Title: crash
Post by: snel0026. on April 05, 2019, 01:36:53 PM
I had a crash of my system.
I have re-installed the newest version of Electrum (3.3.4) and i did the following:

File
New/Restore
Fil in "default_wallet"
Next
Standard wallet
Next
I already have a seed
Next
Options
Extend this seed with custom words
OK
I fill in my seed + extend custom word

Than i can't klick on next.
I'm sure that i fill in the correct seed.

What I'm doing wrong?

Thank you in advanced.
Wim

Take out the custom words and try it again to see if it accepts those (if the button isn't greyed out).

It's likely you've written a word down wrong (everyone's done that before) check the wordlist here https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/master/electrum/wordlist/english.txt (if you used the English word list).

Try selecting the words that appear from the menu too (in case of spelling error)

Type 12 words -> click Next -> type your custom words.

Nope. It's because of the extension words. That step is only for the seed, the extension words have to be added at the next step.
