Bitcoin not verified #4550

Open scumfusion opened 6 years ago

scumfusion commented 6 years ago

Bought some bitcoin from a libertyx and the receipt says the transaction went through yet it will not show in my wallet. It says "not verified +0." and when i try to load the transaction from the blockchain the server will not answer. I made the transaction 8 days ago

upgrade to the latest version. this bug has been fixed.

scumfusion commented 6 years ago

Since I use tails, I had to seed it to an another computer with the updated version and it shows nothing still

AbdussamadA commented 6 years ago

on the second pc with the updated electrum what color circle icon do you see in the bottom right of the electrum window? does the transaction show up at all in the history tab?

scumfusion commented 6 years ago

It’s green

Nothing show us not even an early transaction

AbdussamadA commented 6 years ago

look up the address on a block explorer to see whether the transaction confirmed or not. block explorer would be a site like blockchain.info

AbdussamadA commented 6 years ago

also on the second pc electrum go to view menu > show addresses, switch to addresses tab, press ctrl+f and paste in the address you gave libertyx. this is to confirm that the address is indeed in the wallet.

you should also try switching servers via tools > network, right click on a server in the list on the server tab and choose use server.

The address isn’t in any wallet anymore

AbdussamadA commented 6 years ago

so where did you get the address from? if it's not in your electrum wallet then the address is not under your control and it does not belong to you. could be you had a malware infection.

scumfusion commented 6 years ago

I got it from the electrum wallet and now it’s not showing it’s adress’. I know it was the right address though, even after I bought the coin I made sure it was right it at the moment it’s not showing

AbdussamadA commented 6 years ago

On the new PC electrum go to view menu > show console and then type these two commands there:

wallet.change_gap_limit(200)

for thing in range(0,50): wallet.create_new_address(True)

Then on the addresses tab see if you can find the address in question with ctrl+f.

AbdussamadA commented 6 years ago

Also tell me did you import any private keys generated outside of electrum?

scumfusion commented 6 years ago

The addrress are up but not the one I was given that day. And I used the seed to import the wallet

AbdussamadA commented 6 years ago

the address doesn't show up in the old wallet either? if it doesn't then it's a malware infection on that system with the old electrum.

scumfusion commented 6 years ago

Has it only infected the electrum wallet, or is the whole system done in?

AbdussamadA commented 6 years ago

probably the whole system that has the old version of electrum.

SomberNight commented 6 years ago

Are you sure it was the correct seed? You might have created multiple wallets over time.

scumfusion commented 6 years ago

It simply says "not verified" in the wallet i sent it to and the address no longer exists in it. I feel as if whoever was in the libertyx at the time knew how to steal the coins mid send. Is that possible?
