Title: Help with the withdrawal of funds from the wallet.
Post by: Magola on August 08, 2019, 02:43:58 PM
Writes that the wallet is for viewing only. What does it mean that my savings will remain there forever?
I created a standard wallet, but did not know that it was view-only. In the application on the computer, the "wallet - seed" button is not active. I have a file with master-key.json, but when I import it, the "Next" button is not active.

Where and how did you create this wallet? Please explain in details.

"master-key.json" looks totally unrelated to Electrum.

Hi! I did it on my phone in mobile app "Electrum". I have had seed, master key and private key in file .json. And i can see my funds in it.

So you created the wallet in the Electrum's mobile app and are trying to import in the PC version?

You will need your backup seed which is 12 words long. Do you have it?

I can't send funds from the app on my phone too. Yes, i have a phrase that includes 12 words.
Name of file is "electrum-private-keys.json".

With the 12 words you can just import your funds to another wallet

It may be a bug or some incompatibility with the phone app.

Download on desktop, from Electrum.org
Then click"existing wallet" "I have seed phrase"
Your funds will be there.

If you're referring to the following behavior:

It means you're in the watch-only (watching your address) mode and you have no access to the private keys (spending).


But since you have your seed words and private keys, that should not be a problem. After installing the wallet, run electrum and follow the steps, screenshot to not get lost:

Click "Next" and you should be good to go.
