So I sent $150 to an Electrum wallet using the receieve funds tab on Electrum. I just realized I had only copy and pasted the address, but did not hit save on it. My original wallet says the transaction went through and allowed me to send it to that. I switched over to history to see if the money went through, saw there is only "Replaceable +0", switched back to Receive, and noticed the address was different.
Did I fuck up? Did I really just send $150 to a dead address?
Edit: My wallet continuously says "Synchronizing..." in the bottom left if that means anything.
Try changing servers on electrum and see if that helps sync; let it sit for a while. If it's not synced after a few hours, then you have corrupt headers. You need to upgrade electrum and thats easier said than done on tails. Only way I've gotten around that is to create a VM with windows/linux with VPN and sync it on there. Created a new wallet on tails and transfered it to new wallet from old one.
edit:
try this:
ctrl+L
/home/amnesia/.electrum
blockchain_headers
and rename it toblockchain_headers.bak
