I think that's because blockchain.info(.com) uses a different derivation method.

I'd store your seed somewhere safe, and then try to reinstall Electrum, and then reimport the seed (and thus your wallet), as i suspect something about your electrum.exe has been corrupted somehow..

What Electrum version are you using?

 
Code:
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'
Seems like an error that can be found more frequently in older versions, usually in combination when using a ledger Nano S, looking at github crash reports/bugs. That's not the case here is it?
If it is, look at this, https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/3508#issuecomment-351222172

I had a similiar error about 2 or 3 months ago. I updated electrum and the error was gone. So safe your electrum wallets, download the latest electrum version and install it!

Try first what AdolfinWolf said. Perhaps you will get solution. If there is still problem then your blockchain.com process is wrong I think. You don't need to enter seed on blockchain wallet in order to input an address. You will find your private key on you Electeum wallet. There is individual private key for each btc address. You need only private key which address you hold btc. Then input your address on blockchain with private key. You need always private key for every transaction. If you don't know how to find private key then I have to sit on pc or someone else will help you. Note it only you need private key in order to input address on blockchain wallet. Doesn't need seed. It will need only for recover Electeum wallet itself.

If none of the previous solutions work and if you are certain that your Electrum is the official one (and your computer is not infected), you can try to make yourself a 100% new wallet, write down the seed and so on and just send the funds from your blockchain.info/.com (from the web wallet itself) to your new address.

And just keep a wallet with the few addresses you've used in the past just in case you may get more funds on those addresses. And for those you'll import the private keys, not the seed/secret.

Here is a user who had such an issue and his explanation how he fixed it, maybe it can help.

Problem:
Quote
This error is popping up on both my Electrum 2.6.2 client on Mac OS Yosemite as well as on Electrum 2.5.4 client on Tails 2.2 whenever I try to send bitcoin to another address. Please help!

His solution:

Sorry, it turns out the mistake was incredibly simple. I just logged out of
both accounts and recovered on the 2.6.2. When I tried the transfer funds
again, it asked for a password which it hadn't been doing before --
presumably because I was in a watch-only mode (which was never indicated
after an initial recovery). It was legit just a dumb user error fixed by
the equivalent of turning the power off and flipping it back on again.

Of course, like the previous members suggested make sure you have the official wallet and last stable version.

Many thanks guys! I reinstalled the new version and then i restored my account without 2fa and then i was able to send btc. But I can not understand why when I tried to restore account in other software wallets by the seedI have seen a message stating that the seed is invalid.
