Title: Bitcoins are gone!
Post by: russianguy on May 10, 2016, 01:08:09 PM
Dear All,

I have a problem. I used tails with Electrum. A week ago I couldn't ran it with phrase "no wallet". Then I update the tails to 2.3 and electrum just can not run. I tried to start it in android using my seeds, so I did it, but i have 0.0 btc balance and see some input and output transactions and nothing else. Please help me  :'(

You mean when you tried to run Electrum, it was giving you error "no wallet"? That could be because Tails don't save sessions, when you reboot it starts a fresh one, this is why it is considered safe.

But if you have the seed and you're sure that you sent the coins to one of the addresses created by it then you don't need to worry about anything, what you should do is install the latest version of electrum on Ubuntu or Windows(make sure its free from viruses) and restore your seed there.

have you checked your addresses in block explorers to see if the balance matches correctly with what was shown in electrum? if it does match and you don't recall having made the latest transactions then that means someone have spent your bitcoins without you knowing. you might want to scan your PC for viruses in that case.
