Have a done it right

[owas]

After buying my three bitcoins last week, I have been waiting for them to appear in bitcon core desktop wallet application. As this taken almost a week sync and then "render blocks" its still not working and wont update my total.
 So I got my private key, opend a greenaddress.it account and from here requested the three coins. But I cant use bitcoin core on my desktop wallet as it wont updated my total.
 So is it correct that my coins are now safe in the greenaddress.it account, and I can just leave them there now and can I delete the bitcoincore application from my pc?

What is your bitcoin address? Have you checked the address balance on blockchain.info to make sure it is really 3 bitcoin?

I m not sure what my address is or where I can find it? But the balaance in greenaddress is 2.9999 BTC ≈ 647.02 GBP (although I paid £724 for the 3 bitcoins last Tuesday)??

scrpa that, I found it and yes the address shows the transaction of three coins today.

You most likely went from 3 coins to 2.9999 due to the fee of moving the coins to greenaddress. Most people do not need to use bitcoin core wallet because it has to download the entire blockchain before you see current balances etc. Wallets like multibit do not need to do this, nor does blockchain.info wallet

Bitcoin has a standard transaction fee of 0.0001 bitcoin, so it is alright to get 2.9999 bitcoin for your 3 bitcoin withdrawal.

Bitcoin price was near $350 last Tuesday, and is now near $320.

you didn't need to import your private key in greenaddress. if you wanted to check if you received the bitcoins, you just needed to check your balance in any online block explorer.
the most famous one is blockchain.info

also it is suggested that you create a new address there and send them to the new address. you can do this with 0 fee if you are sending it to yourself and don't want to spend the tiny amount of BTC, and you are not in a hurry

take a look at a hardware wallet. its more secure than what you do at the moment:
