wallet at this address, right? https://www.blockchain.com/en/wallet

[ItsaWhale]

yes im talking about that Blockchain wallet i used it more than 6 years never had a problem till today thats why i asked

Sorry i cant not share the txid

1. i copy the address  and send 0.022 BTC from an exodus wallet
2. Transaction has more than 20 Confrimation
3. The BTC isnt showing up on Blockchain wallet at all , it used to show up instant even when 1 confrimation

Did you try to check the address balance with Bitcoin block explorers?

20 confirmations so that address should have a balance with that transaction value plus what you have in it before that transaction from Exodus wallet.
If balance is shown on block explorers, you don't have to worry because issue is from Blockchain.com wallet.

How can I migrate from blockchain wallet to Electrum?
Importing your private keys, seeds into Electrum.

Choose BIP39 after enter your wallet seed.

You should verify your Electrum wallet too.

 The Blockchain wallet supports BCH now as well.  Did you copy a BCH address by mistake?

yes i have copy the address put on explorer i can see that bitcoins are on that address i have typed
but on Blockchain wallet dont show up at all

isn't it more easy if copy my 12 words of the wallet and put it on a Trust wallet ? rather than dealing with electrum thorugh phone !

[xhomerx10]

Why would you screw around with the seed phrase?  If you properly copied the address and pasted it but the coins didn't show up,  it's possible you have malware on your computer.  Now is not the time to screw around with your seed phrase.  If you don't want to share the txid here, then get someone you trust to investigate.  Don't panic as it could lead to even greater losses.  It's not reasonable that after 20 confirmations, you cant see your coin in your Blockchain wallet and if you don't know why, you should stop and figure it out - seek trusted help.

It would work, but Trustwallet is a close source wallet and also have its own issue and I will not recommend it at all.

Using mobile Electrum is enough for you.

If you want another wallet, you can try Bluewallet or Samourai. They are both BIP39 seed phrase wallets.

Trust wallet is a wallet for multiple coins, Bitcoin and altcoins. I am against practice to use a wallet for both Bitcoin and altcoins.

Choose a wallet for Bitcoin, only use it to store Bitcoin.
Use another or other wallets to store altcoins.

Electrum wallet is available for mobile, Android. What is you issue to use Electrum wallet on phone while you can use Trust wallet on phone?

I don't like Blockchain wallet, I am surprised you have been using it for too long, or maybe the reason why it seem safe in your eye was because you never stored a lot of fund on it? Block chain wallet is one of the most targeted Bitcoin wallet out there, I could remember many people running away from it years ago.

Import your seed into trust wallet, yea it's closed source but just to get your Bitcoin out, and if it's still missing and the BTC address is the same, you must have done something wrong, maybe your PC in infected? Maybe you copied a wrong BTC address? Or maybe Clipboard hijacking is at work here?

You should start looking into Electrum, it's one of the most transparent Bitcoin wallet out there and since it's available for smartphone users too it's a good choice for those who can't afford a hardware wallet, but when you have the money in the near future it's better to consider buying a Trezor, Keystone or Tangem hardware wallet.

I have never used Blockchain.com wallet before. Hardly have I heard anyone recommend this type of wallet. The most frequently suggested is the electrum wallet. Possibly because it is open source compared to the closed- source design of Blockchain.com.

Given your expertise with the Electrum wallet, could you please guide me through the steps to update it? Despite downloading the latest version and running it, I continue to receive prompts to update, similar to my previous experiences. A step-by-step breakdown of the process, as you provided in the earlier explanation, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I download the new update from Electum official site, https://electrum.org/ and install the update and nothing more than that.

Hey I tried it. I downloaded it from their official website and installed the update. Now the issue I have is that the application is not opening up on my computer. What could be the problem? And solutions to it?

*Edit - Some solutions I may try is to uninstall the app and reinstall it.
Just bringing another update here. I didn't have to uninstall the app. What I did was to run the electrum 4.5.2 setup again which I did earlier. After the installation was completed. I clicked to open the app and it worked. What I think caused the problem initially was that the electrum application was opened while I carried out the installation process. I am not an expert here, but this is my best guess.

Thank you very very much for the great and clear help u gave me
i followed ur steps and installed the Electrum desktop then i used the Standard wallet which then selected BIP39 seed phrase
I had to wait like 1 hour to scan all my transaction from back 2018 till now
And Finally i can see my whole balance of bitcoins (which i transferred to a cold wallet )
On Blockchain app it still dont show up the Transaction on History and even not showing up the money (its been more than 48 hours )
Long story short,  Thank you very much would like to send you a small Tip on BTC for the time and great explanation

Electrum is a SPV wallet and it does not need 1 hour to sync the wallet and scan your transaction history. With good Internet connection, it can finish after a few seconds.

1 hour is only if you have very poor Internet connection that connect and disconnect repeatedly and you barely have your wallet connect to Internet and Electrum servers.

If you see a green icon at the bottom left, it connects to Electrum servers and I am quite sure you will see your transaction history and balance within several seconds.

 There's something odd about this thread and I feel dirty having waded into it.

Just as BlackBoss_ has posted already, Electrum wallet is an SPV wallet, the synching should take nothing more than a second or some seconds. What might caused it is bad network connection but most likely that you did not connect online before. But glad to know that you are able to have access to your coins again.

There's something odd about this thread and I feel dirty having waded into it.

I felt the same because maybe OP just unlucky connect to a server that does not work at that time and don't know how to connect to another Electrum server. I don't think Internet connection is a problem because if it is, OP could not make this thread.

When connecting to a server, Electrum wallet can be available for checking balance, broadcasting transactions after some seconds.

Another odd is OP just wrote a story but I don't know.
