Title: noob with a question about Electrum Wallet bugging out Post by: pokotheclown on November 12, 2013, 03:18:03 PM Hello,
I purchased 1gh/s in USB ASIC miners a while back just to try mining BTC for a bit. My buddies showed me what to do and I listened and followed. I downloaded a wallet (Electrum Wallet) and started to mine! However, my low gh/s made me not check my wallet for a while... which was a mistake apparently. I tried opening it recently and it won't open anymore! I asked my friend about it, he told me to copy a file in the hidden folders to back it up and uninstall/reinstall. And I did that.. still no luck. I still have my SEED (random senetence thing) i downloaded it on another computer and the program would open, but would not accept my SEED. I then moved my file from the hidden folder and put it on my laptop on the fresh E.WAllet... and no luck, the samething happened, the program would not open. Any suggestions? Thanks! I posted this in the wrong section before!

I suppose it is not a so old seed, so it should work with 1.9.3
You can try to locate the electrum.dat you have in the Electrum folder after installing it from http://electrum.org Title: Re: noob with a question about Electrum Wallet bugging out Post by: pokotheclown on November 17, 2013, 02:56:55 AM Thanks! Im going to try right now!

When you first run electrum it displays the seed for you to write down and in the next step you have to type it in to verify that you wrote it down correctly. So if you didn't follow those steps at the start and have an incorrect seed I'm afraid you are in trouble. |
