How to view balances in cold wallet?

[bitcoinbitcoin]

How do you see transactions/balances in the cold wallet?
There is an option to EXPORT history, but how do u IMPORT history?

I even copied the whole "electrum_data" folder over to the cold wallet, and the history/balances still didnt show up.
Any ideas? thanks!

You don't need history for the cold wallet. You just need to load transactions and sign them.

Cold wallets only need to sign, and they don't need a history or the same number of addresses as your watching only wallet to sign them.

Your cold wallet will always just show 5 addresses and 3 change addresses with no information about balance or history.


There is no need for the cold wallet to do anything but sign transactions.
