Topic: new to bitcoin (Read 608 times)

Keep in mind I would only keep spending money on a mobile.  It just is to accessible and possible for bad things to happen.

I highly suggest looking into cold storage.  There are multiple options, or if afraid of that look into hardware wallet.

Did your BTC show up on other website?

I have used Myceilum and Bitcoin wallet on android. Both of which supporting determistic wallet. There was a vulnerbility affecting the RNG a few years ago and they were fixed.

Due to the size and CPU constraints, Bitcoin Core for mobile is not possible. SPV wallets are mostly created for android.

Have you used the android/IOS wallets? Are they safe? Is there a bitcoin core for mobile?

If it isn't confirmed yet, then the merchant or service probably won't update your account.  You'll need to wait for the transaction to receive a few confirmations.

Would you be willing to share the transaction ID or the address and amount so that we could take a look at the transaction and give you a better understanding of what is going on?


Some desktop wallets to consider are:

Desktop:

• Bitcoin Core
• MultiBit
• Armory
• Electrum

There are also mobile wallets for Android or iOS, and there are some hardware wallets as well.

it does not say confirmed just transactions 1. Total receive with x amount of btc and final balance. then a green arrow below that. sorry if i sound like noob am very new to this, i would greatly appriciate some info on a safe yet easy to use wallet NOT service live LBC or Blockchain thank you

From where?  You haven't said anything yet about sending any bitcoins to any merchant.


Local Bitcoins isn't a wallet, it's a service that provides you with an account at their website.  A wallet is something that gives you full control of your own money, an account is when you turn control of the money over to someone else. You wouldn't say that you "deposited money in your bank wallet" would you?  No, you'd say that you deposited the money into your bank "account".  Localbitcoins might try to confuse people by calling their account service a wallet, but that's just lazy marketing on their part.


Wallets don't sell you items.  Wallets provide you full control over your own bitcoins.  Then you use the wallet to send bitcoins to the bitcoin address of a merchant that is selling you something (or the service that is facilitating the transaction).


Does the blockchain.info block explorer indicate that the transaction is "confirmed" yet?  If so, then how many confirmations does the transaction have?  Are you sure you sent to the correct bitcoin address?


If there is a confirmed transaction in the blockchain that sends the correct amount of bitcoins to the correct address, then the problem is with the merchant or service that you are buying from.  You'll have to contact them and ask them why they haven't credited your account with the bitcoins yet.

ok, am trying to buy something. i moved the coins from my LBC wallet to the wallet am trying to purchase the item from. i Checked blockchain.info it shows the wallet as with my transaction with x amount of btc. but it does not show in the wallet on the website am trying to purchase the item from. maybe this more clear, thanks you.

I think he is saying what is that confirm means. But why are you moving coins between your wallets? For every movement you have to pay 10000 santoshi as a fee if you are using blockchain. Please explain about you problem with more detail.

Like notlist3d has said you have to tell us a bit more about what are you trying to do. What wallets are you using? Is it Core, or some other lite wallet? There are really many options and it's not easy to give you anymore help without not knowing more.

If you have attempted this yesterday than I suppose you have sent them to the Bitcoin Core wallet that's not synced til the end if they are not showing up.

Of course, assuming that you've done everything correctly and you haven't made any mistakes.

Are you moving coins to a wallet that is syncing with blockchain? This can take some time just a lot of data.  If lightweight wallet it is much quicker.

What is original wallet and secondary wallet you are trying to send to?  (Wat programs no addresses)

am moving coins between different wallets, on blockchain they say confirmend.but when i go to the wallet i originally had em they are still there, i attempted this yesterday afternoon.and still nothing, can anyone shine a light on me concerning this. thank u
