Topic: Electrum withdrawal issues (Read 273 times)
So I've come to the conclusion that I fell victim to phishing proxies. Didn't know that was a thing. But the site I was using for links was a phishing site in itself, a replica of the original site that I've been using for up-to-date links, and the links were in turn phishing proxies. Is what it is. I appreciate your help guys.
If you are indeed sure that you have sent your funds to the correct address, i see 2 options:
1) They scammed you. The majority of deepweb sites are a scam.
2) Their software is extremely bad and didn't recognize the deposit, which is quite unlikely.
Since you have successfully sent the funds to the address provided, it is definitely the fault of the site you sent them too.
Your only option is to contact them / wait for their reply (if any is coming at all).

What reasons do you have to believe that the sites you sent the funds to didn't just scam you?
So far we have established that the transactions were confirmed and you claim that you typed the addresses yourself and didn't copy-paste them. Therefore we can rule out a clipboard virus.
That leaves just a few possibilities:
You made a mistake while tipping the addresses.
You were given wrong addresses by the owners of the sites.
The sites are scams.
When you say onion sites I assume sites on the darknet. Meaning illegal activities and services. None of that seems like a safe environment to send your money to.

Wouldn't be clipboard, I visually type in the address instead of copy pasting. I went over the addresses numerous times to make sure I typed them in correctly. Sites were correct URLs and not phishing sites, and the fact that two different sites gave me the same issue I'm pretty lost. I've tried contacting one of the sites and have yet to receive a response. But they never even showed any pending/incoming deposits to begin with. Electrum phishing is out of the equation because I wouldn't have been able to send the money from the wallet in the first place. The two sites I sent to were confirmed main site links. Is there any other possibility here?
Both site URLs are confirmed as legitimate and not phishing links.
You say the URLs are confirmed, but are the addresses confirmed? Have you contacted the site admins and checked that you sent to the correct addresses? 
At this point, they're the only ones that can determine that the addresses you sent to were correct.You have the blockchain evidence to prove that the funds were sent and received.
#1. 3LdTcRKcNo85z8gPWfeVHZ3Z3qgqAYfP2y received 0.03975395 BTC
#2. 3GYkr4HfqqGJQTcT3y29EBDgJHpz6bEXV3 received 0.01101503 BTC
If the funds are not showing in your account on these sites, then either:
1. You sent to the wrong address (possible clipboard jacking)
2. The sites are actually a scam and are lying to you
3. The sites aren't a scam and are just broken/incompetent
Both transactions were sent to wallets on onion sites. Two different sites. I thought that MAYBE I got phished on the first transaction (the site is confirmed not a phishing site by the way -- partially why I'm still confused) and so I decided to try it again on a different site and still, the BTC never arrived. Both site URLs are confirmed as legitimate and not phishing links.
Perhaps the sites were legit, but your computer might not be? You sure you copied the right adresses from the site onto your wallet?The only thing i can think of here is that you became the victim of a clipboard malware. - https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/clipboard-hijacker-malware-monitors-23-million-bitcoin-addresses/
If it's not the site, it has to be something on your side...?

If these are created by Electrum clearly something IS wrong, look at the transactions... and come back again to agree with me
Both of them look perfectly fine. Which 'issue' do you see in those transactions ?
1st transaction: 1 P2PKH input -> 1 P2SH / P2WSH output
2nd transaction: 1 P2PKH input -> 1 P2SH output (can't be said whether nested segwit or multisig yet)
Did you disable change addresses? The transactions show change addresses are not used....
This is not related to the issue of the OP.
Besides that, you can't 'disable' change addresses. That's how bitcoin works. You use one (or multiple) UTXO(s) and create one (or multiple) UTXO(s).
OP has send the whole UTXO 'to someone else', therefore it is a 1 input 1 output transaction.
OP, both of the transactions were received successfully.
Which tumbler did you use? And where did your second transaction go to? A private person or some business / website ?

EDIT: right, he transfered the whole amount, my bad

Indeed, the transactions are confirmed.
It's you who has to check if 3LdTcRKcNo85z8gPWfeVHZ3Z3qgqAYfP2y and 3GYkr4HfqqGJQTcT3y29EBDgJHpz6bEXV3 are indeed the addresses where you wanted to send.
If so, all is good and you have to discuss with the owners of the recipient addresses. The money is there.
