Uh now it works thanks

I was kinda thinking it could be segwit this morning but now I'm sure of it that it was the problem

If you want to use your Bitcoin regularly, or at least transfer it back and forth to exchanges, maybe switching to nested segwit (address that start with 3) can be an option. It is supported by a lot of exchanges (though not all of them support it yet), so it should be easy to manage your Bitcoin.

If the address begins with bc1 then create a new non-segwit wallet as per this guide and use that instead. The reason you have to do this is because bech32 addresses are not yet supported by a lot of exchanges, ATMs and other wallets so receiving coins to them is problematic.

If you're holding you might want to sent it to your segwit wallet while the fees are low...

You can use btc.com as a block explorer instead of blockchain or any other explorer that supports bech32.

You can try exchanges like coinbase or you use a p2p site like localbitcoins.com

Today now I watched blockchain website and I putted my Electrum address in it and I saw that there is not such a address as that. Im kinda new to Bitcoins and my English is very bad and I hope Yo can help me out how I can get some Bitcoins to my address.
