Topic: Do not show my bitcoin balance (Read 324 times)

Same sentiment here ? what would be the details we needed here for clarifying the case.
Indeed that there is missing in this topic , and looking at it? OP seemingly not understanding the whole crypto world but manage to Buy 1 full bitcoin .

Not any one can't help you without sending your transaction hash and I think every one have ideas with created well-wishers how to get attention from the other, maybe easy if you are an victim you can show your wallet for receiving bitcoin because 1 btc is higher amount and I think better proof about tx hash or put on your topic about your receiving bitcoin address. If bitcoin still confirmation maybe we can see there on tx hash transaction about true or not with your friend sending 1 bitcoin to your wallet and easy tracking with tx hash about your transaction.

It does happen when it has not been confirmed. Depending on the type of wallet you are using. Nevertheless, be sure you are doing the right thing too.

this is a complicated thing to explain. My advice is just try asking your friend for proof of the transaction. if it's true that your friend sent it, try to check the transaction address again, maybe it's not your wallet, it's another wallet
because one thing is impossible if the transaction is successful the balance still shows 0

You did not explain in detail the sending of btc did not enter your wallet balance, you must complete the following questions:
- whether you make transactions between exchange accounts or non-custodial wallets
- attach proof of link from transaction sending btc (txid)

The above is very basic to find a solution to your problem, hope it can help you.

Do you even know that wallet addreses can be similar a little bit,  base on what you said there is no way you can see the btc sent and your balance at the same time to be zero, and there's no way you can be unable to send it if you truly sees it in your wallet,  you have theacess to you private key,  and if I may ask did you by any means reveal your seed phrase?

Secondly,  this your case calls for a serious  security consciousness  because you might be dealing with fraudulent individual smarter than you, and lastly I don't know the kind of relationship you had with the person but I doubt an ordinary friend will just send you 1btc this calls a suspicious  alarm.

Have you seen the proof of the transaction?
I advise you to request proof of transaction that your friend has successfully sent 1 BTC to your Bitcoin wallet address. If the delivery has been successful and there are no problems but the Bitcoin sent by your friend has not yet entered your Bitcoin wallet address then you better check your Bitcoin address which is used by your friend as the destination address, I think your friend sent Bitcoin to the Bitcoin address others.

Let me guess, this friend of yours doesnt reply to your messages anymore?
If this is the case then its confirmed, you got scam.

 I'm probably one of the slowest person to learn stuff but I sure do know a thing when I know how things works. There is no way a coin sent to your wallet will not appear in balance. Scam is the only explaination. 😁

The most probably chance is your friends using testnet Bitcoin which doesn't have any value. If you mean exchange is your wallet, then it's many possibility e.g. buggy sites, fake number shown on your account etc.

To anyone, I think it's useless to ask @OP to explain further about his problem. He just a typical newbie creating new thread and forget it, creating another and forget it again. He was online, but don't replied any posts here.

OP has only 4 posts on the forum, but it is clear from them that he first bought BTC on a crypto exchange, then claims to have bought Bitcoin "from CRC on onion servers", and it all looks like some dark market trade, very likely scam.

I tried to investigate the acronym CRC, and there is a link with cryptocurrencies, it is an altcoin, so there is a possibility that OP did not actually buy BTC (if he bought anything at all), but some altcoin he can't see in the BTC wallet.

Kindly elaborate the situation you currently are experiencing. I believe some details have been left out. If you want your problems to be resolved, please put everything in detail so we can help you. But to somehow alleviate your problem, kindly check with your friend if the transaction has been completed on his end. If it did, it must show up on your account unless you gave a wrong wallet address or there are sudden traffic because of the network used, which I believe seldom happens when you paid enough gas fee and there's no really transacting that much. After all, 10 minutes is the average transaction processing time. Double check if the wallet address you gave is the same with your wallet address itself. Sometimes there are sudden changes on the address on you just copy and paste it. To better ensure it, always check the first and last 5 characters of the address. If you confirmed that it is exactly the same, then you don't have anything to worry about because if the sender did sent you a bitcoin, it will be sent to your account.

If possible, get the transaction ID of the transfer to check if there is an existing transaction or your "friend" is just fooling you around. Please do not engage in something you know nothing or very little about next time. Because it appears to me that you are being taken advantage, but I sincerely hope I am wrong.

Not exactly. Bitcoin addresses have checksums incorporated into them. If you change a single character, the verification fails and the wallet shouldn't be able to send to that address or it will report it as invalid. You can test that yourself. Take any of your addresses (or someone else's) and paste them into a block explorer. You will see the history of all transactions. Now change one random character in the address and search for it again. You should get some type of error that the address doesn't exist. Even switching a lowercase character to an uppercase one will do the same in addresses where such changes are not allowed.   

it could be a scam. You can request transaction ID and do the check yourself. if it's true that he sent the transaction, maybe it's still pending, but I don't think sending bitcoins is pending for too long. however, the recommendation that we can give is to check the transaction, so you can really know whether the transaction was actually carried out or not. You can provide your wallet address to check here, or the transaction ID so that our friends on this forum can help you.

So you see your "BTC" asset on your wallet, and its balance is 0 am I correct? Have you tried checking the TX to check whether the transfer was successful? That's the best way to check whether your friend really "sent" you 1 BTC or not. Naturally, you can't transfer whatever you don't have in your wallet, so it's a no-brainer as to why you can't transfer your Bitcoin, it's because it's not yours yet. Other than that then there's really no way, maybe check if the wallet they sent it was correct?

Well friendo, sorry to hear about your bitcoin balance troubles. But I think we need a few more details before we can make an assessment of why your Bitcoin balance is not showing up as it should be. The first question that comes to mind would be: which wallet are you using? It might just be an user interface problem, most likely. In the worst case scenario you might have gotten hacked but thats the least likely thing to have happened, if you were careful with your passwords/keys/seed phrases.

Depending on the wallet, you might have to wait a while and refresh.

All the advise you delivered is indeed needed for transacting but this is not the case of what will happen but instead this is already happening and checking the BTC wallet address is not the problem here because he keep saying that the wallet shows there is 1 bitcoin but what made me confuse is where he seeing that the balance is zero.
kinda confusing in that part for me.

It seems like you look confused, but if your problem is true there are some factors you need to consider before panicking.

1. Double check your btc wallet address before making a transaction. This is the most important part because once there is a single letter or number that is missing, then that 1 btc is gone.

2. Make sure that the transaction is complete.

3. Make sure that your friend is not a scammer and is not kidding around you.

Those are the things you need to consider, but according to your previous post it seems like you were not sure about what you're doing. Please consider telling the truth or the whole story for us to help you with your dilemma.

Yes your friend gave you 1 BTC where you Don't know about bitcoin and you Don't know about  better bitcoin wallet.  now your btc shows 0 on your wallet.  I believe your story  

Can you tell us which wallet you used to received BTC?

If your friend gave you 1 bitcoin then surely your friend knows better about bitcoin then why don't you ask your friend about this problem?

We can't help you unless you share the truth. We have to know what wallet have you been using and how the wallet you got. Is that from someone else with the funds or you had generated the wallet? More important is how did you receive the funds? No matter if it's not showing USD balance for any reason. But the matter is if the transaction exists on the blockchain to your Bitcoin address. Ask your friend, to send you a transaction id. I think you were fooled somehow and not sharing the truth. So please share the honest story as we ask. We might say something about it.

You should explain further this case, is it the same as the first post you created asking about you bought from Exchange? and now it is from your friend? sorry but i think this is not that completely detailed.
like others it is confusing that you are seeing the Bitcoin but in your balance it is zero? please answer the question above if what Wallet are you using and please send us here the transaction history so we can check closely.
