Bitcoin Forum

Hi,

I think I lost my coins as they have not shown up in my transaction history. The coins were bought in April 2015 and on the same night I did an update on electrum, this could have been stupidly done during the transaction . I seen the amount flicker in the corner of the screen then disappear :/ I have my password and seed phrase. I have also tried numerous things like exporting the private keys and sweeping the wallet but no joy but then again I'm not sure I'm doing it properly  :-\

Has anybody out there had any similar issues?  Or could steer me in the right direction to at least so I know if these coins can still be retrieved or are they lost forever ??????  ???

The coins are in the block chain and my broker says they are still under my control if I can find a way of accessing them, so he pointed me here.

To make matters worse my old laptop has been restored  :'(

If anybody can guide me through what went wrong, I'll gladly make a btc donation !

Move it to technical discussions. You think someone there will help you. Also I think is better to start to post Trx Id for see if your broker said the truth

If your bitcoins were not moved and you have the seed and private keys like you claimed, there is nothing to be worried about. Do you know the address where you received the funds and can you actually see the bitcoins in a blockexplorer? If the answer is yes for both questions, try to go to console and run the following command (not sure If the version you're using support this though):


If the address is in your wallet then It should return 'true' and If you don't know the address, try this:


It's still unclear to me what's your issue exactly is. It's simply that the balance and transaction history are not displaying correctly?

Hi,

Thank you for the fast reply! :) I cant see my address in electrum but I know it was copied to the broker and I have the block chain here

Is this what you mean by answering yes to both. If so is this in the console tab I run in the command???

Yes like this and hit enter:

You're using version 3.0.2 now? you restored your wallet from a seed? If yes, which version you were using before? I'm not sure why you're getting this error though.

You are posting this in a wrong forum so first move it to technical discussion forum as there are many people who can help you and don't trust anyone with your private key or wallet seeds. Did you tried importing your wallet to blockchain? or try creating new wallet and import your seeds on electrum.

Importing my wallet to block chain???? Yes, I created a new wallet and import your seeds on electrum.

Sorry I'm new here, have you a link to the technical discussion?
