Topic: Not all BTC sent from one of my BTC wallets to another was received (Read 149 times)

It's fairly easy to tell that he may have accidentally "Googled" a Bitcoin-to-Altcoin pair when converting BTC to mBTC value by the amount that he's expecting...

If it's the megaBitcoin that you mentioned, the conversion shouldn't stray away from the digit "9", while he's expecting to receive "15".
That alone tells that there's market price subjected to the unit converter that he must have used.
And if you check that altcoins' price (at that time) the equivalent value is the same as his expected amount.

This is more credible than the theory of OP mistaking the 22BTC input as his and expected 15mBTC.
He even clearly mentioned that he "sent .0093776 BTC to electrum".

IMO, OP doesn't have that pattern and it takes quite an extensive investigation to get to same conclusion as mine.

Definitely an online wallet or an exchange unless OP does have at least 22 BTC.

In a normal, non-custodial wallet, the software will have a list of change addresses lined up to receive the change from the transaction, or it will possibly just send the change back to the original address. So maybe it was burned up in transaction fees (or withdrawal fees), or there was a bug in the online wallet software.

The SI prefix "M" stands for mega, which makes it millions of Bitcoins. As in: there can never be more than 21 MBTC. But the unit is too big, even for whales.

How did OP go from Bitcoin to some shitcoin, and casually type that conversion as if it's a normal thing to do? Is this some sneaky shitcoin promotion?

Electrum isn't referring to an altcoin when it shows "mBTC" unit, it's not the same as "MBTC" coin.
When searching for conversion tool, pay attention to the letter m's case, a milliBitcoin unit should be lowercase "mBTC", just a small denomination of Bitcoin (e.g.: BTC, mBTC, satoshi)
Whilst the one with uppercase is an altcoin "MBTC"; "mStable Bitcoin" which 9.3 mBTC is roughly equals to the 15MBTC that you're expecting.

As your statement says, you've sent 0.0093776 BTC to Electrum so, you received (close to) the same amount in Electrum. (sender even sent 2k sats more based from what you wrote)

If you don't want to be confused on the unit, set it to display the common bitcoin unit "BTC" in Electrum settings: "Tools->Preferences->Units->Base Unit".

0.0093776 BTC is equal 9.3776 mBTC, where 1 BTC is equal 1000 mBTC. So assuming you actually enter 0.00940144 BTC on the withdraw request (i assume you withdraw from exchange or other service), you already received what you requested.


FYI, there's no thing such as official Electrum support and nobody have ability to cancel/reverse Bitcoin transaction. Anyone who claim such things are scammer and should be blocked/ignored. Also be careful if you receive PM (private message) offering help, which is common tactics used by scammer.

How do you get 3 different numbers here?

You received the btc in your Electrum wallet, right? In that case without telling the name of the wallet [sent wallet] no one can help you.

Your whole narration is a little still blurry to me and my reason is simple. I looked up your transaction on a Blockchain explorer and the details I found there is different from what you are saying over here. The transaction has over 20BTC. It has 1 input of course meaning one of your child addresses had enough funds to pay for the transaction and to my suprise I can see about 9 outputs.
This is the input address with 20BTC

I think this address has the transaction of about $200 that you are referring to.

The others you saw are change addresses that received them so the remaining balance minus your initial sent amount ($223.7) is what should be left in your wallet. The change addresses only give your transaction more privacy.

The transactionid you posted is from some kind of online wallet or exchange, right? Not a desktop wallet or something?
It uses an input of >22 BTC and creates 10 outputs.

So, if you used an online service and you did not receive the correct amount, i guess you'll have to contact their support?

If you mistakingly shared the wrong txid, your story sounds like a change address... But i don't think that's the case for the txid you posted...

Hi, just about an hour ago, I placed a BTC transfer request and mistakenly entered that I was going to be sending .0093776BTC (or so I thought), when in actuality, electrum wallet was asking how many mBTC I was going to be sending to the bitcoin wallet address... so I entered in .00938 mBTC, and again, didn't realize a conversion needed to be made to mBTC before sending, and I sent .0093776 BTC to my electrum wallet (which is the equivalent of 15.76 MBTC, and only ended up receiving 9.40144 mBTC for that transaction send, but in doing so, all my BTC from my original wallet were sent during the transaction, with only about 59% of my sent BTC coins arriving into my electrum wallet during the send.

I'm writing to you today to see if there's any way to retrieve these lost BTC coins that weren't sent to my electrum wallet, and in researching how to get in contact with electrum support, was directed to this email address to direct support inquiries towards.

Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated, it's about $223.77 USD worth of BTC that were lost during this transaction send into my electrum wallet. Or, alternatively, if you could direct me towards a better place to send my inquiry "ticket" to, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for your time and consideration in this matter, and hope you have a lovely day. Hope to hear from you soon.
