i thought best thing would be to save the btc from the electrum wallet in a new wallet, but on trying that electrum stalls... windows error. what shoud i do next ? i ordered a hardware wallet, but can i still leave the coins on the electrum wallet for now? if not, how to get the electrum to work again? thanks.
What is the error message? Are you using an older version of windows like Win7 or Win8? and is it an error about Python35.dll like this?
If so, go back to using v2.9.3 available from here: https://download.electrum.org/2.9.3/
v3 doesn't play nice with older versions of Electrum.
or is it a completely different error message?
That error is only on startup as that's when python35.dll gets called.
Op, what point does the wallet stall? Is it when you hit "new/restore", when you boot it or when you put in something (like a wallet name or seed creation).
Still downgrading should fix this issue as I assume it's probably either the DLL error or an exception error.
thanks for replying fast.
in the meantime I found out how to reload the blockchain in multibit and the fake transaction disappeared from the interface + btc balance is correct.
i'm letting go the idea to make another software wallet and wait for the hardware device.
Thanks again.
You'll probably want to move those coins unless these sorts of corrupt wallet imports are quite native to multibit? in the meantime I found out how to reload the blockchain in multibit and the fake transaction disappeared from the interface + btc balance is correct.

Also, if you try getting electrum to work, you'll be able to use that with your hardware wallet (unless you opt for a chrome plugin most hardware wallets use).
