Title: Have seed, have password, have wallet file, but can't load it in Electrum! Post by: btcquestionasker on March 01, 2016, 11:22:17 PM I don't have access to the Windows machine right now, but that wallet should still be on the Windows machine. However, I want to load it on my Linux machine. I copied my wallet file from Electrum on Windows and am trying to open it in Electrum on Linux. It is about 8k in size, is a plain text file and has fields like this:
"accounts": { "0": { "change": [ "receiving": [ "accounts_expanded": {}, "addr_history": { "master_private_keys": { "master_public_keys": { "pruned_txo": {}, "seed": "use_encryption": true, "wallet_type": "standard", "winpos-qt": [ That is not all of them, and I left off the included data. I just wanted to give an example of the type of file I have. But everything with that file seems to be in order. However, if I copy it to my wallets directory and try to load it directly by typing 'electrum -w ~/.electrum/wallets/new_wallet' I get: File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/electrum/wallet.py", line 121, in read raise IOError("Cannot read wallet file.") IOError: Cannot read wallet file. If I load Electrum and do New/Restore, and paste in my 12-word seed, I get "Incorrect seed". I am sure that the seed is correct. I copied and pasted the seed directly into a text file specifically for transferring from Windows to Linux. Besides going back to the Windows machine (Which I don't have access to right now), what else can I try? It's not a problem of carriage-returns in the wallet file, is it? (because it was from a Windows machine and now I am on Linux). If so, how do I fix that? Is the file I mentioned at the beginning of this post the actual wallet file? Or am I missing some other file? If I create a brand new wallet in Electrum it has similar fields, although not all of the ones in my file. Title: Re: Have seed, have password, have wallet file, but can't load it in Electrum! Post by: btcquestionasker on March 04, 2016, 02:21:08 AM I resolved my issue by upgrading to Electrum 2.6.1.
