Title: Unable to recover wallet
Post by: hooligan1234 on October 03, 2016, 02:33:41 PM
Ok so I have a standard  Electrum wallet with 13 words in the seed.

At first my seed was something and I tried putting it in other PC's but it wouldn't sync, for some reason, today I checked the seed in the app and it was a different seed than I had initially. Very odd, does any one know what that happened?

But my main issue is this, whenever I try to sync my wallet on any PC other than my home PC, it just wouldn't sync my transactions and balance, it would open a wallet, with my seed and pass, with 0 BTC in balance and no history of transactions, I have tried it on other PC's, on my phone, I have also tried faster servers like h.1209k.com, still, nothing.

It is very important I have this on my phone and other PC, please help me.

Thank you.

Are the receiving addresses that you see in the list the same in both wallets? If so, it is probably a syncing issue. If not, it is likely that you mistyped the seed somehow or that you simply have the wrong seed for the wallet.

If you received a different seed in the app, I think it was not correctly initialized and after that it restarted the setup process.

If you enter the seed you have in a "new" wallet on your pc, does it create the correct wallet?

It won't show any addresses or transactions, I triple checked the seed, it is the same, I think it is a syncing problem, however I have no idea how to fix it.

I clicked restore wallet in the app, and used my seed.

It won't create my wallet anywhere.

Try downloading the latest electrum version - 2.7.0

Restore your wallet once again and if the problem persists, contact ThomasV.
