Did it disappear or was never there?
A filter (like used and unfunded) can make addresses disappear, but for a good reason.
But I think that the address may have never been there - he can check in console with

Code:

ismine("bc1qcj3f0kllhwctsvgud4k9zv5gxqf574fm2qlj5t")

Then we can see whether it's a clipboard malware or something else.

I had him do a share screen and tried the ismine code and output was False. But what I’m confused about is that if it was the wrong address, then how would that address send only 0.004 to an address that DOES show up on his electrum wallet (meaning this one bc1qfg0a4ns3z4ud2d90t8hfgc2a2x6j65y7j3rnsa). You get what I mean ?

I recently sent 2 transactions from my Coinbase account to my friends Electrum Wallet address:
bc1qcj3f0kllhwctsvgud4k9zv5gxqf574fm2qlj5t

That address has so far recorded three transactions, two incoming and one outgoing, and all three occurred on August 10 of this year. So this "recently" of yours does not correspond to that address.

My problem is that:
2)The Address I sent it to ( bc1qcj3f0kllhwctsvgud4k9zv5gxqf574fm2qlj5t ) has disappeared from my friends Electrum wallet.
Honestly, I have never seen this happen before and I'm looking for some input on the situation.

What I would conclude from everything is something very simple and it is called clipboard malware - which would mean that your friend's computer is infected with malware that replaced his legitimate BTC address with a fake one - the BTC address cannot disappear by itself, it is always part of the created wallet.

r/Electrum - Missing BTC & Electrum Address not showing up anymore on ELECTRUM WALLET
Hey guys,

Hope everyone is well. This is a very weird situation and im hoping someone can provide some input on it.

I recently sent 2 transactions from my Coinbase account to my friends Electrum Wallet address:

bc1qcj3f0kllhwctsvgud4k9zv5gxqf574fm2qlj5t

Please find details of the transactions below.

https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/bc1qcj3f0kllhwctsvgud4k9zv5gxqf574fm2qlj5t

My problem is that:

Most funds do not show ( he only received 0.004/0.01611 BTC) on his electrum wallet on an address that DOES show which is bc1qfg0a4ns3z4ud2d90t8hfgc2a2x6j65y7j3rnsa .
2)The Address I sent it to ( bc1qcj3f0kllhwctsvgud4k9zv5gxqf574fm2qlj5t ) has disappeared from my friends Electrum wallet.

Honestly, I have never seen this happen before and I'm looking for some input on the situation.

please find the transaction hash's below as well:

Transaction #1:

ac5a0a85fd07e3b8175de59e0e0944912b3be5d9e7ee728499778aeaaa82b33c

Transaction #2:

9ed2ce7aa4d6ee6bba10de58eb6865c4ade96ac356f54c462b06b777da48b457

What confuses me is that if this was the wrong address, how would you justify the last transaction seen where that address sends some of the funds (0.004) to the visible Electrum wallet address while still keeping the majority of it.

Help is much appreciated!
