This isn't the correct place for support. The bitcointalk.org tech support forum or /r/Bitcoin would be better. But, in answer to your question: 1.213592234 BTC was sent to that address, but Bitcoin Core will typically not show received payments until it has completely synced. So you need to wait until the thing at the bottom of the Bitcoin Core window that says "x years/weeks/hours behind" gets to zero. On most computers, this will take a few days to complete. Lightweight wallets such as Electrum don't have this wait, but they work by trusting a third-party, which is why Bitcoin Core is still recommended for people who can tolerate the wait. (This is all mentioned on the bitcoin.org "choose your wallet" page, though perhaps it could be clearer.) If you need the BTC urgently, it is possible to access them without waiting for Bitcoin Core to sync, but it's a bit complicated. |

That's how far back the section of block chain you're currently processing is. It's not how long it's going to take. |

Thank you for the quick reply. Should I be able to receive within a couple of days? I send the request June 9th.

Hi
I opened a wallet. Bitcoin Core. I then requested a payment (see attached) then sent the information to a friend to send payment.
Here is my request Payment information**
URI: bitcoin:15nqxx9xvbqsqzui96C8Pd8v2XXEUeqtRp?amount=700.00000000&label=Heritage&message=Payment%20from%20Heritage
Address: 15nqxx9xvbqsqzui96C8Pd8v2XXEUeqtRp
Amount: 700.00000000 BTC
Label: Heritage
Message: Payment from Heritage
Now what do I do? They have sent it since yesterday.Here's what they wrote:
This is the address that we sent the funds to yesterday:
15nqxx9xvbqsqzui96C8Pd8v2XXEUeqtRp
This is the address it should have come from:
1HQBeT2GLBJ9D4mCyBVb5Ct1qDYj4J9udW
Please help.
Thank you,
