I then went to my new Electrum wallet and put in the amount to be received about 1 minute later.
You don't have to enter the amount you want to receive.
This is an additional feature.
Did you only rely on this to check wether you received your amount?
Did you check the total balance and tansaction history? Is it completely 'ignoring' your transaction?
As of 12 hours, I still don't see it in my Electrum wallet, but checking on blockchain, I see that the transaction has been confirmed >60 times. I have the most recent build directly from the Electrum website, running on a Mac. Anyone have any suggestions?
Try the following:
Open electrum, goto the console ('View' -> 'Show console') and type in:
ismine("YOUR_ADDRESS_HERE")
This should return
true if the address was generated within your wallet.
