Title: From Electrum 0.59b to newest Electrum Post by: VexoCoin on August 07, 2017, 07:49:32 PM I mined back in 2012 and had an Electrum wallet (0.59b). I have the mnemonic, and am able to restore without error in the newest version of Electrum, but the address generated is different (and empty).
When inputting my seed I must check "BIP39 seed" under "Options" or it will not allow me to press "Next". I did some research and found mention of the changes made going to version 1.8+, but I was unable to find any mention of this impacting a restore with a seed from before this time. Another note that I do not see how could be relevant (but wth) is that I make no changes in the wallet derivation ("m/44'/0'/0'") formula. Any help?

I was very familiar with early Electrum versions.

I suggest restoring in 1.8, grabbing your private keys and saving them, installing the latest version of electrum, creating a new deterministic wallet and sweeping your keys to it:

Thanks, not sure I would have spotted that if you hadn't shown disbelief at it not functioning! |
