Aha i see!

Well i managed to do that. I sent the equivalent of 8 euros to my wallet with that 1J adress.
So now it says +9,5etc mBtc unconfirmed. Do i need to do something to confirm the transfer?

Once i have that BC in the wallet how do i do an actual payment online. Like i need to buy something for equivalent of 5 euros and i already tried i get a payment key i imagine i have to go to Send and fill in the code + correct amoun in microBitcoin? (which is 1btc = 1000 mbtc??)

Edit: right i see the confirmation was on the side of bitmymoney. The 9,5etc MBtc is in my account. So now for the payment. Any advice do i have to do what i described above?
Edit2: right i succesfully managed doing just that!  Cool

Noob Question: How to to transer Bitcoin from online site to Electrum Wallet

Total noob. First time i use this.

So i bought Bitcoin for 10 euros at bitmymoney.
I got the electrum wallet since it says its the most secure.
I opened a default wallet with the words and password.
Now i read FAQs both on the bitmymoney and electrum sites but nowhere does it specify how i am supposed to move my bitcoin to the wallet.
It gives me a long code starting with 1N etc etc which it says i am supposed to enter in my wallet. But where?
'Receive' seems most logical but there is a code starting with 1J already and i cant delete / adjust that no matter what i do.
I checked all options but cant find 'receive'. Only 'send' but i figure i should be receiving.

Anyone knows where i can do this? As far as i understand it as soon as i have this Bitcoin in my wallet i can do a payment with it (using the Send tab??)

Thanks.
