My hero! Thanks so much! Is there some place for people with lizard brains to learn this? Or I can keep bothering you? Lol

Ignore my same question in the other thread.

Thanks again

It mostly comes from experience and I'm sure you'll become more familiar with it as you use it.

I'd recommend looking over Electrum's documentation at http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/ if you haven't already as there is a good bit of knowledge there as well.

And, of course, you can always ask any questions in the Electrum forum section. Many users here are glad to help out.

@kolloh I don't know exactly what I did but on top of that my password didn't work so I made a new wallet and it is using that and one disappeared. So now I have to decide if I want to keep electrum. I like wallets that shows btc and USD.

I installed a blockchain wallet but man that is a nightmare to access. First you have a code you have to enter, then an sms code. I live alone so don't worry about anyone else being on my computer.

I just went through hell with multibit so they all worry me know since CS is so hard to find.

Thanks for the help.

I have no clue about where to foind the back up. It's on my backup drive. If I decide not to use it I'll leave it on my computer, just not visible.

Ah gotcha. Well, if the password doesn't work, it shouldn't hurt to remove it by navigating to the folder I indicated above. Just double check to ensure you are removing the correct one and take a backup beforehand in case you end up removing the wrong one or something.

Just so you know, it is possible to get Electrum to show a USD value as well. Just go to Tools -> Preferences -> Fiat and select USD from the dropdown. Electrum will then also show the USD value for you.

Electrum is definitely worth using once you learn how it works.

Here you can see how to get to the wallet files on the Mac:

Some how installing Electrum on my Macbook I ended up with Default wallet and one I called Use This Wallet. Use This wallet has a ton of addresses in (no idea why I was in the middle of multibit HD hell).

Is there a way to 1. remove the wallet which has never been used and 2 rename Default wallet.

Thanks

My experience with multibit and their lack of support freaked me out I'm afraid to make a move anymore. Right now my BTC is in Coinbase which is working fine for me.

It usually isn't recommended to remove a wallet entirely in case it is needed in the future so it would be advised to at least make a backup before removing.

You can remove and rename your wallets by navigating to the Electrum userdata directory which should be something similar to C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Electrum\wallets\ on Windows depending on the Windows version.
