Here are the details from blockr.io in regards to my transaction:

Hash
1VVNzb5kVDSLHAsYrxCuMbKv1bSisHDS2
Balance
0.35200000 BTC
Total received
0.36150000 BTC
Transactions
3
Unconfirmed
0.00000000 BTC
Note: Unconfirmed balance is not part of the address balance or total.


this amount is showing in that hash wallet when i copy and past it into electrum open/restore wallet. but is saying it is watch only.

Yes, because you copy pasted an address. That is how you create a watch only address. If I could spend your bitcoin because I had your address bitcoin wouldnt work, because no one could tell anyone their addresses.

I have no recollection of ever creating a watchonly wallet. I have only ever used the one and havent had this issue in the past.
In my list of receiving addresses on my wallet i cannot find this particular one

If the address is not from your wallet, why did you use it for a withdrawal and expect the coins to end up in your wallet?



-snip-
so is this the withdrawl address you have set into bitbargans because this address is created last month and i think you also have its private key in any of your wallet brecause if you copyed it from someone other then it should be used multiple time but it is not.so tell me how many wallets do u have

There is no such thing. It was maybe used for the first time in a transaction last month.

Yes this is the address my electrum wallet generated for me when i opened it up earlier today.
I have around 3 wallets in total (one default and 1 that i used my seed key to open up which in turn duplicated it)

I have no recollection of setting up a watch only wallet. I have absolutely no idea how this random generated code came up, especially when it is linked to someone elses.

Now Im confused. You say its not in your list of addresses, but it was created by your wallet?
