I used Electrum as they had a good name but found it difficult to use and could not get my head around it so just gave up in the end and trusted it to God Smiley and thankfully it all got sorted out and I just left the wallet for years and left some funds in it and just checked once in a while.sense.

What was so difficult to use in Electrum?
It's a simple wallet, you have your addresses and your balance, you type the address and the amount you want to send and that's it!
I understand importing addresses and seeds would be more complicated for the new user but overall I don't see how it's harder to use that and think of a web-based wallet.

So I have had the Electrum account set up for years and never looked at it since and for the first time opened it up today grasping at straws and what did I see but 6 events only in my history all happening on the same day and within an hour of all my transactions in Blockchain.com, coincidence or connected but how?

Did you import your seed from blockchain into electrum?
If it's the same wallet of course it will show the same transactions.

But there is also one other thing, when I checked my blockchain wallet a few times this last few days it was left with only £29 and I thought why have the thieving shits done that, but a few days later it went to £43 and today it is £65, I cannot work any of this out.

Do you have any other coins in your wallet?
Since the value is shown in £ it might just be that you have some coins that have gained 200% in the last few days.
