to see the status of your transaction look at the history tab and not the receive tab. does the transaction show up on the history tab?

Problem is solved... OP sent BCH to BTC address and was able to recover with PK.

Thanks guys...have  changed server and looking to download a VPN....will keep you updated
Again....Thank you
No, you misunderstood bob's post, a VPN will make it worse (the context "unless you aren't using a VPN", means that it might be one of the problem).
A regular connection is better.

only 2nd transaction....help

does this means there are 2 transactions and one of them already showed up on your wallet?
i believe this is a connectivity issue with electrum server if it persists for hours (though it's a bit weird that your first transaction has shown up already). do what other suggested above, use vpn or something similar.

You do not have to actively do something to receive a transaction.

As TryNinja already said, check your transaction on a blockchain explorer.
If it shows as confirmed there (note: will show as unspent then -> unspent means you didn't spent them yet), you don't see it because you are not connected (indicated by the orange/red circle).

If you aren't using a VPN and are not from a country which heavily restricts the internet, the electrum server you are connected to is under attack or otherwise not accessible.
In this case, you might ask mocacinno to whitelist your IP for his private electrum server.


Note: As long you have a backup of your seed (12 word mnemonic code), you will always have access to your BTC, regardless of the wallet used.

Is the transaction confirmed in a blockchain explorer?
Try searching for it here: https://www.blockchain.com/explorer

Have you tried changing the server manually?

To do this: Tools -> Network -> Server -> Uncheck "Select server automatically" -> Right-click a different server -> "Use as server";
