Topic: Electrum wallet not showing funds (Read 549 times)

Quote from: Perditor1633 on April 04, 2018, 07:32:00 PM

OP, I think the problem could be from the electrum wallet if you didnot provided the wrong address as your receive address because you're not the first person to have this issue, someone also complained about not receiving his/her bitcoin acouple of days either https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/electrum-wallet-wont-receive-bitcoin-and-there-is-no-pending-under-history-1841106

I found a recommendation in that topic, which recommended trying different networks. I think ultimately I was connected to an out-of-date server that I had drawn weeks ago when I first downloaded Electrum wallet. When I toggled the auto-connect off and restarted I was paired up with a fresh server upon turning auto-connect back on.

Here are the exact steps I followed to get a resolution:
1. Go to network, and de-selected the automatically connect to network.
2. Force quit Electrum
3. Restart Electrum
4. Go to network, re-select automatically connect to network.

After that, the transaction posted immediately. Thanks

Hahaha. I thought so since there is no transaction history appearing in your electrum wallet. Hmmm but do you have any idea how this occur? I never encounter this kind of network connection failure. Can you please post here the link to the thread on where do you get that guide? Thank you

I think it was the fact that I had left my Electrum running for two weeks played a part. The problem is, my Bitcoin Core crashed and I had to download the WHOLE blockchain again before I could access my BTC, so I sat around waiting for that to happen.

The link is in the quoted section that I pasted within this thread.

Sorry to revive this thread, but I just want to add for anybody that might be facing a similar issue like this one (Bitcoin Core crashing and you needing to download the blockchain again). You should be able to recover the BTC directly through Electrum by importing the seed phrase of your original wallet.

Possibly also just a "bad server" that wasn't updating properly... I think the fact that you got connected to a different server and everything started working supports this theory.

As for leaving it running for weeks... Generally, a simple shutdown and restart of Electrum can fix a lot of network issues. That sort of thing fixes like 99% of most IT related issues! haha Tongue

Does the address you have sent the funds to appear in electrum (receive- or address tab?) ?

Yes, the address I sent my BTC to is in the Electrum application, and the receiving address was inside of the receiving tab, right where it says: "Receiving address:"

Does it still appear in the receive-/address tab?

Yep totally missed it (not used to a Mac) but then found it. I did an ismine("address") in the command line and it said true for the address I copied from electrum.

Just to make sure i understand you correctly:

You have sent BTC's to address X from your electrum wallet
This address X is visible under receive-/address tab
ismine("X") returns true

If you can answer all of those questions with yes, then can you please try to execute the following command:

Code:

listunspent()

This should return all UTXO's available.
Look at the list you get and search for your address/amount received. Do you see any transactions/coins related to your address X ?

I guess you missed it:

Yep totally missed it (not used to a Mac) but then found it. I did an ismine("address") in the command line and it said true for the address I copied from electrum. I'm 99.9999% sure I used the right address. I checked it multiple times and had my wife check it forwards and backwards.

Can you clarify if where did you download the electrum wallet and put the bitcoin address you use for receiving bitcoin from bitcoin core here, so that we can find what actually the reason for not showing transaction in your electrum history and let me know if what version of electrum wallet you use?

I downloaded Electrum from https://electrum.org/#download.

Has it still not come through?

If not, could you use a separate computer and try to restore the wallet from its seed.
You could also get the raw tx info and import that into electrum by going to tools -> load transaction and then use one of the options. Load from blockchain allows you to put the tx in there and the client will pull the relevant info from the blocks. From text allows you to import it from the raw transaction hash.

There used to be a bug in electrum that was supposedly fixed that included this (it was in the transition from python 2 to 3) but there might still be issues related to that bug that might have appeared. You might want to open a bug report on this though it might be difficult to isolate this new bug.

Are you sure your Electrum is legit?

Did you check the PGP signature?

I recently decided to upgrade computers and sent BTC from my old BTC Core to an Electrum wallet on the new machine. I confirmed the address about seven times, twice with a second person, then hit send. I then went to my new Electrum wallet and put in the amount to be received about 1 minute later. As of 12 hours, I still don't see it in my Electrum wallet, but checking on blockchain, I see that the transaction has been confirmed >60 times. I have the most recent build directly from the Electrum website, running on a Mac. Anyone have any suggestions?

2. Make sure any firewall on your Mac don't block Electrum.

If that green circle appears which means it is completely sync with the network which means theres no firewall blocking electrum.
I have same question too if the address being used to sent out funds is listed on view addresses tab.If not then he input the wrong address.

Yes, it would be stuck on "syncronising"... or "not connected" otherwise.

There are 2 possibilities maybe you put a wrong bitcoin address or you use a fake electrum wallet.

I wast aware with that fake electrum wallet,if theres one then it might be a reason but the thing always comes to my mind which this would be an error in inputting the address because its very impossible for those funds not to be credited or doesnt show on the entire history of transactions in electrum.

There are fake versions of every piece of software if it's widespread and lucrative enough to do.

@OP, can you hash the installer and check it with the has from electrum.org and the github repository?

Were you speaking it to them or were they just referencing the two? IF it was the first, then if you put a capital instead of a lower case for example, that'd throw off the send. It wouldn't throw it off by too much though as there last 7 digits of the address for bech32 for example are a checksum so the transaction should hopefully run into an error. EDIT: I tested this and it does produce an error when the checksum fails with an "Invalid Lines Found" error.
