Re: [qubes-users] A Little Help Understanding Bitcoin

2020-07-17 Thread Qubes




If I look at my watching only wallet at the bottom right of the Electrum
window there is a red icon indicating network status. I expected this
icon to be green since this wallet is supposed to be watching, no?



In your watching-only electrum you should see it green. You probably
have some configuration error.  Does firefox work fine on this VM?



I just changed the template my Electrum qube is based on from a 
fedora-31-minimal template to a fedora-31 template and my watching only 
wallets' network status has now turned green and I can see my transactions.




In additiona, if someone could confirm to me that what I am doing is
correct. I created a new transaction on the receiving tab of the
watching only wallet and then used the QR code generated by this to
receive bitcoin, but I have not received anything. Am I just impatient
or was I not supposed to do this in my watching only wallet? Not sure if
this is related to my above question of the network status not being green.

I am a complete Bitcoin noob. Any help with this will be very much
appreciated.



Yes, if your electrum can't connect it won't show your balance. If you
know what address did you sent, try some block explorer:

- https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/



Would anybody have an idea what a minimal template might be missing in 
this particular usecase?

[qubes-users] A Little Help Understanding Bitcoin

2020-07-17 Thread Qubes
I created a offline and watching only (Electrum) bitcoin wallet as 
describes in the Qubes docs, 
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/split-bitcoin/, but I wanted to find out of 
I did something wrong or if what I am seeing is in fact correct.


If I look at my watching only wallet at the bottom right of the Electrum 
window there is a red icon indicating network status. I expected this 
icon to be green since this wallet is supposed to be watching, no?


The watching only wallet uses sys-whonix as its netVM.


In additiona, if someone could confirm to me that what I am doing is 
correct. I created a new transaction on the receiving tab of the 
watching only wallet and then used the QR code generated by this to 
receive bitcoin, but I have not received anything. Am I just impatient 
or was I not supposed to do this in my watching only wallet? Not sure if 
this is related to my above question of the network status not being green.
