have the same issue on Mac electrum v.3.0.5
have a Zero-value transaction listed and the electrum got frozen. when I double-click on the transaction, the program crashes so I can't even know the TX to check it on the blockchain.

Get your address and the amount you should've received and we can trace the TX from the blockchain. Can't do very much from there.




Onto what someone said about my post, it looks like it doesn't understand the hash as if it'd imported successfully, even if it was the wrong wallet it'd still import it with a message along the lines of "transaction not related to wallet addresses".

When will the next release come? Are we talking about days, weeks?
Honestly, no idea... your best bet is to go onto the #Electrum IRC channel on Freenode and ask there: https://webchat.freenode.net/

Or try asking on the Electrum github, as only the devs really know when the next release is coming.

The next release should cure this issue. Seems the parsing of "Non MultiSig" SegWit P2SH transactions was broken. Undecided
If you are super desperate for the fix, you could probably clone the current Electrum repo and run from source.

Yeah sorry. I found the tx is this: b18a38be693a5dca1aae2326351cb80c3ca64616559f0c4c5c9b6d2d8841d9cb

But was still wondering how it could be imported. I got the hash, but when I tried importing it, electrum crashed and hasn't come back since Sad.

Looks like there's some sort of server issue with the new release as it has crashed v2.9.8 and v3.0.5.

if this is not your wallet you can't just import the transaction in the wallet, there is no option for that. if you want to test it, you need to import the receiving address in a new wallet.

and the problem is not with the server, it is with the wallet itself. it receives a transaction ID which you posted here, and saves it. then it also receives the same transaction in raw format but before saving it, the wallet has to verify this transction by parsing it. but it fails there so it can not save the raw transaction hex (in blockchain.info add ?format=hex and you see it) in your wallet. so it shows the amount received as 0 and also gets stuck in synchronizing.

this should fix it: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/pull/3794
if you know how, clone the repository and build a new version based on the latest commits. some helpful link for windows
if you don't wait for them to make a new release which shouldn't take long.

As coding enthusiast has pointed out... there was a bug reported here: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/3788
It has been fixed and merged here: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/pull/3794

The next release should cure this issue. Seems the parsing of "Non MultiSig" SegWit P2SH transactions was broken. Undecided

Check the receiving address(s) on an online blockchain explorer. If you know the amount of BTC you received you can find immediately your transaction and the Txid. Else find the completed transaction before the one showed with 0 BTC and the one after.

Can someone tell me how to use this code?

I'm not a developer, can i just enter it in the console?  Huh

Can you get the TXid? I'll get the hash for you from a block explorer and you can paste that into your wallet to import the transaction hash (I'll tell you how to do this once I get the TXid and the hashed format).


Cant get the TXid because Electrum crashes everytime i try to rightklick the transaction in history.

The Coding Enthusiast posted information, not code. And if it works to just import the raw hash then that'll probably save a lot of effort of running the other scripts.

From which exchange did you sent your BTC to electrum?
BITPANDA? It looks like everybody has this problem received a payment from bitpanda.



Bitpanda, right.

The most of us are not a developer - me included. I think we just need to wait for a new software release or something like this.

Not sure where to post this answer since you have two topics, I just put it here (the longer one).
I can confirm that this is a bug and reproduce-able.




Most probably some problem with parsing the transaction.
The Tx ID already exists in the wallet, but the raw hex of it is not stored, which is why you see the amount as 0.
Code:
{
    "addr_history": {
        "1LocrF7CRP9m9RcddKrVr94GfLUR66VVuM": [
            [
                "b18a38be693a5dca1aae2326351cb80c3ca64616559f0c4c5c9b6d2d8841d9cb",
                506235
            ]
        ]
    },
    "addresses": {
        "1LocrF7CRP9m9RcddKrVr94GfLUR66VVuM": {}
    },
    "pruned_txo": {},
    "seed_version": 16,
    "stored_height": 506673,
    "transactions": {},
    "tx_fees": {},
    "txi": {},
    "txo": {},
    "verified_tx3": {
        "b18a38be693a5dca1aae2326351cb80c3ca64616559f0c4c5c9b6d2d8841d9cb": [
            506235,
            1516990732,
            328
        ]
    },
    "wallet_type": "imported",
    "winpos-qt": [
        162,
        333,
        840,
        400
    ]
}

I'm sorry but the problem still persist.
As I posted two times this post (here and in the official electrum dev thread, I will go on there)

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/electrum-received-transaction-with-0btc-instead-of-0275-2829069

I suggest everybody who has the same problem to go on posting in the thread above in order to send any useful information to the official electrum developer team.
Many thanks to everybody who helped till now :-)

I can confirm the same issue with Electrum 3.0.5 desktop. In history tab the transaction shows up with 0 BTC, though I can see the transaction on a blockchain explorer. The right click option to get details or to view the transaction on a blockchain explorer is not working inside Electrum app.  Electrum status is "synchronizing"  and never completes. What I did, but with nothing changed:

1) Selected a  different server. Did it multiple times
2) Exported the private key. Imported it as new wallet: the same result, in the history tab that transaction is still receiving 0 BTC. Electrum is "Synchronizing" but never finishes.
3) Removed Electrum. Installed it again.
4) Recover from seed on a different machine, clean installation OS.

What I am thinking to try is to sweep the private keys in an other wallet, eg Greenaddress. Anyone else shares the same possible solution?

Try it in an older version of the wallet first.
ensure you click to encrypt the full wallet file on setup.
On the electrum.org/#download there's a "previous versions" link.

as wrote before, i suggested personally to invest in btc and to use electrum because really trustable and safe... so i really feel in fault if he looses 2500€ thanks to my suggestion.
don't worry, you didn't lose his bitcoin. It is still there in the address mentioned
it's simply technical problem showing the balance in your wallet.
in addition to saving your seed, you can extract individually that address' private keys just for double safety measure
and do what TryNinja suggested and also check just in case your wallet is offline mode

@OP, this can't be done in Android electrum (the saving of address' private keys) so it's a pointless task unless you're going to put the wallet on your computer's electrum wallet, in which case, that's sufficient along with writing down the seed as it's unlikely for all three to go missing.
