Topic: Requests Status Stuck Pending (Read 250 times)
I don't think the status in the Requests tab really matters. As long as the coins are in your wallet, you should have control of them and the ability to spend them whenever you wish.
the receive tab is used for creating a request for payment.
imagine you want to ask your friend to send you 0.144BTC. for that you need to give him your bitcoin address and ask him to send you 0.1BTC.
bitcoin makes it easy with a special URI pattern scheme called bip21.
what you created is this URI, it is like a link eg. https://bitcointalk.org and when you click on it, instead of a browser your bitcoin wallet opens up.
if you scan the QR code it is like this:
bitcoin:1FYkXwCvqPZVFmyDjnEVSnvjCr6iaPTWSh?amount=0.144 (you can click on it and see what happens, it will open your electrum wallet and goes to send tab and fills in all the information for you).
this whole thing has nothing to do with "transaction being stuck".

Have you tried sending the Bitcoin out? The easiest fix is to simply choose another wallet, and send the funds there. I can recommend Multibit or Mycelium, even though Electrum is generally reliable. As a new user, it's probably easier for you to be using Mycelium and the likes anyways.
As for a technical solution, unfortunately I've never seen this before. I could not help or understand why it says pending. Maybe you can try uninstalling completely, and then re-storing using your wallet passphrase words? Only do this if you know your passphrase is correct, otherwise your funds might be lost.
Good luck

I'm trying to sweep 0.14445499 BTC from a paper wallet to my Electrum wallet, from what I can see it went thru. I can see my balance at the bottom minus a fee and blockchain says it was sent to the address in my Electrum wallet. My Electrum history shows the transaction with a green check mark, the only problem is it still says pending in the requests box under the receive tab and I'm at 110 confirmations. I've tried restarting and reinstalling.
