There is malware that can change addresses copied to the clipboard with the malware author's . Try copying another address using electrum and then paste in a text editor. Does it match the address you see in electrum?

You don't need to enlarge the gap limit or generate new addresses on the cold wallet. The unsigned transaction from the online watch only wallet contains details about which private keys the cold wallet should generate to sign the transaction so that's how the cold wallet knows. You don't have to do anything.

This has nothing to do with electrum servers. It's an issue with the SSL certificate that bitpay is sending to electrum. According to electrum you don't trust the certificate authority that issued that cert. I don't know how you would go about fixing it in windows 11.

Electrum can sign with legacy addresses and those signatures can be verified by other wallet software because there's a standard behind it. But when it comes to non-legacy addresses there is no standard signature format so electrum generated signatures can't be verified by other wallet software.

Re: Securely sweeping a paper wallet into Electrum ok this way?
by

If you want to send the entire amount in the paper wallet to relai you can simply sweep the coins to your address in relai. So in the sweep window you put in your address in relai instead of an address in your electrum wallet.

Re: Help: Problems encountered in restoring Bitcoin from old Electrum wallet in 2017

Local transactions are transactions that are recorded  in the electrum wallet file but not known to the electrum server you are connected to. Electrum depends on electrum servers to interact with the blockchain including finding transactions relevant to your wallet. Because these transactions are for bitcoin cash and not bitcoin so the electrum server you are connected to does not know about them since it's a bitcoin electrum server. You can simply right click on the transactions and choose to remove them from your wallet file. The balance will then update.

You can enter your friend's address in the sweep window and all the funds in the paper wallet will be sent to that address. You don't need to add any prefix to the address. Prefixes are only added to private keys but you don't need to do that either.

so i tried to use the seed on a different wallet but there i get "invalid seed"

By different wallet do you mean other wallet software? Electrum seeds don't work with other wallet software. Try restoring from seed again in electrum by going to file menu > new/restore, enter a unique filename and click ok. Then proceed with on-screen instructions for the rest of it.

Do you know maybe when creating new seed in Electrum if by chance I get all words that are BIP39 compatible (without "special" words unique for Electrum word list) can I recreate that seed on BIP39 wallet?

You will definitely get a seed with bip39 words only because that's been the default behaviour of electrum since version 2.0. However it won't be a bip39 seed and you won't be able to restore it in other bip39 wallets. Wallet software has to support electrum seeds for you to be able to restore in it. Blue wallet is one such program that supports it.

It's dangerous to use your wallet on other people's devices. You don't know what sort of malware those devices might have.

Labels are saved in your Electrum wallet files. But is there a way to only save the labels on your local machine without a copy of your wallet file and without using LabelSync?

You can export them. Wallet menu > labels > export

Firstly check your coins distribution on ELECTRUM. If you have them on chain then choose BTC or bitcoin as the network but if you have the coins on a lighting network you can choose lightning on binance. My best guess is those coins are on the bitcoin network not a lightning network. If you are confused which just opens your balance on Electrum and you will find the amount of coins you have on chain and also the ones you have on a lightning network if any.

Lightning network if an alternative off the bitcoin network and since you are asking this question then I assume you can't make use of a lightning channel so simply go with OmegaStarScream's point.

How do I check where the coins are distributed?

If you're on PC or mac then click on the balance in the bottom left. It should display a pie chart telling you how many of your coins are on-chain and how many are on lightning.

There was no seed extension AKA passphrase functionality in electrum versions that old. The seed was all you needed to restore the wallet.

Actually you don't have to change the gap limit at all. You can use the following command in the console to get the private key for a specific index:

Code:
getprivatekeyforpath("m/0'/50000")

There is no need to export all the private keys. You can get an address specific private key using the getprivatekeys() command in the electrum console or via the command line.

I know quite a bit about Electrum private key, public keys, spending and storage in air gapped or hardware wallets etc,  I just need to know how to trust a public key in Electrum on Linux Mint v22
What exactly are you afraid of and what do you think can happen after importing an Electrum public key into your new Linux distro? Since you said that you know quite a lot, then I am sure you know that having someone's public key can't help you spend their coins. Importing public keys is not a question of security and trust but rather privacy.

He's talking about gpg public keys not bitcoin ones. He's already figured it out according to the comments above.

To create a watch only wallet for your electrum cold wallet use the master public key not addresses. This way you'll see your entire wallet and have nearly unlimited addresses to give out to senders. See the guide for creating deterministic watch only wallets:
