Title: NEWBIE HELP
Post by: iflexit_1 on June 27, 2016, 11:11:27 PM
Well...I'm really new at this I guess! I downloaded the Electrum install wizard.  When I try to create a new standard wallet, it gives me a 13 word seed that is to be used to recover the wallet.  It asks me to retype the seed, but when I do, it doesn't allow me to move on from that point!  I've triple checked the spelling on each word and the sequence, but still nothing.  Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks.

What I did was, [ which I don't recommend] is to copy and paste it into the notepad and save it and hide it. that would probably solve your issue. Then ofcourse paste it when it asks for your seed. If not try a new wallet.

Try creating a standard wallet in your electrum, and before you get out of a form that displays seed. Copy and paste the first words that appear and write on paper. Then the next and write those words in the next form. You should not be having problems again. Thank you

If you have problem's with it how about just trying another wallet?
there are many offline that you can use,but i prefer blockchain or xapo,just try them out buddy!

What is happening? Is it showing any error message?

The most likely cause is just a typo. Have you tried to rewrite the seed from the start altogether?
